Global philanthropy foundation focusing on health, food, energy, and economic opportunity
The Rockefeller Foundation operates a grantmaking and impact-measurement engine supporting global health, food systems, and economic resilience. The tech stack is operational (Salesforce, Workday, ADP, SAP) rather than product-focused, with current migration away from Box toward SharePoint—typical of a mission-driven organization standardizing on integrated enterprise systems. The hiring profile is heavily internship-weighted (13 of 17 active roles) across ops and research, suggesting capacity-building for execution of established programs rather than new capability development.
Notable leadership hires: Food Is Medicine Director, Convenings Director
