International development nonprofit focused on agriculture, climate, and resource management
Winrock operates a field-based development organization spanning 11 countries across Africa, Asia, and North America, with operational depth in cashew supply chains, reforestation, and sustainable agriculture systems. The tech stack reflects a data-driven, field-research model: KoboToolbox and SurveyCTO for survey collection, SPSS and R for analysis, LIDAR for resource mapping, and Power BI for visualization. Hiring velocity is decelerating across most departments, but active recruitment in ops, finance, and logistics signals ongoing scaling of on-the-ground programming and supply-chain work.
