Our one-year Fellowship offers full-time engagements with our portfolio companies in developing and emerging countries across Latin America, Africa, India and Europe
The LGT Impact Fellowship builds upon our experience in running this program since 2009 and placing well over 150 Fellows with leading organizations around the world.
We are offering three generic types of Fellowship roles, all of which involve one-year full-time engagements in the field. Note, that the availability of these fellowship types varies from year to year based on the demand.
Fellows are employed by their host organizations based on a working or consulting contract that is in line with local HR and employment policies. To formalize their role as LGT Impact Fellows, nominated candidates are also asked to sign a Fellowship Agreement with LGT Venture Philanthropy Foundation
Fellows' compensation allows for basic cost coverage of local living costs such as housing, food, regular transport & communication, and petty cash. These expenses vary by location. If the host organization can provide e.g. housing to Fellows, then the paid out monthly compensation is being reduced accordingly. Business expenses have to be agreed upon separately with the host organization and claimed according to their policies.
In order to efficiently source talents globally, we collaborate with numerous career centers of universities and business schools, alumni organizations of public and private institutions and sector-specific job portals.
If you have access to groups of professionals looking for impactful careers, please contact us.
Moreover, we collaborate with selected partners to extend the positive impact of our Fellowship Program beyond the boundaries of our portfolios. However, participation in the Fellowship Program is generally restricted to portfolio companies.

LGT VP carefully screens potential candidates, making sure that their skills set and values would match the needs and values of partner organizations. The commitment of LGT VP to this, and the amazing roster of Fellows, could definitely make a significant difference for organizations that want to change the world."
