Why work with Pie for Providers?

Make an impact.

We need folks who understand that gender, racial and economic inequalities put up barriers within the childcare system, and who are committed to breaking down those barriers.

Child care is perhaps the most overlooked and important social issue of our time. Working with Pie for Providers means:

• Supporting fair pay for caregivers, who are mostly women and disproportionately people of color.

• Helping low income families - especially mothers - access child care, so that they can pursue better job opportunities. 

• Helping children access stable and consistent early care and education, which is essential to their long term success.

Working at Pie for Providers means you can leverage your expertise to deepen our impact on child care providers and families. This is a chance to contribute to a product from the ground up, and bring your own ideas to improve our product.

Work from home, on your own time.

Working with Pie is 100% remote and extremely flexible, with optional co-working for Chicago-based candidates.

We’re committed to dismantling broken systems.

Our mission is deeply rooted in a vision of equity and justice; child care is a gender, racial and economic justice issue. As such, we are committed to putting the perspectives & voices of the communities we serve front and center. It is our responsibility to engage personally and professionally in the work to dismantle structural racism and systemic inequality. Therefore, we are especially looking for candidates from underserved communities and marginalized identities, preferably with lived experience dealing with the child care crisis. We are also building practices of equity, inclusion and justice into our hiring process to ensure team members who are closest to the child care crisis have the greatest impact on our work.

We are working to actively and explicitly diversify our team.  To support our equity goals, we:

• Mitigate bias by assessing candidates using a standardized rubric and questions that draw on current job expectations over credentials

• Post all job descriptions with salary amounts or ranges

• Offer flexible work schedules and hours

• Ensure we interview at least one woman and one BIPOC candidate for each open role

We value transparency, and while we have made strides in our efforts toward equity, we still have work to do. We will always have more opportunities to learn and grow in this arena.
