Ride-sharing platform extends mission-driven approach from business model to hiring practices, seeking leaders who view social justice as core business strategy
Mountain View, Calif.- inDrive, the world’s second most downloaded ride-hailing app, has set a bold goal: to positively impact 1 billion people by 2030. To achieve it, the company is strengthening its impact arm and launching “Positions of Purpose,” a global campaign to recruit senior leaders in child protection, education, and governance.
inDrive first challenged the ride-hailing model by allowing riders and drivers to negotiate fares directly, building a business on fairness instead of opaque pricing. Now, the company is challenging what impact hiring should look like — putting social justice roles at the same level of priority and visibility as growth, product, and operations.
The campaign introduces three unprecedented roles:
- Global Director, Family-Based Care in Child Protection
- Global Director, Education Policy and Systems Strengthening
- Global Director, Impact Governance and Public Policy
Unlike traditional tech companies that typically hire for growth, development, and operations, inDrive is integrating its founding principles of fairness and social impact directly into its organizational structure. The company’s approach reflects a belief that good business means being part of the community, understanding what is missing, and filling that gap. inDrive’s impact team, now consisting of over 70 dedicated professionals, runs 8 in-house programs, spanning education, sports, women’s entrepreneurship, air quality and driver empowerment.
With this move, inDrive is further extending its mission of “challenging injustice” from its business model into its leadership structure. The company operates in nearly 1000 cities across 48 countries, and says its next phase is about scaling impact through its social programs as much as through fair deals on its platform.
“We operate across many emerging and underserved markets. If our mission is to challenge injustice, we have to build the leadership capacity to deliver it at scale,” said Arsen Tomsky, Founder and CEO of inDrive. “These roles will help us translate intent into impact – strengthening families, improving education systems, and advancing good governance.”
Beyond these new roles, the company is also hiring for a broader range of positions that bridge business and social impact. Candidates who want to ensure their next role — whether in marketing, partnerships, governmental affairs, or other areas — contributes to meaningful change can now easily find these listings on inDrive’s career website, marked with the “Positions of Purpose” label.
The campaign reframes hiring itself as a platform for advocacy, using LinkedIn and Meta, directing applicants to a dedicated landing page aligned with the company’s careers site.
The company is offering competitive compensation packages and welcomes candidates from both business and nonprofit backgrounds. All roles are remote-eligible.
