We are hiring three new team members to maintain our IT infrastructure, provide technical support, and ensure the smooth operation of our internal helpdesk. Coefficient Giving’s tech ecosystem is wonderfully broad, flexible, and ever-expanding.

Partnerships Associate
Coefficient GivingOur mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us.
Title: Partnerships Associate Location: Remote US Work Type: Remote, Full Time Department: Partnerships Job Description: We strongly prefer hires to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and will support candidates with the costs of relocation to the Bay. However, we'll consider candidates based elsewhere, particularly in New York City. If you are based elsewhere, you need to be willing to travel to the Bay Area regularly, particularly early in your time in this role. Coefficient Giving is hiring a Partnerships Associate to support work with our growing list of donors. We believe the next few years represent a unique opportunity to significantly scale philanthropic funding across our cause areas, and the Partnerships Associate will play a vital role in making that happen. This is a generalist role — you will support donor outreach, run events, and create materials that help philanthropists connect with our highest-impact funding opportunities. We’re proud of our track record: - Our grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100,000 lives, and our farm animal welfare grants have improved the lives of over 3 billion animals. - We supported the late-stage clinical trials for the R21 malaria vaccine, now being scaled to protect millions of kids globally. - We were the earliest major funder of the YIMBY movement to build more housing. Our grantees have led the charge on major wins like City of Yes in New York and SB 79 in California, which will enable hundreds of thousands of new housing units. - We jump-started the field of AI safety and security and have played a vital role in addressing other existential threats, such as mirror bacteria. About the Partnerships team Our Partnerships function launched in 2024, leveraging our internal research and grantmaking expertise to direct donors to the highest-impact funding opportunities available. In 2025, Partnerships helped direct more than $200 million to high-impact causes outside our core relationship with Good Ventures. We see the coming years as a unique opportunity to be even more ambitious in scaling this work. The Partnerships team builds relationships with philanthropists interested in cost-effective giving within global health, global catastrophic risks, and/or farm animal welfare. In addition to matching donors with the most promising funding opportunities across our portfolios, we are building an advisory practice to offer bespoke support to emerging philanthropists seeking a more comprehensive strategy. Day to day, the team manages many workstreams at once: it cultivates relationships with ultra-high-net-worth donors, develops proposals and reports, plans events, coordinates with expert program teams to launch new funds, and works with grants and legal to structure how money moves. About this role Your job is to help the Partnerships team connect with donors and communicate our work. You’ll provide direct support to senior team members with donor outreach, serve as the Partnerships lead and coordinate with Operations to produce donor events, and collaborate with Communications on donor-facing materials. This role sits at the center of how we engage with donors and, because we are a small, growing team, you’ll get to shape how that work evolves. This team moves quickly and prioritizes speed and responsiveness. On any given day, your priorities may shift without warning. We're looking for someone who finds that energizing, not destabilizing. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build skills in donor engagement and philanthropic communications while contributing to high-impact work. You will have a wide portfolio that provides an inside view of the front lines of sophisticated donor cultivation and stewardship. The role reports to Liz Givens, Director of Partnerships. The Partnerships Associate will: - Support relationship building. Help cultivate new donor relationships by supporting outreach, preparing briefing materials, and ensuring timely follow-up. Research prospective donors and run regular portfolio reviews to assess the status of donor relationships and identify next steps. - Deliver donor events. Coordinate with the Operations team to plan and execute events that bring together donors and Coefficient Giving team members. Articulate event goals, design outreach strategy, maintain invitation lists, ensure internal stakeholders are well-prepared, and coordinate timely follow-up. Create a Partnerships event playbook to document best practices. - Create donor-facing materials. Work with the Communications team to produce content that helps donors understand our work and funding opportunities — impact reports, proposals, presentations, and other collateral tailored to donor audiences. - Support senior leaders. Support senior team members in their donor engagement. Help them prepare for meetings, coordinate follow-up, and stay on top of their donor portfolios. - Triage central communications. Manage the Partnerships inboxes to ensure all messages are routed and actioned appropriately. - Pitch in where needed. Contribute to team priorities as they emerge. In a small, growing team, flexibility is essential. What we’re looking for We’re looking for people with 1–3 years of professional experience who are excited to grow in a donor engagement or partnerships role. - Strong communication. You write clearly and professionally. You can adapt your style for different audiences, from busy executives to external partners. - Organization and follow-through. You manage multiple workstreams quickly and efficiently without dropping details. You keep systems clean and follow through on commitments. - Attention to detail. You enjoy planning and executing events that bring our community together and creating communications that our donors will appreciate. - Relationship-oriented. You have good instincts for stakeholder management. You stay organized across multiple workstreams, keep the right people in the loop, and bring structure to projects that might otherwise drift. - Collaborative mindset. You work well within and across teams — partnering with Communications, Operations, and other functions to get things done. - Ownership and initiative. You take responsibility for your work and proactively look for ways to improve. You're comfortable making judgment calls with incomplete information and don't need to escalate every decision. You know when to act and when to check in. - Comfort with AI tools. You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be interested in using LLMs and automation to reduce manual work. - Mission alignment. You’re excited about Coefficient Giving’s mission and approach. You want to help direct more resources toward high-impact causes. The ideal candidate for this position will possess many of the skills and experiences described above. However, there is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you are on the fence about applying because you are unsure whether you are qualified, we strongly encourage you to apply. We’re particularly interested in candidates with the following backgrounds, though many other backgrounds may be a good fit: - Development, fundraising, or donor relations in nonprofit organizations - Policy, research, or program roles, especially within Coefficient Giving cause areas - Event planning, coordination, or production in nonprofit, corporate, or political contexts - Communications, marketing, or content creation, especially for external audiences - Executive assistant, chief of staff, or operations roles supporting senior leaders Role details & benefits - Compensation: We anticipate total compensation for this role of $145,475 (including an unconditional 401(k) grant of $18,975). This includes 10% upward adjustment for a location in San Francisco. - Location: We strongly prefer hires to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are open to hires outside the U.S. willing to consistently work business hours with heavy overlap with Pacific time. - Unfortunately, we aren’t able to sponsor visas for this role. Candidates intending to work from the U.S. must already have U.S. work authorization to apply. - Benefits: Our benefits package includes: - Excellent health insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any eligible dependents) and an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement for certain other personal health expenses - Dental, vision, and life insurance for you and your family - Four weeks of PTO recommended per year - Four months of fully paid family leave - A generous and flexible expense policy - Support for remote work - Start date: Ideally, we’d like new hires to start as soon as possible after receiving an offer, but we can be flexible for exceptional candidates. We aim to employ people with many different experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds who share our passion for accomplishing as much good as we can. We are committed to creating an environment where all employees have the opportunity to succeed, and we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected status.

Partnerships Operations Lead
Coefficient GivingOur mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us.
Coefficient Giving is hiring our first Partnerships Operations Lead to build the infrastructure needed to support our growing portfolio of donor relationships. We believe the next few years represent a unique opportunity to significantly scale philanthropic funding across our cause areas. The Operations Lead will build and manage the systems we need to unlock our potential and deliver excellence to our stakeholders. We’re also looking for an Associate to join our growing Partnerships team. If that sounds more like you, we encourage you to take a look at the job description. About Coefficient Giving Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is a philanthropic funder and advisor. Since 2014, we’ve directed over $5 billion in grants as part of our mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. We work with a range of donors who share our commitment to cost-effective, high-impact giving. Our current funds include Science and Global Health R&D, Navigating Transformative Artificial Intelligence, Abundance & Growth, Farm Animal Welfare, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness, and more. In 2025, we recommended more than $1 billion to high-impact causes. We’re proud of our track record: - Our grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100,000 lives, and our farm animal welfare grants have improved the lives of over 3 billion animals. - We supported the late-stage clinical trials for the R21 malaria vaccine, now being scaled to protect millions of kids globally. - We were the earliest major funder of the YIMBY movement to build more housing.

About this role We’re hiring an Operations Lead to build and maintain the operational infrastructure behind our ambitious Partnerships team. We’re helping direct hundreds of millions of dollars to the world’s most important problems, and we’re growing quickly. But many of our systems and processes are at version 1.0. Your job is to change that. You’ll be a key member of Partnerships, designing systems that make the team more efficient and effective. You’ll be the primary liaison between Partnerships and internal teams including Legal, Grants, Salesforce, and Finance. You’ll own key workflows — donor vetting, fund allocation, deal flow, donor privacy, communications triage — and bring structure to processes that are currently ad hoc or living in people’s heads. By creating a clear operational foundation for the team, you will enable us to run faster and support more donors. This role reports to Liz Givens, Director of Partnerships, and will partner closely with other team members to ensure that all of our business requirements are reflected in our systems. The Operations Lead will: - Set systems strategy. Work across the Partnerships team to identify business needs and determine which systems to build, fix, or retire. Be the primary point of contact between Partnerships and other internal teams. - Knowledge management and compliance. Own our existing CRM (Salesforce) for the Partnerships team, including improved configuration, data input and integrity, and reporting. Translate the Partnerships team’s needs into clear requirements and hold the Salesforce team accountable for delivering them. - Create and manage team policies and protocols. Document and maintain the operational rules the team runs on. Many of these exist informally today; your job is to make them explicit, consistent, and easy to follow. - Support donor cultivation and stewardship. Build the systems and infrastructure that help the team manage its donor pipeline and deliver on its commitments to existing partners. - Other operations. Proactively identify and build new systems as the team scales, knowing that what we have in place today may not serve us as we grow. What we're looking for The ideal candidate for this position will possess many of the skills and experiences described above. However, there is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you are on the fence about applying because you are unsure whether you are qualified, we strongly encourage you to apply. We’re looking for someone with a track record of building and maintaining operational systems. You should be a strong cross-functional operator who is energized by the prospect of turning informal processes into reliable ones. Specific things that matter: - Systems thinking. You see how pieces connect across teams and tools, and you design processes that scale rather than just solve the immediate problem. - Cross-functional communication. You can translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders and build good working relationships with teams that have different priorities than yours. - Project management. You can take a complex, multi-stakeholder initiative from scoping through execution. You manage timelines, dependencies, and competing priorities without losing track of the details. - Technical resourcefulness. You pick up new systems quickly. Salesforce experience is a plus but not required. What matters more is that you’re resourceful with technology and can partner effectively with Coefficient Giving’s Salesforce team to make sure what they build fits the Partnerships team’s needs. - Attention to detail. You care about data accuracy and process consistency. Things don’t fall through the cracks. - Initiative. You spot bottlenecks and fix them without waiting for problems to escalate to you. You can drive projects to completion with minimal oversight. - Comfort with AI tools. You don’t need to be a developer, but you should be interested in using LLMs and automation to reduce manual work. - Team-oriented. You enjoy being part of a highly collaborative team that is ambitious, humble, and service-oriented. We’re particularly interested in people with backgrounds in operations or project management, whether in nonprofit, philanthropic, or corporate settings — especially if you've built or improved operational systems in a fast-moving, high-performance environment and can coordinate effectively across multiple teams. Experience using a CRM in a donor relations, fundraising, or sales context is a plus. Role details & benefits - Compensation: We anticipate total compensation for this role of $155,825 (including an unconditional 401(k) grant of $20,325). - These compensation figures assume a location in the San Francisco Bay Area or Washington, D.C., where we have offices. Candidates based in New York City would receive a ~5% downward adjustment, and there would be a ~10% downward adjustment for candidates based elsewhere. - Location: We prefer candidates based in the Bay Area, though we are open to candidates working remotely who are able to overlap significantly with Pacific Time. - Unfortunately, we aren’t able to sponsor visas for this role, so candidates intending to work from the U.S. must have work authorization in the U.S. to apply. - Benefits: Our benefits package includes: - Excellent health insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any eligible dependents) and an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement for certain other personal health expenses - Dental, vision, and life insurance for you and your family - Four weeks of PTO recommended per year - Four months of fully paid family leave - A generous and flexible expense policy - Support for remote work - We can’t always provide every benefit we offer U.S. staff to international hires, but we’re working on it (and will usually provide cash equivalents of any benefits we can’t offer in your country) - Start date: Ideally, we’d like new hires to start as soon as possible after receiving an offer, but we can be flexible for exceptional candidates. We aim to employ people with many different experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds who share our passion for accomplishing as much good as we can.

Managing Director, Philanthropic Advisory
Coefficient GivingOur mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us.
Coefficient Giving is hiring a Managing Director, Philanthropic Advisory to lead our growing partnerships work, build a new advisory practice from the ground up, and help shape our organizational strategy as a member of our leadership team. We face a historic opportunity to scale philanthropic giving to the highest-impact causes, from global health and biosecurity to AI safety and beyond. We want to build the infrastructure to make that happen, with a goal of eventually directing more than $1 billion annually from donors beyond our founding partner, Good Ventures. Your job is to build the bespoke advisory practice that supports the next generation of major philanthropists, while overseeing and expanding our current funds and partnership offerings. While the advisory function spans our full portfolio, we expect AI safety and biosecurity philanthropy to be a key part of your work. About Coefficient Giving Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is a philanthropic funder and advisor that has directed more than $5 billion in grants since 2014. In 2025 we directed over $900 million from our founding partner Good Ventures and over $250 million from other donors, and we continue to rapidly scale both. We work with a range of donors who share our commitment to cost-effective, high-impact giving. Our current funds include Navigating Transformative Artificial Intelligence, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness, Science and Global Health R&D, Farm Animal Welfare, Abundance & Growth, and more. We’re proud of our track record: - Our grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100,000 lives, and our farm animal welfare grants have improved the lives of over 3 billion animals. - We supported the late-stage clinical trials for the R21 malaria vaccine, now being scaled to protect millions of kids globally. - We were the earliest major funder of the YIMBY movement to build more housing. Our grantees have led the charge on major wins like City of Yes in New York, and SB 79 in California, which will enable hundreds of thousands of new housing units. - We jumpstarted the field of AI safety and security and have played a vital role in addressing other existential threats, such as mirror bacteria. About our philanthropic advisory work We started more than a decade ago as a partnership with Good Ventures, the foundation of Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz, with a vision that we’d eventually grow to work with other partners as well. That began in earnest in 2024 with our >$100 million Lead Exposure Action Fund. In 2025, we more than doubled our partnerships work, helping direct more than $250 million from other donors. While we’re off to a strong start, we aim to build something more ambitious to meet the current moment. A growing cohort of donors is ready to deploy significant philanthropic capital cost-effectively across many causes. We expect many of the most important potential partners to require a higher level of advisory staffing and support — the same kind of dedicated, expert guidance that Cari and Dustin relied on at the outset of Good Ventures. We want to build an advisory practice to offer that same depth of support to new philanthropists while continuing to invest in our existing partnership offerings, which are growing rapidly. Coefficient Giving is unusually well-placed to capitalize on this opportunity: - We have a reputation for rigor and an unusually strong track record of effective giving at scale. - We have a growing number of strong connections and existing relationships with potential major donors interested in our approach to philanthropy. - Dustin and Cari are effective ambassadors to our target audience. They’re among the most generous young philanthropists in the country and bring both credibility and direct relationships to this work. While we think we’re well-positioned to scale, we don’t want to grow for growth’s sake; we want to remain flexible and continue to prioritize impact above all else. Success could also look like helping new donors get started in selecting causes and staffing up their own independent foundations rather than work with Coefficient long-term. About this role This role would sit on the leadership team, reporting to CEO Alexander Berger, and would lead our partnerships team currently around a dozen people across three sub-teams. It would also build out a new advisory practice to support the very largest new philanthropists. The Managing Director, Philanthropic Advisory will: - Build out a new bespoke advisory function from the ground up to ensure the next generation of high-impact philanthropists are as effective as possible. - Ensure we're delivering on key donor relationships — typically via other members of your team and the leadership team, but also by representing Coefficient Giving externally. To do this well, you will need to develop expertise across our funds and the broader ecosystem of approaches to effective philanthropy. - Develop a multi-year strategy to more than quadruple our non-Good Ventures funding directed to >$1b/year. - Manage and grow our partnerships team to execute your strategy effectively, ensuring consistent excellence in deliverables for partners. - Work alongside the leadership team on major organizational decisions, representing the perspectives of external donor partners. What we’re looking for This is an unusual role; we don’t expect there to be a perfect profile. We’re looking for someone with an outstanding track record leading teams or organizations, deep knowledge of at least one of our cause areas and the ability to get up to speed quickly on the others, commitment to our mission and approach, and a track record of building strong relationships with funders or customers. We don’t expect a fundraising background by default: our ideal hire might be the kind of person we’d hire to lead our own cause selection process, but who happens to be unusually outgoing and has experience working with funders. Another archetype could be consulting firm partners, who can bottom-line sophisticated analysis while also selling work. Some traits we’re particularly looking for: - Substantive depth: deep knowledge of at least one of our major cause areas, with the curiosity and capacity to engage credibly across others. - Strategic judgment: bringing rigor and judgment to org-wide decision-making and in setting priorities across partnership and advisory work. - Effective executive: high personal output and a track record of building, developing, and retaining strong teams. - Ownership and initiative: spotting gaps, proposing fixes, and driving workstreams with minimal oversight. - Strong external representation: can compellingly explain our value proposition to varied audiences.

Candidates based in New York City would receive a ~5% downward adjustment, and there would be a ~10% downward adjustment for candidates based elsewhere. - Location: We prefer candidates based in the Bay Area, though we are open to candidates working remotely who are able to overlap significantly with Pacific Time and willing to travel to the Bay frequently. - We are happy to consider sponsoring U.S. work authorization. However, we don’t control who is and isn’t eligible for a visa and can’t guarantee visa approval. - Benefits: Our benefits package includes: - Excellent health insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any eligible dependents) and an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement for certain other personal health expenses - Dental, vision, and life insurance for you and your family - Four weeks of PTO recommended per year - Four months of fully paid family leave - A generous and flexible expense policy - Support for remote work - We can’t always provide every benefit we offer U.S. staff to international hires, but we’re working on it (and will usually provide cash equivalents of any benefits we can’t offer in your country) - Start date: Ideally, we’d like new hires to start as soon as possible after receiving an offer, but we can be flexible for exceptional candidates. We aim to employ people with many different experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds who share our passion for accomplishing as much good as we can. We are committed to creating an environment where all employees have the opportunity to succeed, and we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected status.

Global Employment Lead
Coefficient GivingOur mission is to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us.
About Coefficient Giving Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is a philanthropic funder and advisor. Since 2014, we’ve directed over $4 billion in grants as part of our mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. We work with a range of donors who share our commitment to cost-effective, high-impact giving. Our current funds include Science and Global Health R&D, Navigating Transformative Artificial Intelligence, Abundance & Growth, Farm Animal Welfare, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness, and more. In 2025, we recommended more than $1 billion to high-impact causes. We’re proud of our track record: - Our grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100,000 lives, and our farm animal welfare grants have improved the lives of over 3 billion animals. - We supported late-stage clinical trials for the R21 malaria vaccine, now being scaled to protect millions of kids globally. - We were the earliest major funder of the YIMBY movement to build more housing. Our grantees have led the charge on major wins like City of Yes in New York, and SB 79 in California, which will enable hundreds of thousands of new housing units. - We jump-started the field of AI safety and security and have played a vital role in addressing other existential threats, such as mirror bacteria.
