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.
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. 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.
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 who are 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.
The team is managing many workstreams at once: cultivating relationships with ultra-high-net-worth donors, developing proposals and reports, planning events, coordinating with expert program teams to launch new funds, and working with grants and legal to structure how money moves.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Compensation: We anticipate total compensation for this role of $155,825 (including an unconditional 401(k) grant of $20,325).
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.

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.
