Job Description:
• Build long-term, trust-based relationships with major donors that deepen donors’ understanding of GiveWell’s work.
• Proactively identify the insights, data points, and narratives from GiveWell’s research that are most relevant to major donor decision-making.
• Drive and lead team-wide initiatives and significant projects to make our work accessible, from learning journey design, playbooks, and systems to donor events and donor communications.
• Translate GiveWell’s research into original donor-facing content that makes our work accessible to analytically sophisticated, time-poor major donors.
• Serve as a strategic advisor to GiveWell’s leadership.
• Drive improvements to our philanthropy culture, systems, and processes to improve how our philanthropy function operates and scales.
Requirements:
• A track record of managing sophisticated, high-stakes relationships—whether with major donors, ultra-high-net-worth clients, foundation officers, board members, or similarly discerning stakeholders in another field entirely.
• Exceptional relationship management skills, with high emotional intelligence, an advisory mindset, and the ability to hold a large amount of context about a person and synthesize it in real time.
• Interest in global health and development, and the ability to engage in complex research and ideas even without prior experience in the sector.
• Excellent communication skills, written and verbal—clear, tailored, and credible messaging for discerning stakeholders, including comfort producing original written content.
• Leadership skills to partner with senior staff and influence across teams collaboratively.
• Strong operational expertise: leading cross-team projects, building scalable processes, and translating strategy into action.
• Strong alignment with GiveWell’s mission and values, including truth-seeking, transparency, humility, and long-term trust-building.
Benefits:
• Fully funded health, dental, vision, and life insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the US for you and any dependents)
• Four weeks of paid time off per year
• One week all-office closure
• 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave
• Ergonomic home workstations or coworking space memberships
• 403(b) retirement plan with a 5% match
