Responsibilities

  • 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.

  • Exceptional relationship management skills with high emotional intelligence and advisory mindset.
  • Interest in global health and development and ability to engage in complex research and ideas even without prior sector experience.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce original content for discerning stakeholders.
  • Leadership skills to partner with senior staff and influence across teams.
  • Strong operational expertise: leading cross-team projects, scalable processes, and translating strategy into action.
  • Strong alignment with GiveWell’s mission and values (truth-seeking, transparency, humility, long-term trust-building).
