Senior Operations Associate, Office of the CEO

Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is a philanthropic funder and advisor. Since 2014 weve 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 AI Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness Abundance & Growth Farm Animal Welfare and more. In 2025 we recommended more than $1 billion to high-impact causes.

Were proud of our track record:

• 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 grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100000 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.

Our CEO Alexander Berger is responsible for advancing CGs overall mission. This includes:

• Setting high-level organization priorities

• Owning key external relationships including our work with Good Ventures (our founding partner) and other major donors

• Hiring for senior roles and supporting the rest of the leadership team

• External and internal communications about CGs culture and impact

This is a high-trust high-leverage role at a very exciting time for one of the worlds largest philanthropies.

The right person in this role will multiply how much Alexander and by extension all of CG can get done.
