Additional Information
At Coefficient Giving, our ambitious grantmaking depends on a high-performing operations team. We are seeking exceptional Business Operations team members to support and improve the running of our organization. These roles require you to work full-time from one of our offices in either San Francisco or Washington, D.C. We'll support candidates who are not already based in these areas with relocation costs. Our immediate hiring priorities are an SF-based Coordinator and a DC-based Associate, though we'll consider strong candidates in either location. About Coefficient Giving Coefficient Giving 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 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 Business Operations Team Coefficient Giving's impact would not be possible without our outstanding Business Operations team, whose goal is to help the organization run as smoothly and effectively as possible by providing excellent support to our staff, grantees, and collaborators. We're hiring across two tracks (Coordinator and Associate) with different areas of focus. As a Coordinator, your work would focus on: Ensuring Coefficient Giving has productive, professional, and welcoming office spaces. This includes managing and improving our San Francisco and Washington, D.C. offices, greeting visitors, providing in-person support and reception, managing external contractors, and troubleshooting hardware. You'd set and maintain the quality standard for the physical environment, regularly auditing the space to catch issues before others notice them, and building the systems (like feedback trackers, vendor management processes, and improvement roadmaps) that keep things getting better over time. Taking on projects that improve how our offices work. This might include implementing new visitor management tools, upgrading conference room setups, or leading an office redesign. Serving as a frontline resource for staff. You'd triage incoming requests across the organization, from facilities issues to general operations questions, and make sure people find the right answer quickly. Executing events. You'd collaborate with our People Operations team and other Business Operations teammates to organize and support large team convenings, our annual org-wide retreat, and external events coordinated with our Partnerships team. Providing executive assistance. You'd support directors and senior executives with logistics, calendar management, triaging tasks, communication, and general administration. As an Associate, your work would focus on: Making Coefficient Giving more efficient and effective. Investigating and implementing scalable solutions to common problems (e.g. identifying software to facilitate booking meetings, or supporting the optimization of our new staff onboarding flow). Leading or supporting strategic projects. This might include managing and improving our Notion-based knowledge management system, assessing office and space needs as our headcount grows in SF and D.C. (and potentially project-managing a move), and redesigning internal workflows to be more efficient and robust as the organization scales. Partnering with other Operations teams to support high-priority initiatives that need extra capacity. This could look like running org-wide surveys and synthesizing the results, or working in Airtable to track grantmaking applicants. Supporting staff and program teams. You'd directly support staff with administrative tasks and support our program teams (e.g. with cleaning up data or notes from grantee calls, light research and data analysis, organizing files, and helping with logistics). Acting as a resource for Coordinators. You'd support them with managing our physical spaces and day-to-day operations, helping to problem-solve and improve their systems wh
