Additional Information
About Coefficient Giving 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 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 Roles The IT team sits within Operations and is managed by our IT Lead, Luke Willey . We are hiring three new team members to maintain our IT infrastructure, provide technical support, and ensure the smooth operation of our internal helpdesk. Coefficient Giving's tech ecosystem is wonderfully broad, flexible, and ever-expanding. While expertise in specific technologies or platforms is welcomed, these roles require highly versatile IT professionals with a proactive approach, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fully remote, macOS environment. We expect to make two hires at the IT Associate level and one hire at the Senior IT Associate level. Candidates for either level are encouraged to apply to this opening; prior experience and performance in our evaluation process will inform which level is the best fit. Both the IT Associate and the Senior IT Associate will own a combination of core IT functions and special projects, spending roughly half their time in each area. The Senior IT Associate may also manage 2-3 direct reports and assume ownership of key IT workstreams. In either role, your portfolio will be shaped by your unique strengths and expertise, though we expect all successful candidates to be comfortable continuously learning new technologies. Core IT responsibilities include: Helpdesk administration - Provide technical support to staff, resolving IT issues promptly and efficiently to ensure smooth day-to-day operations. Infrastructure maintenance - Maintain our IT infrastructure in a fully macOS environment, ensuring the stability and reliability of our systems. Security - Implement and maintain security measures to protect organizational data and systems, including device management and cloud security, to safeguard our digital assets. Device management - Manage organization-owned Mac laptops, enforce MDM policies, and oversee mobile device management to ensure all devices are secure and functioning properly. Tech enablement - Identify and implement productivity-enhancing technologies to support organizational efficiency while maintaining security standards. Vendor coordination - Work with external vendors and consultants to manage projects and ensure the delivery of high-quality IT services and solutions. Documentation - Maintain accurate records of IT systems, configurations, and procedures to support efficient operations and continuity. IT special projects vary significantly in scope and subject, but may include: Security tooling/incident response - Take a security tool from evaluation > purchase > implementation > documentation > steady-state. Business app building and workflow migration - Gather requirements from non-technical teams, design a workable data model, implement automations and integrations, and then ship iteratively to support ongoing operations. Help teams identify opportunities to leverage AI tools for efficiency gains within the new workflow. End-user services, procurement, and onboarding improvements - Through ticket resolution and onboarding work, proactively identify frictions and opportunities to improve overall throughput and quality. Managing infrastructure - Spin up new domains and Google Cloud projects and connect tools securely to enable new workflows and processes. Who might be a good fit You might be a great fit for this work if you: Have a track record of owning projects and proactively getting them over the finish line. Are intensely detail-oriented; you can confidently track and update system configurations without making mistakes. Are cheerful and patient while helping others
