Operations Coordinator/Associate in San Francisco or Washington D.C.

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.

We review applications on a rolling basis and are actively hiring. We're looking to make at least two hires by mid-year, so applying sooner works in your favor. We prioritize based on application strength and our evolving hiring needs — strong applicants who apply early will be considered first.

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.

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.

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:

If you lack U.S. work authorization, please submit a general application instead. Similarly, if you are only interested in senior/management roles, or roles in research or grantmaking, please apply through the general application.

Benefits: Our benefits package includes:

• Excellent health insurance (we cover 100% of premiums within the U.S. for you and any eligible dependents) and an employer-funded Health Reimbursement Arrangement for certain other personal health expenses

• Dental, vision, and life insurance for you and your family

• Four weeks of PTO recommended per year

• Four months of fully paid family leave

• A generous and flexible expense policy — we encourage staff to expense the ergonomic equipment, software, and other services that they need to stay healthy and productive

• A continual learning policy that encourages staff to spend time on professional development with related expenses covered

• We can’t always provide every benefit we offer U.S. staff to international hires, but we’re working on it (and will usually provide cash equivalents of any benefits we can’t offer in your country)

We aim to employ people with diverse experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds who share our passion for accomplishing as much good as we can.

We are committed to creating an environment where all employees have the opportunity to succeed, and we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected status.

U.S.-based Operations staff are typically employed by Coefficient Giving LLC, which is not a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. As such, this role is unlikely to be eligible for public service loan forgiveness programs.

We may use AI to assist in the initial screening of applications, including to detect whether candidates have used AI models in drafting their application. Decisions are always made by a human on our team.
