Partnerships Associate

Coefficient Giving is hiring a Partnerships Associate to support work with our growing list of donors. We believe the next few years represent a unique opportunity to significantly scale philanthropic funding across our cause areas, and the Partnerships Associate will play a vital role in making that happen. This is a generalist role — you will support donor outreach, run events, and create materials that help philanthropists connect with our highest-impact funding opportunities.

We’re also looking for a Partnerships Operations Lead. If that sounds more like you, we encourage you to take a look at the job description.

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 the 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.

Our Partnerships function launched in 2024, leveraging our internal research and grantmaking expertise to direct donors to the highest-impact funding opportunities available. In 2025, Partnerships helped direct more than $200 million to high-impact causes outside our core relationship with Good Ventures. We see the coming years as a unique opportunity to be even more ambitious in scaling this work.

The Partnerships team builds relationships with philanthropists interested in cost-effective giving within global health, global catastrophic risks, and/or farm animal welfare. In addition to matching donors with the most promising funding opportunities across our portfolios, we are building an advisory practice to offer bespoke support to emerging philanthropists seeking a more comprehensive strategy.

Day to day, the team manages many workstreams at once: it cultivates relationships with ultra-high-net-worth donors, develops proposals and reports, plans events, coordinates with expert program teams to launch new funds, and works with grants and legal to structure how money moves.

Your job is to help the Partnerships team connect with donors and communicate our work. You’ll provide direct support to senior team members with donor outreach, serve as the Partnerships lead and coordinate with Operations to produce donor events, and collaborate with Communications on donor-facing materials. This role sits at the center of how we engage with donors and, because we are a small, growing team, you’ll get to shape how that work evolves. This team moves quickly and prioritizes speed and responsiveness. On any given day, your priorities may shift without warning. We're looking for someone who finds that energizing, not destabilizing.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to build skills in donor engagement and philanthropic communications while contributing to high-impact work. You will have a wide portfolio that provides an inside view of the front lines of sophisticated donor cultivation and stewardship. The role reports to Liz Givens, Director of Partnerships.
