Business Immigration Associate

Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is looking for a skilled business immigration professional to join our Business Immigration team. As our staff and grantmaking continue to expand globally alongside ever-changing U.S. immigration policy, supporting our staff through visa and green card processes has never been more important to our mission. This hire will own day-to-day U.S. immigration casework and help the team build a more resilient, scalable immigration function.

Coefficient Giving is a philanthropic funder and advisor. Since 2014, we've directed over $6 billion in grants as part of our mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. It's also a pivotal moment for Coefficient Giving: we gave around $1 billion last year, and are on track to more than double our giving this year. 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.

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.

The Business Immigration team makes it possible for CG to hire the best person for a role by securing and maintaining the U.S. work authorization they need.

The Business Immigration team sits within our Global Employment team, which determines how Coefficient Giving employs people around the world: what we pay, what benefits we offer, and what work authorization we can support to make it possible.

Those questions are upstream of almost everything else we do. CG's impact depends on getting excellent people working on important problems, and the size of the pool we can draw from is set by our ability to hire compliantly across more than a dozen different jurisdictions and offer competitive compensation and benefits in each. Every constraint we resolve is a candidate we can say yes to.

CG’s projected growth, combined with a fast-shifting U.S. policy environment, means our work is often urgent and rarely routine. Our long-term vision is to keep building the infrastructure and capacity to support our staff while maintaining high standards for service and implementing systems improvements.

This role will primarily focus on providing high-quality service to our team members through ownership of day-to-day casework. You may also contribute to ongoing systems and process improvement and refining our immigration approach, vision, and goals. This role is central to making the whole Business Immigration function more resilient, and there's meaningful room to shape it as it grows.

Your core responsibilities would include:

U.S.-based 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. If you have any questions about our use of AI tools, you can email jobs@coefficientgiving.org.
