Multiple roles, U.S. AI Policy and Public Policy

U.S. AI Policy is a new team at Coefficient Giving built under Caleb Watney, our managing director of Public Policy. Our goal is to lay the groundwork for thoughtful U.S. governance of AI by building institutional capacity, supporting durable cross-partisan coalitions, and strengthening the organizations best positioned to shape how this technology develops. We’re hiring for a founding team to significantly expand our ambition and meet the moment.

We expect that new AI policy grantmakers at CG will allocate tens of millions of dollars a year to high-impact organizations, and will have substantial counterfactual impact by helping to seed organizations and sub-fields that wouldn't otherwise exist, driving priority special projects that wouldn't otherwise happen, and helping impactful organizations scale ambitiously. In addition to growing our team, we're streamlining our internal processes so that each team member can move with substantially more speed, ambition, and urgency.

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 AI, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness, Abundance & Growth, Farm Animal Welfare, and more. In 2025, we recommended more than $1 billion to high-impact causes.

We’re proud of our track record:

• 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 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're hiring for multiple roles on our U.S. AI Policy team and one Chief of Staff on the Public Policy team. Exact titles may be adjusted depending on the seniority and portfolio of the candidate.

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.
