Partnerships Operations Lead

Coefficient Giving is hiring our first Partnerships Operations Lead to build the infrastructure needed to support our growing portfolio of donor relationships. We believe the next few years represent a unique opportunity to significantly scale philanthropic funding across our cause areas. The Operations Lead will build and manage the systems we need to unlock our potential and deliver excellence to our stakeholders.

We’re also looking for an Associate to join our growing Partnerships team. 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 who are 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.

The team is managing many workstreams at once: cultivating relationships with ultra-high-net-worth donors, developing proposals and reports, planning events, coordinating with expert program teams to launch new funds, and working with grants and legal to structure how money moves.

We’re hiring an Operations Lead to build and maintain the operational infrastructure behind our ambitious Partnerships team. We’re helping direct hundreds of millions of dollars to the world’s most important problems, and we’re growing quickly. But many of our systems and processes are at version 1.0. Your job is to change that.

You’ll be a key member of Partnerships, designing systems that make the team more efficient and effective. You’ll be the primary liaison between Partnerships and internal teams including Legal, Grants, Salesforce, and Finance. You’ll own key workflows — donor vetting, fund allocation, deal flow, donor privacy, communications triage — and bring structure to processes that are currently ad hoc or living in people’s heads. By creating a clear operational foundation for the team, you will enable us to run faster and support more donors.

This role reports to Liz Givens, Director of Partnerships, and will partner closely with other team members to ensure that all of our business requirements are reflected in our systems.
