Program Officer / Senior Program Officer, Health Aid Transition

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 Global Aid Policy, Global Growth, 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.

Because of aid cuts from the largest donor countries, global health assistance is expected to face an unprecedented contraction over the coming years, with a projected 27% decline by 2030 compared to 2024. The United States, historically the largest global health funder, cut funding for HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and child health, and nutrition programs in 2025.

Alongside declining funding, there are also changes in how health services will be delivered. Donor-country policy changes – including the America First Global Health Strategy – put partner governments at the forefront of health service delivery, which may result in greater integration of disease-specific service delivery, changes to supply chains, and absorption of donor-funded human resources for health.

This combination will place significant pressure on the health systems of low- and middle-income countries, and could be a genuine inflection point in global health. We want to protect people who face significant shortfalls in their medical care, while also seizing the opportunity for reform to strengthen national health planning and build new, more cost-effective health systems.

We have made $14 million in related grants in the past year, including grants co-funded with GiveWell to CHAI and PATH. Though the new hire will have significant scope to shape our work on this front, we expect our grantmaking will work toward four goals:

• The baseline compensation for the Program Officer role is $196,000.00, which would be distributed as a base salary of $171,500.00 and an unconditional 401(k) grant of $24,500.00 for U.S. hires.

• The baseline compensation for the Senior Program Officer role is $223,500, distributed as a base salary of $199,000.00 and an unconditional 401(k) grant of $24,500.00 for U.S. hires.

• All compensation will be distributed in the form of take-home salary for internationally-based hires.

• These compensation figures assume a remote location; there would be geographic adjustments upwards for candidates who are based in the San Francisco Bay Area or Washington, D.C., and are willing to work from our local office approximately two days per week or more.

• There would also be an adjustment upwards for candidates based in New York who are willing to work from our coworking hub in Manhattan at least one day per week.
