Requirements
• You might be a great fit for this role if you have: • A product-development mindset: You understand what makes products and programs compelling, and can design experiments with clear success criteria and make hard decisions based on data (qualitative and quantitative). • Impact focus: You are laser-focused on achieving exceptional levels of positive social impact through your work and the product, and have a strong understanding and appreciation for effective altruism principles. • Readiness to grow as a people manager: You are excited to manage and motivate at least one direct report. You have successfully led and developed team members and can deliver results through others, or if you haven't already led a team, you are ready and excited to start and to improve your management skills over time. • Strategic thinking: You have a track record of setting a clear vision, developing actionable strategies, and adapting plans based on new insights and evidence. • Execution velocity: You ship things. You don't just theorize about new offerings – you’re able to build and test them. You’re able to oversee the successful execution of our existing supports while actively exploring how to improve our portfolio. • Strong interpersonal skills: You can build relationships across cultures and engage with diverse stakeholders, and can apply this skillset both in high-level strategic discussions and practical project implementation. • (Bonus) Experience with EA groups or similar community-building: Ideally as a former group organizer. You understand the dynamics of working with community groups, have exposure to varying group needs, and can think through approaches and their trade-offs. Strong candidates without direct groups experience but with excellent instincts and fast learning ability will be considered. • We're also open to hiring at a more junior / individual contributor level for candidates with strong product instincts but with less experience overseeing a portfolio, or who aren’t interested in managing a small team. This version of the role would sit one grade lower on the compensation band, and potentially report to Joris Pijpers, Chief of Staff, Community Growth. • Other information • This is a full-time, remote position. We prefer applicants who are able to work in time zones between US Pacific Time and CET. • Start date: May 2026 • Reports to: Jessica McCurdy, Director of Community Growth
