centreforeffectivealtruism - Senior Associate, EA Funds

• We're less focused on specific credentials and more on how you think and work. We expect strong candidates to have most of the following: • JUDGMENT AND OWNERSHIP • You take full ownership of your work: you follow through, close loops, and don't let things slip through cracks. • You exercise good judgment about when to act independently, when to escalate, and when to push back. • WRITTEN COMMUNICATION • You have strong writing skills, especially for professional correspondence and donor-facing materials. You should be able to draft a thoughtful email to a major donor or a compelling payout report with minimal guidance. • ORGANIZATION AND EXECUTION • You're highly organized and energized (not drained) by managing multiple workstreams, deadlines, and competing priorities across different team members. You should be the kind of person who sees a messy situation and instinctively starts structuring it. • You're reliable and proactive: you track commitments without being asked, surface problems early, and keep things moving. • You’re familiar with Airtable or would pick it up in a day. • You are a strong user of AI tools. • ANALYTICAL ABILITY • You can pull together data, make sense of it, and present it clearly, whether it's grantmaking metrics, donor data, or a quick benchmarking exercise. You don't need to be a data scientist, but you should be comfortable with spreadsheets and basic quantitative reasoning. • ALIGNMENT AND CONTEXT • You’re familiar with effective altruism and genuinely motivated to support EA Funds' mission. You don't need to be a longtime EA community member, but you should understand the core ideas and be excited about them. • You take pride in being the reason things run smoothly and you see the impact in what your work unlocks: the time you free up for grantmakers and leadership is time they spend getting funding to the projects that need it most. • You have discretion and maturity in handling sensitive information about donors, grants, and internal strategy. • Experience in executive support, operations, or a chief-of-staff-type role. • Experience in nonprofit grantmaking, philanthropy, or donor relations. • Familiarity with the EA ecosystem, key organizations, and cause areas. • OTHER INFORMATION • This is a full-time, remote position. The majority of the EA Funds team is currently Central European Time (CET), with some additional team members in different US timezones. Applicants should be able to have work hours between Eastern Time (ET) and CET. We have an office in Oxford, UK, that you would have access to if based there. • Start date: August 2026. • Reports to: Loic Watine, Director of EA Funds
