We recognise that not every candidate will have every quality listed and are committed to providing training and support. We are also somewhat open to negotiating the responsibilities to best fit the right candidate, aiming for the most beneficial outcome as our team grows.
Our salary calculator gives an approximate range of USD $55,000 — USD $70,000, depending on experience, seniority, and location (read more about how we think about compensation here). We have a preference for full-time but are open to other arrangements.
The role is fully remote and will involve extensive travel. We have a preference for someone based in or easily able to travel to a major airport to reduce the costs associated with travel.
Benefits may vary slightly by location but typically include:
We are particularly interested in candidates who can start soon.
Giving What We Can (GWWC) is working towards a world without preventable suffering or existential risk, where everyone is able to flourish. We do this by making giving effectively and significantly a norm among those who can.
Founded in 2009, we are best known for the 🔸10% Pledge, where nearly 10,000 people have committed to donating at least 10% of their lifetime income to highly effective charities. These 10% Pledgers and our broader community of pledgers are currently giving $30M+ USD to high-impact charities each year, of which $10M+ is donated through Giving What We Can’s own donation platform, and granted onwards to our supported programs (in total, we move ~$30M USD through our platform each year, including from non-pledge donors).
We are setting ourselves a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) of 1 million pledgers donating $3B USD to high-impact charities annually. This would be roughly equivalent to 100x GWWC’s current scale. It could be achieved by 1% of the world’s richest 1% pledging and giving effectively and significantly. It would imply the equivalent of nearly 1 million lives being saved every year.
The current ~10 FTE global team is hardworking and mission-focused, with a strong commitment to both our team values and community values. In 2024, we launched a rebranded 10% Pledge and spun out from Effective Ventures to become our own legal entities in the US, UK and Canada. In 2025, we will start reaching new audiences and lay the organizational foundations for scale that will ultimately help us achieve our BHAG.
We are an equal opportunity organisation and value diversity at our organisation. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status. We are happy to make any reasonable accommodations necessary to welcome all to our organisation.
