Applications for this position must be received no later than Friday, April 12th 2024, EOD. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis.

The Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA) is looking to make a recruiting hire to expand our in-house recruiting function and help us attract top talent. We’re ideally looking for someone with professional experience in relevant domains, but we’re also open to hiring for a more junior version of this role—hence why the title of this role is variable. In all cases, this person would start off as the only staff member 100% staffed to recruiting, and they would have significant opportunities to shape and contribute to CEA’s recruiting function.

We’re the largest and primary organisation working on meta-level effective altruism with an established track record of delivering highly impactful programs. We have a budget of about $30 million but a relatively lean team of around 40 staff; CEA team members have high levels of responsibility, and finding high performing talent is essential to our continued success. The importance of recruiting is being heightened, as the team is entering a new era as we take on a new CEO and begin the process of spinning out from Effective Ventures to become an independent organisation. This means that in addition to our pre-existing recruiting needs, our spin out will create increased demand as we move various operations functions in-house (such as finance, payroll, and legal). We’re entering one of the largest hiring bursts in CEA’s history, and the person in this role will play a key role in ensuring we’re able to find and attract the top talent we need to be successful in our mission.
