GiveWell Hiring: Operations Round

By GiveWell @ 2026-08-04T13:41 (+7)

We're hiring across GiveWell's Operations team—with openings in Grants Administration, People Operations, Talent Acquisition, Technology, AI Enablement, and Executive Support. It's a single application, and you can indicate interest in more than one role.

In the last 18 months, GiveWell has grown faster than even our most ambitious projections, and we expect that growth to continue. Our Operations scaffolding needs to scale as well to support GiveWell today, and to build a resilient, adaptable foundation for the future. We have a particular need for early- to mid-career staff across most Operations functions, and we're excited to hear from a broad pool of applicants—both Ops generalists and subject matter specialists—who can bring their experience, skills, and passion to support and improve the way that GiveWell operates. 

Open roles:

• Grants Administration (Associates and Senior Associates) — up to three hires
• People Operations (Coordinators and Specialists) — up to three hires
• Talent Acquisition (Coordinators) — up to two hires
• Technology (Coordinator and Specialist)
• AI Enablement (Specialist)
• Associate, Office of the CEO
• Chief of Staff, Office of the COO

Details:

• Coordinators: $92,000 (NYC/SF Bay Area) | $83,500 (all other US locations)
• Specialists/Associates: $113,000 (NYC/SF Bay Area) | $102,500 (all other US locations)
• Senior Specialists/Associates: $135,500 (NYC/SF Bay Area) | $123,000 (all other US locations)
• Remote-friendly, US only. Offices available but not required in Oakland, CA and Brooklyn, NY.
  • For the Chief of Staff to the COO, some preference will be given for candidates who are willing to work in person in our Oakland office 1–2 days per week; relocation support may be available.
• Fully funded health, dental, vision, and life insurance (100% of premiums for you and dependents), four weeks PTO plus an annual summer break, 16 weeks fully paid parental leave, 403(b) with automatic 5% employer contribution, ergonomic home workstation or coworking membership.
• Visit Weeks twice a year in our Oakland office, plus up to two annual departmental retreats.
• Application deadline: September 7, 2026. You'll hear your status within two weeks of that date, and most likely sooner.

Process: Apply (no cover letter needed) → a 120-minute work trial assessing how you reason through a complex task → an initial screen with our Talent Acquisition team. From there, each role has two to three additional stages—a mix of interviews and work trials—followed by reference checks. We'll tell you which track you're on after the first couple of stages.
