GiveWell is a research organization that identifies and funds cost-effective giving opportunities, focusing on global health and well-being. Our work is funded by tens of thousands of donors who rely on our research to inform their giving. Weâve grown from directing $1.5 million in 2010 to directing nearly $400 million in 2024.
The Role
Weâre hiring a Development Coordinator to serve as the operational backbone of GiveWellâs Philanthropy team. This person will be the engine that keeps our logistics running smoothly â ensuring donors receive timely, accurate, and warm responses, and operating the systems that allow fundraisers to spend more time in front of donors. Youâll be the âfront doorâ to GiveWell for donors and prospects, managing inbound communications across our main inboxes.
In this role, youâll coordinate administrative needs across the Philanthropy team and maintain the systems and processes that support our donor relationships. Youâll work closely with fundraisers, operations partners, and other internal teams to keep workflows organized, ensure logistical needs are handled reliably, and resolve inquiries with clarity and professionalism. Youâll also help us evolve our team operations as we grow â proactively spotting bottlenecks and implementing improvements that strengthen our ability to scale high-quality donor stewardship.
This role is ideal for someone who loves bringing order to complexity, thrives on enabling the success of others, and is energized by serving as a steady operational anchor in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
Why we're hiring this role right now: As our fundraising team expands, the volume and complexity of donor interactions have outpaced the operational support we currently have in place.
