Thanks for writing this, Dom. I constantly hear that mid to senior career professionals are a bottleneck for the community. As far as I know, 80k does some AI powered job-matchmaking, but it would be really good if you could also do this, or have your group share their information with 80k, such as by filling out this census. (Maybe check with them first about what is the best way to get these people on their radar, though.)
I also wanted to offer a word of caution. For most roles, connecting a competent professional to a job listing won’t be sufficient. I have written on the importance of what I call “context” here. Your people will need to upskill on EA causes and network at EAGs in order to qualitfy for these roles. Orgs are not despeate for experienced professionals, they are desperate for high-context experienced professionals (especially in leadership roles).
I would also recommend sending them to take peer-led, high-absorption courses, such as CEA’s virtual program, Bluedot’s courses, AIS Collab’s Atlas fellowship, or Scaling Altruism’s career planning program. (I asked the last to to send you their EOIs). These are a good entry step that allows people to start building context.
There are many EA groups that your members could turn to in order to connect with the local community.
