GiveWell’s CEA was produced by multiple people over multiple years—we wouldn’t expect a single person to generate the whole thing :)
I do think you should probably be able to imagine yourself engaging in a discussion over some particular parameter or aspect of GiveWell’s CEA, and trying to improve that parameter or aspect to better capture what we care about (good accomplished per dollar). Quantitative aptitude is not a hard requirement for this position (there are some ways the role could evolve that would not require it), but it’s a major plus.
