[Question] Who’s hiring? (Feb-May 2024)

Important note: This post is no longer highlighted on the front page. If you are looking to hire via the EA Forum, consider writing a post giving information about the role. If you are an organisation hiring for several roles, consider hosting an AMA. Contact me if you have any questions about this.


Use this thread to share information about EA-related roles you are looking to fill!

We’d like to help applicants and hiring managers coordinate, so we’ve set up this thread, and another called Who wants to be hired? (we did this last in 2022[1]).

To add your information, click “new answer.” Feel free to use this template/​example[2], or format as you wish. However, please prioritise including:

  • Salary range

  • Location/​ timezone (and whether the job is in-person/​remote/​hybrid)

  • An application link, and a deadline (if you have one)

  • A brief description of your organisation.

    • If your org is a household name on the Forum, this is less relevant. If it isn’t, then please explain, don’t sell (see guidelines).

If you have any feedback on these threads, please DM me or comment below.

Job boards & other resources

If you want to explore EA jobs, check out the related Who wants to be hired? thread, or the resources below:

  1. The 80,000 Hours Job Board compiles a huge amount of open roles; there are over 800 jobs listed right now.

    1. You can filter to exclude “career development” roles, set up alerts for roles matching your preferred criteria, and browse roles by organisation or “collection.”

  2. The “Job listing (open)” page is a place to explore positions people have shared or discussed on the EA Forum (see also opportunities to take action).

  3. The EA Opportunity Board collects internships, volunteer opportunities, conferences, and more — including part-time and entry-level job opportunities.

Other resources include Probably Good’s list of impact-focused job boards, the EA job postings and EA volunteering Facebook groups, and these lists of project ideas you might be able to work on independently. (If you have other suggestions for what I should include here, please comment on this post or send me a DM!)

    Suggested template (optional):

    [1-line description of the job(s) that includes your organisation’s name.]

    Salary: [List the (annual) salary range and a currency, and clarify if it’s a part-time role]

    Location: [Describe where the job is located. Share if it’s hybrid/​remote, or if there are requirements about being available at certain times/​timezones.]

    Application: [Link to the application and the deadline — date and time (including time zone).]

    Suggested skills and/​or requirements: [Brief outline of what skills/​experience you’re looking for. It’s worth clarifying if you’re listing some skill/​experience which is good evidence of fit, but not required. This is more optional than the rest — consider just skipping this.]

    Other notes about the position and [your organisation]: [Link to a page or post that shares more information about this role. You could also share more about its responsibilities and/​or a note about why you think it’s an impactful role. Unless your organisation is a household name on the EA Forum, consider sharing a bit about what your organisation does and why, more about its track record, or perhaps a bit about your personal experience working at this organization. However, try not to “sell” things — see some tips/​guidelines here.]

    Example of this template being used:

    This is a fictional example! Links all just go to CEA’s website and are used to illustrate where we’d put real links.

    The Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA) is looking for a (Lead) Video Producer to create and improve (online, general-audience) content related to effective altruism.

    Salary: $50,000-90,000/​£40,000–£80,000, depending on seniority and location

    Location: Remote or in Oxford/​Boston/​Bay Area (in shared office spaces). There might be team meetings between 5 and 7 PM UK Time, so we prefer applicants who are able to work in a timezone that allows that.

    Apply here: Apply by 15 July, 2028

    Suggested skills and/​or requirements: You’ll be making videos highlighting important EA concepts, news, etc., and adapting existing content into shorter video form. So useful skills include:

    - Experience making or editing videos (of any kind)

    - Writing skills

    - Basic understanding of key EA cause areas and ideas (ideally some engagement with the EA community)

    Nice-to-haves include experience directing creative projects, research communication experience, science/​data illustration experience, and/​or social media experience, but don’t hesitate to apply if you don’t have this background. We’re open to hiring for more and less senior versions of this role.

    About CEA: CEA’s goal is nurturing and developing the EA movement; CEA runs this forum, the EA Global conference series, resources for EA groups, and more. You can see more about CEA on our website or here. I’ve worked at CEA for 17 years now — feel free to reach out if you have questions (DM me on the Forum).

    More about this position: We’re expecting to have a hard time hiring for this role — please apply if you’re not sure, and share the role with people who might be interested! See more here.
