We’re hiring a Senior Editor to help us share our work with the world through clear, compelling content across our website, blog, newsletter, social media, and more. We’re looking for someone who combines strong editorial judgment with excellent writing and editing skills — someone who can translate complex topics for mainstream audiences while maintaining our commitment to rigor and reasoning transparency.

The Final date to receive applications for the role is January 17, 2026

Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is a philanthropic funder and advisor. Since 2014, we’ve directed over $4 billion in grants as part of our mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. We work with a range of donors who share our commitment to cost-effective, high-impact giving. Our current funds include Science and Global Health R&D, Navigating Transformative AI, Abundance & Growth, Farm Animal Welfare, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness, and more.

In 2025, we recommended more than $900 million to high-impact causes.

We’re at a pivotal stage in our organization’s growth, with increasing public attention on our work. We believe that excellent communications can greatly enhance the impact of our grantmaking.

One of our top communications priorities for 2026 is to increase the volume, quality, and accessibility of what we publish. This role is designed for an experienced editor who loves shaping ideas and supporting the production of high-quality pieces that resonate with our key audiences We’re open to hiring at a more senior level for candidates with exceptional experience, particularly those who could take on strategic leadership or team management responsibilities.

This role will report to Naina Bajekal, the Director of Communications.

Responsibilities may include:

• Shaping content and communications strategy. You’ll help develop our broader approach to content publication, social media, and external communications. This could include leading initiatives and developing new formats to reach different audiences (e.g. newsletter products, podcasts, explainer videos).

• Editing, shaping, and polishing content across formats. You’ll work with program teams and leadership to translate complex topics — like AI safety, global health, scientific research, and biosecurity — for curious non-expert audiences. This includes providing both developmental and line-level feedback on grantee spotlights, annual reviews, high-visibility articles, essays, talks, and other formats — with particular attention to structure, tone, and sensitive content.

• Working with Naina and other senior staff on high-priority messaging challenges and providing feedback on cross-organizational communications (e.g. donor-facing updates, FAQs, and sensitive statements).

• Maintaining editorial standards and team workflows. You’ll collaborate with our small but growing team to improve our style guidance, processes, and cross-team coordination. For candidates with relevant experience, this could include managing other communications staff.

• Supporting other communications initiatives as needed, such as website updates, media relations, social media content, improving internal communications, evaluating PR risks, or other work to support our grantmaking.

The exact scope of this role will evolve based on organizational needs and your strengths and interests.

We’re looking for someone with at least 7 years of professional experience in writing, editing, journalism, or digital communications. You should have strong judgment, excellent strategic thinking, and meticulous line-editing skills. Design, video, or data visualization skills are a bonus but not required.

You might be a great fit for this work if you:

• Have strong writing and editing skills. You can absorb complex information quickly and reframe it clearly for different audiences. You have strong editorial judgment and can spot when something needs work, whether it’s the tone of a social media post or a claim that needs better sourcing.

• Can adapt…
