About Coefficient Giving

Coefficient Giving (formerly Open Philanthropy) is a philanthropic funder and advisor. 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, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness, Abundance & Growth, Farm Animal Welfare, and more.

We’re proud of our track record:

• We jump-started the field of AI safety and security and have played a vital role in addressing other existential threats, such as mirror bacteria.

• Our grants to evidence-backed global health programs have saved over 100,000 lives, and our farm animal welfare grants have improved the lives of over 3 billion animals.

• We supported late-stage clinical trials for the R21 malaria vaccine, now being scaled to protect millions of kids globally.

• We were the earliest major funder of the YIMBY movement to build more housing. Our grantees have led the charge on major wins like City of Yes in New York, and SB 79 in California, which will enable hundreds of thousands of new housing units.

Since 2014, we’ve directed over $7 billion in grants as part of our mission to help others as much as we can with the resources available to us. It's also a pivotal moment for Coefficient Giving: we gave around $1 billion last year, and are on track to more than double our giving this year.

We're significantly scaling our grantmaking and rapidly growing our team to support it, in part because we expect to see large increases in philanthropic funding flowing into the fields where we work in the coming years. Accelerating now lets us fill cost-effective gaps today, and helps lay the groundwork for new donors to step in as well.

Growth at this pace means the work is fast, ambiguous, and often messy: we need to make big decisions, pivot quickly, and make trade-offs. We think this is a uniquely high-leverage moment, and we're looking for people who find that energizing.

Our Salesforce team builds and maintains the systems that power CG's grantmaking and partnerships operations. Salesforce is our system of record, but it sits within a broader ecosystem of tools — such as Airtable, data pipelines, form tools like Form Assembly and Fillout, and integrations like Ironclad — that together support how grants move from decision through payment. Our org supports over 230 active users, including CG staff and external users.

While our record volume is relatively low, our work tends to be high-touch and high-complexity, with heavy customization and a deliberately code-first build. The Salesforce team acts as internal consultants to many teams  care about understanding the problem as much as we do building the solution, and we're always looking for ways to remove friction, improve data quality, and make our systems more useful to the people who rely on them.

This role involves two primary responsibilities:
1) developing a deep understanding of what CG's stakeholders need, and
2) building it in Salesforce. On the “Administrator” side, you’d own a meaningful share of our incoming ticket triage rotation and make hands‑on declarative updates in Salesforce, working closely with our team. On the “Business Analyst” side, you’d own intake, discovery, and requirements work so that projects have build-ready requirements and get shipped faster. Requests increasingly span Salesforce, other tools like Airtable and Slack, Claude‑powered workflows, and manual processes, and you’d help gather requirements for workflows that involve many tools, with a strong understanding of how changes in one may affect connecting workflows.
