We're hiring a Director of Community Growth (or, for exceptionally qualified candidates, a Chief Community Growth Officer) to lead talent growth for the whole EA ecosystem by scaling four of CEA's flagship programs (Events, Groups, Online, and Courses) into their next era. This is one of the most important roles for EA’s future in the coming years – shaping the EA community and building the next generation of high-impact talent. Reporting to the CEO, you'll join CEA's senior leadership team and collaborate with teams across the organisation to help shape the future of CEA. We are open to hiring at the Director or Chief level. ABOUT CEA The Centre for Effective Altruism (CEA) stewards the movement of people putting effective altruism principles into practice to solve the world's most pressing problems. We’re working to build a flourishing future by applying evidence, reason, and compassion to challenges like global poverty, animal suffering, and risks from transformative AI. Our work centers on growing and supporting a global community of people who rigorously analyze where they can do the most good – and take action on those insights. Current strategic priorities include increasing understanding of effective altruism and its principles, growing the number of people who are motivated by EA principles to take significant action to address pressing problems, and diversifying funding sources for high-impact work. We had significant success in 2025, building momentum within CEA. Our headcount grew from 42 to 66 core staff.

In 2026, we’re maintaining ambitious momentum https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/Dy4iGHbAkKAQ4t2Dw/building-sustainable-momentum-progress-report-on-cea-s-2025 while building the foundations for a step-change in the wider EA ecosystem’s growth trajectory from 2027 onwards. We’re in the midst of the best fundraising year in CEA’s history (currently on track to raise $100M+) and are looking for the right talent to help us take advantage of the many opportunities in front of us. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a senior leader to own and grow one of CEA's highest-leverage engines for growth: Events, Groups, Online, and Courses, which will soon be united as one Community Growth Team. This role represents an opportunity to be a transformative leader at an inflection point for both CEA and the wider EA ecosystem: - For CEA: We’re in the midst of our best fundraising year ever, building off a year of accelerating growth. We reversed a slightly negative growth trend into 20–25% year-over-year growth across our programs in this portfolio in 2025, and we're now scaling from that momentum. Our headcount has approximately doubled over the past two years, and we’re looking to grow even faster.
