GiveWell’s mission is to help people in need as much as we can by researching the most cost-effective ways to save and improve lives, sharing our work openly, and directing donations to the programs we believe will do the most good. Our work focuses on global health and well-being, funded by tens of thousands of donors who rely on our research to inform their giving. We have grown from directing $1.5 million in 2010 to more than $400 million in 2025, with anticipated grantmaking likely to approach or exceed $1 billion this year, aiming for a future with even greater scale. We have been expanding our research capacity and scope to direct substantially more funding to the most impactful opportunities. The Senior Communications Officer, Strategic Communications will lead GiveWell’s development of messaging and narratives that explain its work across different audiences and contexts.

This position reports to the Vice President of Communications, Steven Profaizer, and will lead a small and growing team. It is one of three new communications leadership roles, alongside Senior Communications Officer, Media & Public Affairs and Senior Communications Officer, Editorial & Production.
