Participant Support Advisor

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 existential risks. 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. Program participation (e.g., events, courses, groups) grew by 20-25% year over year. We merged with EA Funds and are rapidly scaling up our capacity for grantmaking and associated fundraising: our first Fund staffed with full-time employees (EA Animal Welfare Fund) raised almost as much as the previous three years combined. In 2026, we’re maintaining ambitious momentum while building the foundations for a step-change in the wider EA ecosystem’s growth trajectory from 2027 onwards. ABOUT THE TEAM The Courses Team runs online programmes that inspire and empower talented people to explore the best ways that they can help others. We provide structured guidance, information, and support to help them take tailored next steps that set them up for high impact. As part of this team, the Career Bootcamp is a free, 4-day online program that helps accomplished professionals identify high-impact career opportunities, develop actionable career plans, and take concrete steps toward impactful career transitions. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Career Bootcamp Lead to lead the strategy, execution, and growth of CEA's Career Bootcamp. You will take ownership of a program that helps accomplished professionals identify high-impact career opportunities, receive feedback on their plans, and take concrete steps toward career pivots that address the world's most pressing problems. You will build on a strong foundation. The bootcamp was developed in 2025 through extensive user research, piloting, and rapid iteration, aiming for genuine product-market fit before investing in scale. We ran 6 cohorts with 137 graduates in our first year. Our initial public launch drew 713 applications without any paid marketing, exceeding benchmarks from comparable programs (which typically receive 100–500), and our most recent launch drew another 1,818 applications. Likelihood to recommend has ranged from 7.9 to 9.1 out of 10, and graduates have gone on to work at high-impact organisations including Secure Bio, the Centre for the Governance of AI, Coefficient Giving, New Roots Institute, the Centre for Effective Altruism, and Probably Good, as well as founding their own new nonprofits. You will lead the next stage of the bootcamp's growth as it transitions from discovery to scale. We are actively testing paid advertising, sponsorships, and partnership channels to reach accomplished professionals beyond the existing EA community, while expanding delivery through contract advisors to support larger cohorts. The format is inherently scalable, requiring less staff time per participant and fewer logistical bottlenecks than most alternatives. Our goal is to more than double the number of bootcamp graduates in 2026 while laying the groundwork for much more ambitious growth in 2027. You will have the autonomy to answer some of the most important questions about how the bootcamp can achieve highly cost-effective impact at scale. Which audiences should we prioritize, and how do we reach them? Which formats and features drive the strongest outcomes? How do we improve product-market fit and success at every stage of the theory of change—from first hearing about the bootcamp to landing a high-impact role? These are open questions with many promising directions to explore, and you'll have the autonomy to make the calls. You will inherit a working program with existing content, infrastructure, and a growing body of evidence about what's working and what isn't. Your job is to use that foundation to scale the product and grow its positive impact, iterating on the bootcamp itself (content, format, features, audience) while testing and refining the marketing channels that will drive sustainable growth. You will combine product thinking with hands-on execution, making strategic decisions about what to focus on and what to drop before designing experiments, editing content, iterating on marketing, running cohorts, and evaluating results. You'll manage contractors (virtual assistants, advisors, marketers) and have the opportunity to build a team around you as the bootcamp's impact grows. You'll report to Jamie Harris, our Courses Project Lead, within the Community Growth coalition led by Jessica McCurdy, Director of Community Growth. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES PRODUCT SCALING * Achieving ambitious growth targets for the Career Bootcamp. * Developing a marketing plan to reliably and repeatedly attract promising participants. * Building the capacity, including staffing, expertise, and funding relationships, needed to support sustainable growth. * Maintaining the quality and cost-effectiveness of the bootcamp as it scales.

TEAM MANAGEMENT * Coordinating contractors, including advisors, marketers, and virtual assistants, to ensure successful delivery of the bootcamp. * Building and leading a team as the bootcamp's impact and scale grow.

You have successfully led and developed team members and can deliver results through others, or if you haven't already led a team, you are ready and excited to start and to improve your management skills over time * Career advising judgement: You have substantive understanding of the impact-focused career landscape and can hold your own in conversations with people working in unusually impactful cause areas. * (Bonus) Experience with scaling online courses, career advising products, or EA community-building services * (Bonus) You’ve made or are making a career pivot yourself OTHER INFORMATION * This is a full-time, remote position.
