Since 2014, we've directed over $6 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 work with a range of donors who share our commitment https://coefficientgiving.org/our-approach/ to cost-effective, high-impact giving. Our current funds include Science and Global Health R&D https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/science-and-global-health-rd/, Navigating Transformative AI https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/navigating-transformative-ai/, Biosecurity & Pandemic Preparedness https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/biosecurity-pandemic-preparedness/, Abundance & Growth https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/abundance-and-growth/, Farm Animal Welfare https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/farm-animal-welfare/, and more https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/.

We’re proud of our track record:

- 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 https://www.nature.com/articles/d44148-025-00245-8#:~:text=Uganda%20is%20at%20the%20forefront,M%20vaccine%20to%20105%20districts..

- We jump-started the field of AI safety and security https://coefficientgiving.org/research/ai-program-update-navigating-transformative-ai/ and have played a vital role in addressing other existential threats, such as mirror bacteria https://www.mbdialogues.org/.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS IMMIGRATION TEAM

The Business Immigration team makes it possible for CG to hire the best person for a role by securing and maintaining the U.S. work authorization they need.

The Business Immigration team sits within our Global Employment team, which determines how Coefficient Giving employs people around the world: what we pay, what benefits we offer, and what work authorization we can support to make it possible.

Those questions are upstream of almost everything else we do. CG's impact depends on getting excellent people working on important problems, and the size of the pool we can draw from is set by our ability to hire compliantly across more than a dozen different jurisdictions and offer competitive compensation and benefits in each. Every constraint we resolve is a candidate we can say yes to.

CG’s projected growth, combined with a fast-shifting U.S. policy environment, means our work is often urgent and rarely routine. Our long-term vision is to keep building the infrastructure and capacity to support our staff while maintaining high standards for service and implementing systems improvements.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role will primarily focus on providing high-quality service to our team members through ownership of day-to-day casework. You may also contribute to ongoing systems and process improvement and refining our immigration approach, vision, and goals. This role is central to making the whole Business Immigration function more resilient, and there's meaningful room to shape it as it grows.

Your core responsibilities would include:

- Owning day-to-day U.S. immigration casework for current and future employees across nonimmigrant visas (e.g. H-1B, E-3, O-1) and green card processes, including complex PERM cases. This means outlining the factors involved in a case for CG staff and candidates, coordinating with them to gather the necessary information, working with our external immigration counsel to develop case strategies and track progress, and troubleshooting obstacles so cases move forward on time.

- Owning the employee's experience of every case you handle. The employee always knows where things stand; stakeholders like recruiting, People Ops, and hiring managers have what they need before they ask; and nothing falls between systems. A visa or green card case is a big moment in someone's life, and your work is what makes it feel manageable.

- Partnering with our immigration counsel to manage visa initiation and renewal, as well as the green card process, ensuring a positive employee experience throughout. You would come to understand counsel's process well enough to know when a case is genuinely stuck and when it just needs a push, and you'd be the one who pushes.

- Identifying and collaborating on process improvements, and keeping all visa and green card documentation and policies up to date, accessible, and easy for CG employees to understand.

- Ensuring a smooth handoff between recruitment and onboarding for employees who require a visa.

- Fielding immigration inquiries, including questions rela
