Work that shapes where resources go

Join a team working at the intersection of research, philanthropy, and real-world impact.

Research meets philanthropy. Decisions meet impact.

Founders Pledge helps ambitious entrepreneurs give more effectively. We do that through rigorous research, one-to-one advising, and a growing suite of funds and products. If you're drawn to complex problems and care about doing the most good you can — this might be the right place for you.

Redefining what it means to do good

What we do is ambitious and difficult.

We have a clear sense of where we’re going, and we’re still building how we get there. As Founders Pledge grows, parts of the organisation are evolving, giving you the opportunity to shape how we work and how we deliver impact.

Doing this work requires passion and resilience. The payoff - moving hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations that can save the most lives, increase the wellbeing of people and animals to the highest degree, change the course of the climate crisis, prevent future catastrophes, and much more - is well worth it.

All jobs

Small team. Real ownership. Meaningful impact.

We’re a small, growing team, which means individuals can have a real impact on how we work and what we achieve. We value curiosity and thoughtful thinking, and we look for people who take ownership of their work and care about doing it well.

We offer a flexible way of working and trust people to manage their time and priorities. That comes with a high level of autonomy, but also a shared responsibility to support each other and deliver strong outcomes as a team.

Our benefits

Flexibility

We're distributed by design, not circumstance. You can work from home, a coworking space, or one of our offices, and we trust you to manage your own calendar around your team's needs. Most people find this genuinely freeing; it also requires you to be organized and communicative.
Certain roles may require you to be in a specific location; this will be clear on the job ad.
Annual in-person gatherings

Once a year, the whole team gets together. It's one of the things people consistently mention as a highlight. Team-level meetups happen separately at least once a year too.
Certain roles may require you to come into the office and meet your team regularly; this will be clear on the job ad.
Health and wellbeing

Quarterly wellbeing allowance, comprehensive private healthcare for US and UK employees, and a genuine organizational norm around taking it.
Family-friendly benefits

Enhanced parental, adoption, and surrogacy leave, including up to 19 weeks fully paid maternity leave.
Professional development

There's a generous budget and it's genuinely yours to use. People spend it on courses, conferences, books, coaching — whatever actually supports their growth.

Mission-driven & values-led

To achieve our mission of empowering entrepreneurs to do immense good, we follow four core values. They are guideposts for our strategy and guardrails for our behavior, and they’re one of the ways we like to celebrate each other’s work.

Follow data

We use data to lead our decision making, rely on collective intuition and experience where we need to, and are confident in changing our minds when the data suggests we should do so.
Maximize impact

We are rigorous with how and where we spend our time and energy, focusing on the counterfactual to do the most good we can and prioritizing the most impactful things we can do to achieve that.

Take action

We move from thinking to doing. The future of philanthropy won't shape itself, and waiting for perfect information is its own kind of decision. We ship, we iterate, we keep going.
Energize others

We're doing work that matters, and we try to make that felt. We show up for each other, share progress, and help colleagues see the connection between what they're doing and why it matters.

Why we work here

I moved to Founders Pledge to do what I love at scale - helping others do good. And not just the average good, but the best possible good. It’s tremendously rewarding to work at an organization that believes strategically investing in targeted solutions can unlock progress in the areas traditional philanthropy neglects.

Every Friday I log off with the comforting feeling that my work was meaningful and purposeful. If doing the most good that you can is important to you, you’ll thrive here!

Macarena Espinar Lopez
Business Analyst
I view my early career through the lens of four guiding principles: 1) What I’m passionate about 2) What I’m good at 3) What the world needs and 4) What I will get paid for. At Founders Pledge, I’ve found my way to a place where these components intersect.
