About this role
GiveDirectly is hiring a Senior Manager to anchor our presence in the San Francisco/Palo Alto tech community and grow high-net-worth (HNW) giving. You will own the full donor lifecycle-sourcing, cultivating, closing, and stewarding six- and seven-figure gifts-while acting as GD's strategic ambassador across the Bay Area ecosystem.
This is a rare senior individual-contributor role that puts you in the room with the Bay Area's most influential founders, engineers, and investors-converting their curiosity into six- and seven-figure gifts that directly reduce extreme poverty. You'll build on GiveDirectly's current Bay Area relationships while opening new doors through curated salons, warm-intro networks, and targeted partnerships. You'll work closely with the CEO on pivotal donor conversations and strategy and be expected to operate in a high-trust, high-autonomy, outcome-driven environment.
Level: Senior Manager
Travel Requirement: Must be able to travel ~1-2 times per year to one of our countries of operation for team retreats or field visits
What you'll do:

• Own and grow a major giving portfolio: Steward and upgrade a defined book while opening net-new doors across founders, early employees, VCs, and advisors/DAFs.
• Prospect systematically: Build a high-quality top-of-funnel (research, warm intros, small co-hosted gatherings), qualify efficiently, and maintain accurate forecasts and next steps.
• Support leadership: leverage senior leaders to grow our impact with the highest impact partners; plan visits, brief for meetings, support events.
• Host & attend the right things: Curate micro-salons/dinners; represent GD at high-signal tech/AI events; partner with credible insiders for co-hosted convenings.
• Build Bay Area partnerships: Create repeatable channels-community events, employer/DAF talks and matches, founder-led brand collaborations-that reliably produce donors or visibility with high-value audiences.
• Translate impact for technologists: Do presentations/talks, craft concise briefs and proposals that connect GD's evidence and operating model to a builder's mindset; tailor for technical and executive audiences.
• Operate with data: Keep impeccable CRM hygiene; regularly test new initiatives (events, intros, content), measure results, and double-down on what converts.

What you'll bring:

• Exceptional alignment with GiveDirectly Values and active demonstration of our core competencies: emotional intelligence, problem solving, project management, follow-through, and fostering inclusivity. We welcome and strongly encourage applications from candidates who have personal or professional experience in the low-income and/or historically marginalized communities that we serve.
• Connector-operator: Demonstrated success with high value relationships (in tech/AI/finance), whether it's as a founder, fundraiser, consulting, sales or biz dev, converting curiosity to commitments and upgrading renewals.
• Bay Area ecosystem fluency: Credible with founders, engineers, investors; comfortable in rooms hosted by AI labs and venture firms; adept at convening the right co-hosts and guests.
• Outbound hunter mentality: Proactive prospector with a repeatable approach to qualifying, advancing, and forecasting pipeline; disciplined CRM hygiene.
• Deep alignment with GiveDirectly's values: impact oriented, fast moving, positive, candid.
• Exceptional written and verbal communicator: Ability to translate evidence and operations into founder-friendly "giving products" and memos; giving talks; comfortable discussing data and evidence with technical audiences.
• Autonomous with high operational rigor: A self-starter, comfortable operating in ambiguity, with strong project management skills and clarity in fast-moving, entrepreneurial contexts

Who should apply (three broad profiles)

• Fundraising & capital-raising track: Major gifts/advancement, family office/DAF advisory, or philanthropy consulting-comfortable structuring six- and seven-figure gifts (stock, DAFs, crypto) and stewarding HNW portfolios.
• Biz dev / sales / partnerships track: Tech BD or enterprise sales, VC/platform partnerships, operator community partnerships-skilled at prospecting, qualifying, running tight pipelines, and closing complex, multi-stakeholder commitments.
• Community builder / founder-operator track: Built high-signal communities or programs (salons, fellowships, operator groups), or scaled something as a founder/early operator-credible with technical audiences and strong event taste.
