Careers
Our mission is to fuel a 21st century renaissance by increasing the ambition of philanthropists, scientists, and innovators.
Our aim is to activate a virtuous loop of increasing ambition and impact between philanthropists and innovators: by identifying frontier experts both in science and in new ways of solving problems; by tapping into the growing number of emerging philanthropists; and by building multi-sector initiatives that can harness the power of philanthropy, markets, and governments.
We advance our mission by advising philanthropists, surfacing breakthrough ideas, and incubating ambitious initiatives. Explore our work, track record, and team here.
We’re looking for a Director to design and lead this fund from inception — convening experts for field strategy, building the grantmaking apparatus, managing a portfolio of funded teams, and stewarding a growing coalition of philanthropic, government, and technical partners. You will work alongside a technical Principal Investigator and an advisory board to realize this vision.
This role is ideal for someone comfortable with operating independently, with strong project management skills, and familiarity with the landscape of public AI infrastructure, large-scale training data, and open-source data ecosystems.
We’re looking for a Technical Associate who will play a key role in scaling and shaping our emerging work at the intersection of AI and Mathematics.
This role is ideal for someone with a PhD in mathematics, computer science or related scientific discipline, and who has strong analytical skills, and rigorous evaluation ability.
We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Research and Origination within the Fund Ecosystem program which will play a key role in building out Renaissance Philanthropy's work to design, launch, and evaluate new, thesis-driven philanthropic funds.
The ideal candidate will be a technical polymath who thrives on a combination of breadth (surveying the full landscape of possibilities) and depth (conducting deep and intense diligence), and action (making things happen).
