We're hiring for several roles into our Events teams (EA Global, EAGx, and AI Events) at the Associate and Senior Associate level. Rather than filling a single fixed role, we're running a combined round and will calibrate seniority and scope based on candidates' strengths.

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 teams

EA Global (EAG) is CEA's flagship conference series; every year, we run three conferences in San Francisco, London and New York, attracting over 3,000 attendees. The EAG team runs the production of the full event from content programming, admissions, and production for several large conferences each year. Coefficient Giving's survey of people working on global catastrophic risks found that one third reported EAG and EAGx helped them significantly as they figured out what to do with their careers.

EAGx events are two-to-three day long community-organized conferences, like TEDx to TED. Local organizers run content, admissions, and production. We also introduced a new event format, EA Summits, in 2024, which are part of the EAGx portfolio. EA Summits are one-day events designed to introduce new audiences to the ideas behind EA and help identify promising new talent. CEA provides funding, infrastructure, and advisory support and the EAGx team manages organizer relationships and ensures events meet our quality bar. In 2026, we are running 10 EAGx events and at least 23 EA Summits across more than 26 countries.

AI Events organizes the Summit on Existential Security (SES) and related high-trust convenings for the AI safety and governance ecosystems. These events help accelerate the people best-positioned to help safely navigate existential risks from AI through strategic updates, and accelerating work via new projects, hires, and collaborations.

Common features of these roles

Across all three sub-teams, we're looking for people who:

• Take ownership. You consider your work and delivering your team’s mission as your responsibility – you spot what needs doing and do it without waiting to be asked.

• Can hold a lot at once. These roles all involve many simultaneous workstreams. You stay organized, keep things moving, don't drop balls, and communicate when you need to reprioritize.
