Senior Manager, Research and Origination, Fund Ecosystem

The mission of Renaissance Philanthropy 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. As the Senior Manager, Research and Origination within the Fund Ecosystem program at Renaissance Philanthropy, you will play a key role in building out Renaissance Philanthropy's work to design, launch, and evaluate new, thesis-driven philanthropic funds. The Fund Ecosystem program at Renaissance Philanthropy seeks to strengthen the broad ecosystem of thesis-driven philanthropic funds. The program has three focus areas: advising philanthropists who are interested in supporting thesis-driven funds, building public goods to support the philanthropic fund ecosystem, and origination. This role will have a strong focus on pressing health and development challenges in low-and-middle income countries, but you should expect to spend much of your time traversing a wide range of other topics, from math education to climate policy to biomedical R&D.
