Head of Legal/General Counsel

We’re looking for candidates to join our 1on1 team. The 1on1 team at 80,000 Hours talks to people who want to have a positive impact in their work and helps them find career paths tackling the world’s most pressing problems. We’re keen to expand our team by hiring people who can help with at least one (and hopefully more!) of the following responsibilities: Advising: talking one-on-one to talented and altruistic applicants in order to help them find high-impact careers. Running our headhunting product: working with hiring managers at the most effective organisations to help them find exceptional employees. Improving our systems: building tech-based systems to support our team members. If you think you’d be interested in taking on more than one of these duties, and enjoy wearing multiple hats in your job, we strongly encourage you to apply. The start dates of these roles are flexible, although we’re likely to prioritise candidates who can start sooner, all else equal. These roles have starting salaries from £50,000 to £85,000 (depending on skills and experience) and are ideally London-based. We’re able to sponsor visa applications. To apply for a role as an Advisor, Headhunting Lead, or Systems Analyst, please fill out this application form by 11PM GMT on Sunday, October 8, 2023. We expect the application to take around an hour.

Open position: Advisor The role It’s a great sign you’d enjoy being an 80,000 Hours advisor if you’ve enjoyed managing, mentoring, or teaching. We’ve found that experience with coaching is not necessary — backgrounds in a range of fields like medicine, research, management consulting, and more have helped our advisors become strong candidates for the role. For example, Anemone Franz joined us after working as a clinical trial physician, Abigail Novick-Hoskin completed her PhD in Psychology, and Matt Reardon was previously a corporate lawyer. But it’s also particularly useful for us to have a broad range of experience on the team, so we’re excited to hear from people with all kinds of backgrounds. The core of this role is having one-on-one conversations with people to help them plan their careers, although we have a tight-knit, fast-paced team where people take on a variety of things. These include, for example, building networks and expertise in our priority paths, analysing data to improve our services, and writing posts for the 80,000 Hours website or the EA Forum.

Open Position: Headhunting Lead The role As Headhunting Lead, you would: Develop and lead a headhunting process that makes use of the unique network the 1on1 team has built to help fill roles working on some of the world’s most pressing problems (particularly in AI safety and policy, biosecurity, and global priorities research). Build strong working relationships with hiring managers and team leads at key organisations tackling these problems, as well as top candidates for these roles. Lead the 1on1 team’s internal data strategy. Coordinate with the 1on1 and Job Board teams to fill important openings and highlight these to promising candidates in our network.

Open Position: Systems Analyst The role As a Systems Analyst for the 1on1 team, your responsibilities could include: Building systems to enable new ways of delivering value to users. Prioritising and implementing changes requested by staff. Crafting automations to streamline internal and external processes. Providing project management and operations assistance for 1on1 team priorities. Analysing data to answer strategically relevant questions. Hiring and managing contractors. Salesforce administration.

Salaries Salaries will vary based on your skills and experience, but to give a rough sense, a starting salary for a full-time position would range from ~£50,000-85,000 per year. For someone with five years of relevant experience, a starting salary would likely be in excess of £70,000 per year.

Benefits Our benefits (prorated for part-time staff, where applicable) include: The option to use 10% of your work time for self development. 25 days of paid holiday, plus bank holidays. Standard UK pension, with 3% contribution from employer. £5,000 mental health support allowance. Private medical insurance. Generous paid parental leave. Long-term disability insurance. Flexible work hours. Gym, shower facilities, and free food provided at our London office. Our remote work policy also accommodates being away for up to three months of the year, if needed, and we’re able to sponsor visa applications and cover many moving expenses.
