We're hiring for several roles into our Events teams (EA Global, EAGx, and AI Events) at the Associate and Senior Associate level.
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.
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.
Supporting onsite production for EAGx events where CEA staff are present AI Events
The AI Events team runs high-trust, intimate convenings for people working on AI safety and governance.
The skill profile here is similar to EAG â strong execution, good systems thinking â but with a preference for candidates who are particularly interested in supporting the AI safety field.
Can juggle multiple tasks at once. You're not easily overwhelmed, and excel at managing your time and focus across competing priorities. •
This will be on the higher end for the EAGx team, and on the lower end for EAG and AI Events.

Additional details
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.
Weâre 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.
We had significant success in 2025, building momentum within CEA.
Program participation (e.g., events, courses, groups) grew by 20-25% year over year.
In 2026, weâre maintaining ambitious momentum while building the foundations for a step-change in the wider EA ecosystemâs 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.
