Impact Cohort Manager

Effective Altruism Switzerland (EACH) is looking for an Impact Cohort Manager.

EACH is hiring an Impact Cohort Manager to professionalize and take ownership of the Impact Cohort: a career-advising and talent-placement program that helps altruistically-minded people in Switzerland move into high-impact careers. You would take full ownership of a well-established program, with the mandate to grow and develop it further.

• Own the Impact Cohort end-to-end: plan, promote, run, and evaluate each cohort, and keep developing the program - including growing its reach over time
• Actively promote the cohort beyond EACH's established channels to reach new audiences and build a larger, stronger participant pipeline
• Deliver the program's core 1-on-1 advising across both phases: give personalized guidance to students, early-career, and more experienced professionals; support participants on concrete applications and track their progress over time
• Lead not just the cohort but the ongoing Impact Community: run community days, and maintain long-term relationships with members, including participants from earlier cohorts
• Collect structured participant feedback after each phase, track outcomes (career changes; pledges/donations where they happen), and use that evidence to significantly expand and refine the cohort over time
• Build strong impact data and contribute to reporting to funders — with the ambition of making this a genuinely data-driven program

• Eligible to work in Switzerland (CH or EU/EFTA citizenship, or a valid permit)
• Based in Switzerland or willing to relocate (ideally Zurich)
• Fluent English
• Very strong social skills — an excellent listener with a strong sense for where people are uncertain
• Ability to ask situation-specific, critical questions
• Strong project and program management skills — able to run the cohort end to end
• Strategic planning skills — able to grow and reshape the program over time, not just execute it
• Reliable, structured, and well-organized; comfortable handling many relationships and moving parts in parallel
• Genuine interest in participants' lives
• Foundational alignment with the core principles of effective altruism
• Desired: Existing familiarity with EA and the high-impact career landscape, experience in 1:1 advising/mentoring/coaching, comfortable with both students and mid-career professionals, proficiency in German, established network in the (Swiss) EA / high-impact ecosystem
