Group Picture of the amazing community you would join!
Effective Altruism Switzerland (EACH) is hiring an Impact Cohort Manager to professionalize and take ownership of our 🇨đź‡Impact Cohort (see current cohort here): 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. We are looking for someone with strong social skills, genuine care for the people they advise, and good program management skills. You should also bring a deep understanding of the core principles of effective altruism.
Due to Swiss work permit regulations, we can only consider applicants who are citizens of Switzerland or an EU/EFTA member state (or who already hold a valid Swiss work permit).

The Impact Cohort is EACH's in-person career-support program: a seasonal cohort, run about three times a year, that helps motivated people in Switzerland turn their ambition to do good into concrete action. It combines personal 1-on-1 mentoring, in-person co-working days at our PEAKS office in Zurich, and peer support. We have run several cohorts since spring 2025.
The program currently runs in two phases. This is how the cohort works today — but we treat it as a living program, and whoever takes this role will have the mandate to evolve and reshape the format over time.
Phase 1 — the Open Cohort is a lower-barrier, four-week kickstart: each participant picks one concrete impact goal and gets light-touch support — a kickoff session, weekly nudges and goal tracking, a 1-on-1 call with one of the organizers, and a co-working day in Zurich. Participants who show real momentum are then invited into
Phase 2 — the Closed Cohort, a smaller group with deeper, more personalized support and tighter accountability: more 1-on-1 calls (chosen from weekly check-ins and biweekly coaching calls), additional in-person co-working days, and peer events.
Beyond the cohort itself, EACH runs the Impact Community — an ongoing alumni group, where members meet participants from earlier cohorts and longer-term community members and can stay involved well after the program ends.
Most participants are between 25 and 35 — advanced students, early-career professionals, or PhDs — from across Switzerland. So far most facilitated career changes have been in AI safety, with growing interest in biosecurity and ongoing interest in global health & development and effective giving. The program is open both to people already active in the community and to those new to these ideas.
End-to-End Program Ownership — 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.
Outreach & Growth — Actively promote the cohort beyond EACH's established channels to reach new audiences and build a larger, stronger participant pipeline.
Individualized Career Advising — 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 the Impact Community — 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.
Measurement & Reporting — Help shape where the program goes. 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.
