Career Advisor (and Headhunting or Events Specialist) - 2 Roles

At

Probably Good

, our goal is to help people build careers that are good for them and for the world. We’re excited to share that, after exceeding expectations in our previous grant period, we just received a new grant from Coefficient Giving to significantly scale our work further. We are therefore hiring two new new people for our Programs team.

Yet people who want to make a difference often face difficult questions without access to relevant resources or quality sounding boards.
We help people navigate important questions with thoughtful guidance, practical resources, and a serious commitment to understanding their individual circumstances. We’ve helped hundreds of advisees with their careers, led workshops around the world, created the largest impact-focused job board of its kind, and built the infrastructure that enables our programs to scale.
We’re looking for talented people to help shape the next chapter. You’ll help advisees turn a desire to do good into a clearer direction and concrete action, while bringing your own expertise and ideas to how we expand our support.
We expect to make two hires from this hiring round. You’ll work directly with our advisees to help them navigate consequential decisions, combining thoughtful conversation, careful analysis, and practical support.
Helping advisees identify patterns in their experience, clarify their motivations, and understand where their skills could be especially useful.
Exploring promising career paths and weighing tradeoffs between impact, personal fit, career development, and practical constraints.
Researching relevant cause areas, professional fields, organizations, and opportunities.
Helping people turn broad ambitions into concrete next steps: testing a direction, developing skills, seeking feedback, making connections, or applying for roles.
Maintaining accurate advising records so that we can analyze and improve our own performance.
Sharing insights, learning from advisees’ experiences, and helping improve our advising approach.
Events
Our team regularly delivers events for top universities and professional groups, encouraging more people to consider impact in their career planning. You could help us reach even more talented people by developing and delivering workshops, giving talks, hosting Q&As, and representing Probably Good externally. There’s scope to shape our content, build relationships with hosts, expand to new audiences, and connect participants with ongoing support.
You could identify promising candidates, build relationships with hiring organizations, understand what particular roles require, and help fill the crucial roles that can unlock progress across a range of cause areas. You could also develop our approach to proactive outreach and thoughtful talent matching, using the latest AI models to scale our existing offer.
Relevant skills could come from advising, mentoring, research, recruiting, management, coaching, community building, or work in one of our

priority cause areas

.
You’re motivated to help people contribute to a better world and interested in thinking rigorously about how they can do so.
You enjoy investigating unfamiliar fields and engaging seriously with different ways of contributing.
You’re excited about building new things, testing them, and iterating on the results, and you’re comfortable working with significant ambiguity.
Fluency in English.

Most of our users are English speakers, and advising calls are conducted in English.
Familiarity with effective altruism and other communities focused on social impact is useful but not required. You’ll join a small, remote, collaborative team where your ideas and judgment can influence how we work.
Well agree on the level and position within the range during the hiring process.

PTO:

30 days of paid leave per year, inclusive of public holidays.
Health insurance:

Employer-covered insurance premiums for you and your dependents, including dental and vision.
Retirement:

An annual, unconditional grant of 5% of salary toward your pension/retirement.
Reimbursement of ergonomic equipment, coworking fees, and relevant professional development.
Fully remote with flexible hours.
Location:

Remote, with a strong preference for candidates who are available on weekdays for at least 3 hours between 12-5pm UK time. We are unable to sponsor visas for these roles.
Full-time preferred, with potential for part-time (minimum 0.5 FTE).
Travel:

We currently have one in-person retreat per year (in London) that you would be expected to attend. Depending on the particular scope of the role, travel for other in-person events or conferences would be advantageous, but we would discuss that during the hiring process.
We aim to conclude the round in mid-late December, and have any new hire(s) start early in 2027, but we can be flexible for the right person.
We’re flexible on titles, and will agree on an appropriate balance of responsibilities during the hiring process. Application process and timeline
An interview with the hiring manager in mid-November.
Applicants are welcome to also apply for one-to-one advising with a member of our team, but we’ll only offer sessions once your application has concluded. For fairness reasons, we ask that you do not contact individual members of the team about the hiring process.
