Why work at AIM?
In short, to play an influential role within a close-knit team, delivering multiple programs and producing significant, measurable impact on some of the world's most significant problems.
Our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program has launched over 40 charities, providing talented founders with evidence-based intervention ideas, ongoing mentorship, and seed funding. Together, these charities are estimated to improve the lives of more than 1 billion animals worldwide. Organisations such as Fish Welfare Initiative, Shrimp Welfare Project, and FarmKind have all started through our program.
AIM’s work is growing. In 2022, we piloted and built out our AIM Impactful Grantmaking Program, helping funders set up their grantmaking for maximum impact and coordinate in cause area-specific funding circles for early and mid-size charities. In 2023, we started running our AIM Research Training Program to upskill nonprofit researchers and create research outputs to be used in our other programs.
In 2025, we will run our AIM Founding to Give Program for the first time, helping talented founders start high-growth businesses that can direct some of their profits to funding high-impact work.
Each role in a nutshell
Charity Entrepreneurship Program Manager
Our prior Program Manager has moved up to the role of Chief Programs Officer on our executive team. As such, we are looking for a deeply impact-motivated Program Manager to run our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program.
In this role, you will train, advise, and pair exceptional potential founders through a twice-annual, two-month training program. This culminates in supporting the founders through a seed fundraising round and the launch of new charities, delivering exceptionally cost-effective programs at scale across global development.
Philanthropic Programs Director
To run the next rounds of our 2½-years old Grantmaking Training program, we are looking for a Philanthropic Programs Director to continue finding, training, and advising funders in setting up their grantmaking for maximum impact. In addition, you will provide strategic oversight and guidance to the funders in our five funding circles, collectively distributing $5-10 million annually.
We are looking for a talented operations manager who will enable us to keep running operations for AIM itself. This could include human resource management, finance, team productivity improvements and managing the community office workspace, as well as providing support to our incubated high-impact charities, both with their initial set-up and on an ongoing ad hoc basis.
Communication & Marketing Manager
We are looking for a talented Communication and Marketing Manager to join our Recruitment team to increase the quality of AIM’s communication, and our identification of exceptional talent to join our high-impact training programs. In this role, you will create, execute, and evaluate multi-channel marketing and communications strategies and continuously evaluate and improve them for the next iteration.
