About the role

The Foundation

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, we’re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

The Team

The Team

The Foundation Strategy Office is the primary function supporting the creation and evolution of our program level strategies, as well as exploring new paths to impact that align with our mission. This includes supporting the CEO, CFO and Chief Strategy Officer in key accountabilities including strategy development, strategy revision, strategy performance measurement, portfolio management, and special initiatives to accelerate the impact of the foundation.

Within the Foundation Strategy Office, the AI Steering Committee (AI SC) Secretariat serves as the strategic and operational backbone for setting Board Chair and Executive Leadership Team’s agenda on AI, best practice identification and execution support for high-priority cross-cutting AI strategy. The AI SC was established to help the foundation navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape, enabling a cross-organization group of foundation directors to serve as the AI “nerve center” for the organization through incorporation of external trends on AI into program strategies, elevation of best practices and cross-organization prioritization of our funding and our voice on AI.

This role will be based out of the Seattle, Washington headquarters.

Your Role

This role sits at the center of FSO's AI transformation work, operating across three interconnected workstreams: the AI Steering Committee secretariat, the Foundation's enterprise AI platform, and the FSO AI Learning Agenda.

The core of the role is pattern recognition and systems building across contexts. You will engage directly with staff across programmatic, operational, strategy, and IT functions to understand how knowledge work actually happens — and from that, identify where AI creates the most transformative value, at what scale, and what needs to be built. You will drive day-to-day progress across all three workstreams: developing use cases and requirements, building roadmaps, tracking the Foundation's AI portfolio, and designing learning experiences that shift how FSO staff work.

This position is a limited-term position for 24 months.

What You'll Do

Prototype and iterate AI-enabled tools — copilots, agents, and workflow automations — moving from concept to usable internal solutions, with feedback loops and continuous improvement built in from the start.

Identify high-leverage use cases, map workflows and stakeholder needs with precision, and synthesize structured requirements that drive platform design and development prioritization.

Define reusable patterns for AI components that scale across teams — including prompt design, retrieval approaches, and evaluation frameworks — partnering with IT to ensure solutions are production-ready and architecturally sound.

Scope and structure complex work products for distributed execution: determine optimal sourcing approaches (external vendors, AI Fellows, or other internal resources), decompose larger initiatives into discrete components assignable across sub-groups, and ensure outputs can be integrated back into coherent, high-q
