Job description

Massive Good (massivegood.com) (San Francisco, CA / Austin, TX)

Massive Good is a high-impact charity focused on direct, measurable support, building a new model of individualized charity, founded by John Andrew Entwistle.

Philanthropy is broadly inefficient and often overlooks individual needs. We use AI-powered intake followed by human discernment and resolution to turn a specific person's real need into a verified plan, then mobilize resources to deliver concrete help. Case by case, we deliver massive good to the world.

We are looking for a high-agency operator to take full ownership of core functions and lead the mission's growth.

The Role

You will operate in a technology-first early-stage organization: owning strategy, execution, and growth. You must be able to move between high-level decisions and hands-on work.

Core Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary case manager: review AI-assisted intakes, conduct human verification and discernment, coordinate delivery of help, and track outcomes
• Own incoming communications and respond to emails and platform inquiries promptly
• Lead fundraising, donor relationships, and events
• Partner closely with the developer on platform, website, and systems improvements
• Own financial operations end-to-end: budgeting, bookkeeping, payments, reporting, and compliance
• Drive external communications, storytelling, and PR
• Build and maintain internal systems and processes as the organization grows
• Report clear progress and metrics to the board

Who You Are

• Familiar with modern technology, software, marketing, and business
• Seed-stage founder mentality: high-agency, self-directed, and resourceful
• Strong execution orientation - proactive and willing to do whatever is required
• Highly competent generalist who can handle case management, operations, finance, and external relations at a high level
• Excellent written and verbal communicator
• Strong with numbers and financial systems; comfortable owning the full financial picture
• Mission-driven and pragmatic - focused on real, measurable outcomes

Nice-to-Haves

• Prior experience founding or operating an early-stage startup, business, or high-impact organization
• Technical aptitude (ability to work more deeply with the developer and platform is a plus)
• Experience with lean tools and systems
• Fundraising or event experience

Compensation & Structure

Competitive salary and benefits.
