About the role

The Gates Foundation in Seattle invites applications for multiple Senior Strategy Officer roles across the U.S. Program. You will partner with senior leaders to translate strategy into actionable plans, manage portfolios, and guide cross-team coordination to deliver impact. Advancement of data, AI and equitable investing, along with rigorous planning and governance, are central to this work. Candidates should have advanced degrees and strong experience in strategy, planning, and leadership.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
