Omidyar Network

Omidyar Network is a philanthropic organization that works to shape the trajectory of digital technology toward shared power, prosperity, and possibility. The organization engages, partners, and funds thinkers and innovators, having committed more than $1.94 billion to date for initiatives aligned with its vision. Its programs and policy team focuses on the culture, governance, and business of digital tech through grant making, advocacy, and collaboration with investors, tech firms, policymakers, consumers, and workers.

The organization works in artificial intelligence and frontier technology, maintaining a portfolio that includes consequential AI companies and partners who write policies, papers, and standards governing these technologies. Through this work, Omidyar Network addresses questions about how powerful technologies are built, who builds them, and how governance and capital influence their development across investments, grants, ecosystem-building, and thought leadership.

To support these teams, Omidyar Network hires professionals from backgrounds including policy, advocacy, nonprofits, community organizing, technology, consulting, philanthropy, education, and the arts. Current hiring includes a Principal position focused on Programs and Policy for Tech and AI, located in San Francisco. The open role combines aspects of for-profit deals, grantmaking, ecosystem-building, and thought leadership rather than serving as a pure investing or grantmaking position.
