Account Manager

Back to Careers

Key information

Role: The Account Manager serves as the primary operational partner to leadership and senior relationship managers, enabling them to build relationships and effectively deploy capital from some of the world’s largest and most consequential donors. You will play a critical role in ensuring that relationship holders are fully prepared, well-informed, and able to realise the full potential of donor relationships. This includes synthesising donor information, stewarding relationship holders, coordinating with grantmakers, drafting high-quality materials, and proactively anticipating what is needed to advance donor strategies.

This role requires strong organisational skills, clear communication, and careful attention to detail. The ideal candidate is highly reliable, self-directed, structured in their approach to work, and able to independently manage multiple workstreams in a fast-moving environment.

Longview is hiring for two Account Managers. Profiles of each below:

AI Focus: Longview is one of the world’s largest funders in AI safety, with the potential to drastically scale our grantmaking in the coming years. This Account Manager will be focused on supporting high-context AI safety donors, who are themselves technical experts. This role will work closely with the Longview AI grantmaking team, leadership, content, and core relationship managers to prepare briefs, communications, and reporting. As such, we are looking for a candidate who is versed in AI safety.

Traditional Philanthropists: Longview also works with many ultra-high-net-worth philanthropists who may support a range of causes, including nuclear weapons policy, AI safety, and global catastrophic risk. These tend to be more traditional principal-level philanthropists who are moving 7 and 8 figures annually. We are looking for an exceptional account manager with experience in principal gifts to support leadership on these core relationships. 

 

About Longview: In 2025, Longview is on track to advise and direct over $60m to high-impact opportunities across AI safety and global catastrophic risk reduction. We anticipate scaling beyond $100m annually in 2026, with the potential to multiply that in the following years. Longview has built two of the world's largest and most experienced philanthropic teams in their respective fields: one focused on AI safety grantmaking, the other on nuclear weapons policy. These teams support important projects and areas other funders can’t or won’t adequately cover due to capacity, expertise, or risk constraints. As we increasingly shift toward active grantmaking—identifying critical gaps, headhunting founders, and seeding entirely new subfields—we aim to move quickly, take thoughtful bets, and focus on what we believe the world most needs to prevent catastrophic risks.

Achieving that vision requires channelling new levels of capital toward top priorities in AI safety, nuclear weapons policy, and biosecurity. New major philanthropists are coming online and are looking for strategic advice on the timing, scale, and direction of their giving. Many of these donors will be people in or with equity in the AI industry. Longview also advises more traditional ultra-high-net-worth philanthropists, providing a bespoke high-end service for their philanthropic priorities. 

Longview has built a reputation as a deeply trusted advisor across these different donor sets. This role will help strengthen and expand those relationships as we scale by ensuring that donor strategies progress reliably and that the information and coordination required for high-quality donor engagement are handled with the utmost accuracy and timeliness. Your ability to maintain structure and momentum behind the scenes is critical to advancing the relationships that steward capital to the most promising interventions for some of the world’s most pressing problems.
