Among the best in the world at what they do2 roles
This tier is about the solution itself. We are fairly confident these organisations are among the best in the world in their field — vetted by GiveWell, Animal Charity Evaluators, Founders Pledge or The Life You Can Save, or listed by 80,000 Hours, Probably Good, EA Opportunities or Animal Advocacy Careers. Somebody else has already judged that what they do works, so we list every role there that is open to someone in the Netherlands, including support and operations work. Expect fierce competition, and expect remote work or a move.
Senior Data Analyst, Animal Welfare
Netherlands Government, Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA)NetherlandsOn site in the Netherlands
The NVWA, the Dutch food and consumer product safety regulator, cannot inspect every livestock farm, so someone has to choose which farms get a visit: you build the models that guide that choice.

Roles with leverage, here in the Netherlands3 roles
This tier is about leverage. Most of these employers — ministries, regulators, universities, banks — would not say they work on one of the world’s largest problems, and nobody has vetted them as a whole. What we look for is different: roles that let you point more at the problem than your own hours. That might be money, or rules that bind a whole sector, or the work of dozens of other people, or an idea that is free to copy afterwards. A credit analyst at an agricultural lender can matter more than a programme officer at a charity. That judgement is ours, made role by role, and we always write down the reason. Competition here is usually a good deal lighter.

Organic livestock farmers must give their animals more space and outdoor access than conventional farms, but those rules are only as strong as the oversight behind them.

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
