Job Details

About Water Foundation

The Water Foundation works with and through partners to advance lasting solutions to secure safe water for people, restore and sustain freshwater ecosystems, and build climate resilience. The Water Foundation does this as a public foundation through direct grantmaking, field building, and campaign strategy development.


What is the Water Table?

The Water Table started in 2015 as an experiment to see whether funders could do more by joining forces and collaborating across the philanthropic water sector on larger-scale water issues. It has become a committed funder collaborative dedicated to identifying and activating promising water solutions through strategic philanthropic investments.


The Water Table has helped direct hundreds of millions of philanthropic dollars by providing a forum for funders to learn together, align resources, and act on water.


The Opportunity

A commitment to understanding and meeting the needs of each group is imperative.


The starting salary range for the position is $109,000 to $126,000, depending on experience. The Water Table Officer is a remote position and will require easy access to a major airport as US. intermittent travel will be required.
