Building a movement
for meaningful work
We're on a mission to help professionals find work that tackles the world's most pressing problems
Our Mission
At Impactful Career, we believe that where you spend your time matters more than you think. Too many talented professionals feel stuck in careers that don't align with their values or fail to address the problems that matter most.
We're here to change that. Through our fellowship program, career advising, and recruitment support, we help people transition into high-impact careers where they can make a real difference—whether that's in global health, climate action, poverty alleviation, or other critical areas.
Our approach is grounded in research and evidence. We draw on decades of career science and effective altruism principles to help our fellows and partner organizations maximize their positive impact on the world.
