The James Irvine Foundation is a nonprofit philanthropic organization committed to expanding opportunity for the people of California. We seek talented, team-oriented individuals, dedicated to excellence and to making California a better place for all its residents.

Although we receive many inquiries, we operate with a small staff of approximately 38, and openings are infrequent. As available, all positions and application instructions will be posted here. If you have questions regarding a specific job opening, please contact our Human Resources Department by email at hr@irvine.org.

As we seek to build a staff that brings a variety of perspectives and backgrounds to our philanthropic work, we are committed to diversity in all aspects of our hiring practices and are an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Please note: We do not encourage unsolicited phone calls, resumes or applications, and it is our policy to process only those resumes submitted for available positions. Additionally, because of our limited staff size, we regret that we are not able to provide informational interviews.
