Ideal candidate

High-agency owner who follows AI safety closely and loves turning ambiguous ideas into working programs. You start and finish things end-to-end and care about bringing strong talent into the field.

Requirements

• High agency: start things without being asked and finish them, including unglamorous parts
• Proven ownership running a project with several outside parties from start to finish with little direction
• Follow-through: partners, funders and contractors don't wait on you, keep own deadlines
• AI-native: build and use AI tools and automations in own work, check outputs before shipping
• High context: follow AI safety closely, know which organizations do what, understand bringing talent into field
• Learn from others: study how comparable programs did it and ask people who ran them
