Lead educational initiatives that turn AI safety interest into world-changing talent. You will directly shape how the field addresses talent bottlenecks in AI Safety. What you do to achieve this is up to you, but will likely include:

• Identifying critical field talent gaps by:

  • building relationships with hiring managers at key organizations to understand their needs

  • working with funders to figure out what they want to fund, but can't find the talent for

  • thinking hard about field strategy, working with experts across the AI safety ecosystem

• Designing high-quality educational experiences by:

  • translating field requirements into concrete learning objectives

  • applying science of learning and instructional design principles

  • finding, developing or commissioning the best resources in the field

• Ensure these experiences run smoothly by:

  • ruthlessly prioritising what's most important for learner experience

  • being able to effectively execute or delegate operational tasks

  • hiring and managing new staff and contractors to help you

• Continuously improve the above process in a data-driven way, ideally primarily based on graduate outcomes and impact on the world

We don't expect candidates to have experience with all the above. Strong candidates will likely have bring strengths in one or more areas, and enthusiasm for learning about the others on the job.
