📍 Remote (Global) ⏳ 27/08/2025
💰 £60,000 p.a. 🕔 Full Time

ML4Good runs in-person AI safety upskilling bootcamps. There have been 15 bootcamps so far with over 300 alumni, and we’ll have run 9 this year in Europe, South America, Singapore and Canada. We’ve also run our first governance bootcamp this summer, with a new curriculum for people with no technical background who want to work in AI Governance. We're looking for a director to keep the organisation running smoothly, collaborate with the existing team, and make our programmes more impactful.

Responsibilities 

As the Director, you’ll be getting involved and overseeing all aspects of the organisation; the execution of bootcamps, the running of an organisation, managing the team - as well as steering the future trajectory of ML4Good, our strategy, and the development of new programmes.

This will include:

  • Organisation operations - all the tasks required for running an organisation, such as hiring and management of staff, accounting and finance, managing the budget, and fundraising. 

  • Owning the organisation of bootcamps - Own the running of bootcamps end-to-end. This includes: outreach, application processing, managing the teaching team, participant communications, event logistics, and sometimes attending the camp. This is a hands-on job requiring taking on a wide variety of tasks to keep everything running smoothly, from grocery shopping to sometimes fixing the internet.

  • Developing the existing bootcamp

    • Managing curriculum development
      *You do not need extensive AI safety knowledge for this role. The curriculum is supervised by Charbel-Raphael Segerie and we have technical staff available to develop these programmes, but you are responsible for the project management. 

    • Managing teacher and TA development and progression

  • Making strategic decisions

    • Some examples of questions include “which regions should we prioritise to run bootcamps in?", “which profiles of participants should we prioritise?”

    • How can we improve our outreach to reach more prospective participants?

  • Developing new programmes

  • Developing partnerships with other organisations

  • Evaluating our impact

  • Are interested in developing the field of AI safety, and motivated by our vision and mission

  • Are experienced in leadership, operational tasks and taking ownership of projects

    • We are interested in seeing applications from people from different backgrounds

  • Are organised and able to prioritise

    • There are many moving parts in this role

    • Able to prioritise effectively - to stay on top of urgent tasks while not losing sight of the important ones

  • Are adaptable

    • This role may grow and change as the organisation does

    • There are a large variety of tasks, and new ones will likely arise

    • Things will inevitably go wrong—able to handle things when things go wrong

  • Are impact-driven

    • Driven to make ML4Good a cost-effective way to improve the field of AI safety
