About the Role
This role is for someone who wants to operate at the center of a fast-growing AI alignment organization. You'll write for funders and the AI alignment community, sit close to strategy, and help build the operational spine of an organization aiming to scale substantially over the next few years.
Responsibilities
- Translate a stream of updates into prioritized, actionable tasks, track the big projects and the minutiae alike, and own the follow-through.
- Draft funding proposals, one-pagers, donor memos, and AI-alignment-facing communications.
- Scale up our grantmaker two-pager pipeline.
- Hold the org accountable as it scales, running the daily “did this get done?” across contractors, staff, and collaborators so commitments don't quietly slip.
- Keep the funder, partner, and opportunity CRM current so nothing goes cold.
- Talk with technical researchers and government-relations people and turn their work into proposals for extended, future work.
- Turn each new funder, program, or collaboration into a tracked workstream with a real owner and a real deadline.
Requirements
- Excellent writing and written communication.
- Strong operational instincts, prioritization, and project-management skills.
- Genuine familiarity with AI safety and the alignment landscape.
- Full-time availability.
- Willingness to travel occasionally (AI safety events, DC).

About the Company
- The AI Alignment Foundation (AIAF) is a 501(c)(3) that does hands-on AI alignment research and backs promising directions that typical funding models overlook.
- Our active portfolio includes gradient routing, self-other overlap, endogenous steering resistance, and self-interpretation adapters.
- We're funded by the UK AI Security Institute, Amaranth Foundation, Coefficient Giving, AE Studio, and other large philanthropic donors.
- We collaborate with researchers at Anthropic, DeepMind, and Redwood Research, across academia, and with DARPA and other US government research programs.
- We believe alignment is solvable and that people just haven't tried hard enough.
- Strikingly little genuine alignment research is happening anywhere in the world.
- AIAF exists to scale alignment research, doing the actual research and funding the neglected bets.
