Role Description:
We are expanding our U.S. policy team and seeking two policy analysts to drive engagement with policymakers, media, and civil society on AI safety and security. This role reports up to ControlAI’s US Director, and will work closely with global senior leadership.
Superintelligent AI presents profound challenges for national security, economic stability, and democratic governance. As concern about AI risk grows in Washington, we need credible, politically attuned voices to shape the policy debate.
This role involves developing AI policy solutions, meeting directly with politicians and civil society to advocate about the risks and solution, and building coalitions within relevant political circles to ensure AI safety remains a bipartisan priority.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Provide expert briefings to policymakers and civil servants on superintelligence risks and governance solutions.
- Apply a results-driven “campaigning” approach toward policy goals, ensuring commitments to action and coalition growth across government, academia, and industry.
- Test messaging, iterate fast, and continually optimize based on feedback and results.
- Track, analyze, and report on progress toward key deliverables—e.g. “How do we hit 30 engaged members of Congress by June?”
Ideal Qualifications:
- BSc. or MSc. in Computer Science, Economics, Public Policy, or a related field.
- 2+ years of experience in U.S. policy, government, think tanks, or advocacy.
- Strong political instincts and deep familiarity with conservative or progressive policy networks.
- Relentlessly goal-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by ownership. Excited by directions like “present to this committee, figure it out.”
- Exceptional communication skills—clear, persuasive, and audience-aware across written, spoken, and visual formats.
- Past experience with AI safety, another technical subject, or the ability to learn quickly about new technologies.
We encourage applications from candidates who may not meet every criterion but are passionate about our mission.
