Kairos is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit that accelerates talent into AI safety and policy fields by running scalable programs that mentor, fund, and train researchers and organizers. Its core offerings include SPAR, a large part-time remote research fellowship focused on risks from advanced AI with work accepted at conferences like ICML and NeurIPS; Pathfinder, which funds and mentors university AI safety and policy student groups; Generator, an in-person residency to build operational capacity for the AI safety ecosystem; and intensive residential workshops on AI safety and biosecurity. Kairos emphasizes rapid, scalable interventions to grow researchers, policymakers, and skilled operators, and reports impact metrics such as 1,200+ people supported, 70+ publications, and 160+ organizers supported. The organization is funded by Coefficient Giving and operates internationally with remote and in-person programs.

📋 Description

• Build the talent operations function for the AI safety ecosystem that places early-career talent in high-impact roles and connects talent pipelines across orgs. • Own Kairos’s hiring pipeline end-to-end and build and run processes for new roles. • Source, evaluate, and close candidates and manage screening, trial tasks, references, and offers. • Build hiring infrastructure that lasts and set up the systems, templates, and rubrics for good hiring rounds. • Build relationships with hiring organizations across the AI safety and policy ecosystem. • Proactively match early-career people from SPAR, Pathfinder, GCP, and the broader network to open roles. • Track placement outcomes and improve the matching process over time. • Onboard partner organizations and maintain data quality for the talent database.

🎯 Requirements

• This role requires three things in combination: people intuitions (knowing who’s promising, who’s ready, and who belongs where), relationship skills (being someone that hiring orgs and candidates actually want to work with), and a systems orientation (turning good judgment into infrastructure that scales beyond you). • Direct experience in talent placement, recruiting, or headhunting in AI safety or adjacent spaces is valued. • Experience with hiring, selection, or other processes involving high-stakes decisions about people is valuable. • Existing relationships with organizations in the AI safety ecosystem are valued.

🏖️ Benefits

• Flexible working hours • Highly competitive health insurance • Dental and vision coverage • Generous vacation policy • Professional development budget • Team retreats
