Position Overview :

Our client is looking for a chief of staff. This role is incredibly intensive, and your main goal will be to make the leadership team more effective, however you possibly can. You will do ridiculously high volumes of unglamorous work. You will wear many hats, including leading recruiting, hosting events, supporting fundraising, planning offsites, new customer outreach, and goals planning. You'll need great leadership ability, communication skills, and be able to absorb new information very quickly.

Deeply mission driven : You understand that the path to building a game-changing interpretability product will not be easy and are prepared to put in the hard work every day. You put the team before yourself and are fully committed to advancing their understanding of AI.

Thoughtful and pragmatic : You approach your work and interactions with others with nuance and humility. You think deeply about all angles of a problem, not just the one you advocate for. You operate with the understanding that not everything can be perfect.

If you share their values and have at least four years of relevant experience, they encourage you to apply and join them in shaping the future of how they design AI systems.
