Role: CBRNE Safeguards & Enforcement Operations Specialist

Location: San Francisco, CA | Washington, DC | New York, NY preferred; remote considered for exceptional candidates

Duration: 6-month W2 contract

Pay: $130-$145/hr. on W2, based on experience.

Russell Tobin is supporting a leading AI technology company in hiring a CBRNE Safeguards & Enforcement Operations Specialist to support a highly sensitive and rapidly evolving safety and security program.

This is an urgent contract need focused on strengthening Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE) controls across trusted-access and third-party enterprise environments. The ideal candidate will bring deep subject-matter expertise in CBRNE risk, safeguards, compliance, enforcement, or threat mitigation and will be comfortable translating complex safety requirements into practical operational controls.

What You’ll Do

• Support the development, implementation, and operation of safeguards designed to mitigate CBRNE-related risks.
• Help establish and enforce controls governing trusted access to sensitive capabilities, systems, or information.
• Evaluate third-party and enterprise use cases for potential CBRNE safety, security, misuse, or compliance concerns.
• Develop operational procedures for identifying, escalating, investigating, and responding to potential policy or safeguards violations.
• Translate CBRNE subject-matter expertise into clear, actionable controls that can be consistently applied by operational teams.
• Partner cross-functionally with safety, security, policy, legal, technical, and operational stakeholders.
• Assess emerging CBRNE threat scenarios and identify gaps in existing safeguards or enforcement processes.
• Support risk reviews, investigations, exception handling, and other high-sensitivity operational decisions.
• Develop documentation, playbooks, escalation criteria, and decision frameworks for CBRNE-related cases.
• Provide expert judgment in situations where established policies may not fully address novel or rapidly evolving risks.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant professional experience in CBRNE, CBRN, counterproliferation, weapons-of-mass-destruction risk, biosecurity, chemical security, nuclear security, explosives risk, or a closely related field.
• Strong understanding of safeguards, threat assessment, risk mitigation, compliance, enforcement, or access-control frameworks.
• Experience applying specialized subject-matter expertise within an operational environment rather than solely conducting academic or theoretical research.
• Ability to evaluate ambiguous or novel risk scenarios and make sound, defensible judgments.
• Experience developing or implementing policies, controls, standard operating procedures, investigative processes, or enforcement frameworks.
• Strong written communication skills with the ability to translate highly technical or specialized concepts for cross-functional audiences.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment involving sensitive and potentially high-consequence issues.
• High degree of discretion, judgment, and attention to detail.

Preferred Background

Candidates may come from a range of relevant environments, including:

• U.S. government or national security organizations
• CBRNE/WMD programs
• Counterproliferation or nonproliferation
• Defense or intelligence
• Homeland security or emergency preparedness
• Biosecurity or biosafety
• Chemical, radiological, or nuclear security
• Threat assessment or safeguards enforcement
• Trust & safety, investigations, or security operations involving high-consequence risk

Experience working at the intersection of emerging technology, AI safety, cybersecurity, or technology risk is a strong plus but is not required.

Work Arrangement
