Job description

About the company

the company’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

the company is looking for a Recruiter to partner with our Communications team. This team tells the company’s story across corporate, product, executive, and internal communications. In this role, you will be the team’s primary recruiter. You will own searches from intake through offer, and you will advise leaders on where the talent is, what it costs, and how to win it. The best communicators are rarely looking, so finding them is the job. As the team grows, you may also support hiring for Brand and Marketing.

Key responsibilities

• Have a passion for AI’s potential to positively impact the world, and a realistic view of its risks and limitations
• Have recruited for communications, PR or adjacent roles, and understand what great looks like in that craft
• Know how to find and engage candidates who are passive through a variety of creative channels
• Build trust with senior leaders, and have the confidence to push back with data
• Write clearly and pay close attention to detail, because candidates and comms leaders will notice both
• Run a tight, high-touch process that respects candidates’ time and helps hiring managers decide quickly
• Turn hiring data into clear recommendations, not just status updates
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment and handle executive and confidential searches with discretion

Preferred qualifications

• Have 10+ years of full-lifecycle recruiting experience, with a track record of closing senior, hard-to-fill roles
• Experience hiring for a high-growth technology company whose public narrative matters
• A network across media, agency, and in-house communications talent
• Experience supporting executive hiring
• Experience using AI tools in your daily work, and are curious about where they can take recruiting next

Location-based hybrid policy:

Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship:

We do sponsor visas! However, we aren’t able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you’re interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we’re building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

Your safety matters to us.

To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that the company recruiters only contact you from@the company.comemail addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of the company. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate the company recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day.

How we’re different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At the company we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We’re an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to the company, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.

Come work with us!

the company is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
