Résumé du poste

The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) is seeking a Senior Manager for the Special Projects team in San Francisco. You will own high-priority initiatives across research, public engagement, and policy, turningAmbiguity into concrete workstreams and milestones.

You’ll work closely with leadership to build scalable operating models, drive cross-functional execution, and measure impact while maintaining accountability and speed in a fast-growing organization.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, business strategy, GTM strategy, program management, or a strategy/operations role at a high-growth company.
• Proven ability to take projects from an ambiguous starting point to a finished outcome with limited guidance.
• Strong data, modeling, and decision-support skills.
• Experience scaling a team, function, or program, and/or launching something into market.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to distill complexity for leadership and non-specialist audiences.

Responsabilités

• Take a fuzzy mandate or priority from leadership and turn it into a scoped plan, timeline, and set of concrete deliverables, defining owners, sequencing dependencies, and managing the moving pieces across teams, agencies, and partners.
• Design and stand up new processes, systems, or programs that don’t yet exist at CAIS, building operating cadences and repeatable mechanisms so they can run and scale without depending on any one person.
• Lead scaling and go-to-market efforts for new initiatives, from initial strategy through execution and iteration.
• Dig into data to diagnose problems, size opportunities, and make the case for a course of action, evaluating new opportunities quickly using research, data, and judgment to assess impact, feasibility, cost, and risk.
• Partner directly with leadership and cross-functional teams as a trusted operator on their highest-priority problems, establishing accountability across internal teams, vendors, agencies, and external partners.
• Influence without authority: pre-wire decisions, surface risks early, and manage trade-offs to keep cross-functional work moving in lockstep.
• Own governance and reporting on the initiatives you run, maintaining a clear view of program health and the broader portfolio, and keeping leadership informed without needing to be asked.
• Use data and retrospectives to improve outcomes over time and turn successful approaches into reusable systems and playbooks.
• Move between projects as priorities shift, re-scoping and re-prioritizing without losing momentum on any of them.
