Job description

The Center for AI Safety (CAIS) is a leading research and advocacy organization focused on mitigating societal-scale risks from AI. We address AI's toughest challenges through technical research, field‑building initiatives, and policy engagement, along with our sister organization in DC, Center for AI Safety Action Fund.

Public awareness remains the single biggest bottleneck in AI safety. Fortunately, the public's interest in AI safety is growing extremely quickly. Videos, articles, and social posts about AI safety are now reaching millions, and public curiosity is compounding by the week. Our growth depends on someone who shows up every day across platforms and actively works the comment sections, seeding the conversations that carry our ideas to the power‑listeners and clippers who spread them.

We're hiring a Social Media & Community Manager to run CAIS's daily presence across platforms, and to build the community and conversations that move our ideas through the culture. You will report to the Head of Public Engagement.

What You'll Do

• Translate technical research into clear, story‑driven social copy.
• Own the content calendar and publishing strategy across social and our other owned surfaces: what we post, where, and when.
• Work the comments: reply, hold the frame, and seed discussion on and around our posts.
• Build the amplifier network (creators, clippers, and power‑listeners who re‑share us) via direct outreach and ready‑to‑run clips.
• Run social listening, and stand up the social playbook, calendar, and stack (within the brand system) for future hires to scale.

What We're Looking For

• 5–7 years on brand or creator social accounts, with audience growth to show.
• A strong writer who makes technical ideas land in plain language.
• Native platform fluency and a community‑builder's instinct.
• Exceptional judgment and autonomy.
