    Description

    Evitable's founder has spent years convincing experts to take AI risk seriously. Evitable’s role is to bring this work to a broader audience: sounding the alarm, loudly and publicly, by building a movement ready to take action. Your job is to turn public concern into actionable, organized power.

    This is a senior role requiring an ability to build out a program from the ground up. You’ll build the movement to transform the concerned public into an organized and mobilized base. You will set our movement building strategy and build the team that scales it.

    In this role, you will work closely with the Communications Director. Comms will get the public's attention - your role will be to activate it.

    Benefits

    Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, a 2% 401(k) match, and unlimited paid time off in addition to federal holidays. This is a full-time, in-person role based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S.
