About the role

Deliver workshops that help exceptional people pursue high-impact work in AI safety, biosecurity, and policy. Depending on experience, we consider candidates for the Generalist (Workshops) or Senior Generalist (Workshops) version of this role. We’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis. About Kairos Kairos is a nonprofit accelerating talent into AI safety and policy. In just over two years, we’ve trained 1,200+ people through our flagship programs: • SPAR : The largest AI safety research fellowship, with 800+ mentees per round mentored by researchers from Anthropic, Redwood Research, RAND, MIT, the UK AI Security Institute, and others. • Generator Residency : In partnership with Constellation, a platform for generalist talent to pitch, build, and ship projects that build capacity and infrastructure across the AI safety ecosystem, with advisors from OpenAI, AI Futures Project, METR, and more. • Global Challenges Project : A workshop series introducing promising students to careers in AI safety and biosecurity, run several times a year across Oxford, Boston, and Berkeley. • Pathfinder Fellowship : Helping grow the global network of AI safety university groups from a few dozen to nearly 100, with $9.5M in funding over the next two years to support their work. We see ourselves as a portfolio of highly impactful projects in a fast-evolving field. Over the next six months, we expect to double in size and launch several new initiatives addressing critical gaps in the ecosystem.   The Role The Global Challenges Project (GCP) runs three-day residential workshops that help talented individuals explore careers in AI safety and biosecurity. Over the past few years, GCP has run dozens of workshops for 400+ students, mostly in Oxford, Boston, and Berkeley. GCP has a long and successful track record and became part of Kairos in early 2026. We’re now expanding GCP into a full portfolio of workshops serving different audiences and career stages, with the ambition of becoming the leading fieldbuilding workshop organizer in AI safety and biosecurity. This means building new programs, new formats, and the systems to deliver reliably at scale. We’re looking for a generalist to help deliver our workshops. You’ll own the operational backbone of our events, including outreach, venues, travel, admissions logistics, guest coordination, inventory, and the systems that hold it all together. You’ll also attend some of our workshops and help run them in person. This job requires agency as you’ll own the delivery of many key aspects of our workshops. You’ll need to spot problems before they happen, and improve our strategy and systems after every event. This role offers excellent opportunities for progression, and your scope and responsibility will grow with our portfolio.   What You’ll Do • Own operational workstreams end to end. For each workshop, you’ll take responsibility for workstreams such as outreach, venue search and contracting, catering and dietary needs, participant and guest travel, inventory and materials, and on-site logistics. • Run admissions and participant operations. You’ll build application and RSVP forms, help coordinate selection processes, send decisions, run onboarding communications, and make sure every participant arrives informed and prepared. • Coordinate guests. High-quality guests are central to our workshops’ impact. You’ll track invitations, chase confirmations, and act as a point of contact so guests have a smooth experience from first email to follow-up. • Deliver workshops in person. You’ll travel to some of our workshops (predominantly in the UK and US) and help run them on the ground. • Build systems that scale. We run our events on Notion, Airtable, Linear, and a growing set of automations and custom code.
