- ’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.

Обязанности
- We’re hiring a strategic advisor to join the Strategic Advisory team within Policy Advocacy, part of ’s Public Policy team. This is an individual contributor role at the strategic heart of ’s policy function — designed for an operator with 8–10+ years of experience who wants to drive clarity on ’s most consequential policy positions, partner with cross-functional peers, and be deployed as a strategic resource across fast-moving policy work.
- Policy Advocacy turns ’s policy priorities into evidence-backed positions, research, campaigns, and partnerships — distinct from government relations and communications, but essential to enabling both. This role is designed to complement our existing Strategic Advisory capacity, which owns the documentation, translation, and deployment of ’s positions so that external-facing teams can use them. You’ll bring experience and judgment into the room, hold responsibility for a portfolio of strategically important positions, and partner as a peer with leaders across the policy, legal, comms, and product policy functions, working with colleagues on teams across the company on positions and messaging.
- The ideal candidate is effective across multiple stakeholders even through substantive disagreement, prioritizes closure over deliberation, and organized and process-focused but able to operate in ambiguity. Successful candidates will have experience building structure where none exists, including under unclear ownership and shifting priorities. We prize doers willing to do the work directly, no matter how small or large. Strategic and systems thinkers that understand how individual positions and engagements fit together across the broader policy landscape are encouraged to apply.
- Examples of work in this role might include producing a position package end-to-end: pressure-testing the position with internal SMEs (policy, legal, research), identifying and closing gaps, and producing the full set of deployable materials. Translating new technical research or policy analysis into policy-ready materials on short timelines for use by federal, state, and international affairs teams. Building and running a structured process to resolve a contested position and documenting the outcome. Leading the cross-functional policy strategy for a major launch, including alignment across policy, legal, comms, and research on external narrative, broader policy implications, and rapid-response plans. Standing up a cross-functional working group on an emerging platform or corporate issue, including scoping the problem, driving alignment across teams, producing a written strategy, and standing up the workstream. Distilling ’s approach to a complex or evolving issue into a deployable narrative, and integrating the output into the canon.
- This role offers a rare opportunity to shape ’s policy voice across the most consequential debates in AI governance, while operating with the pace, pragmatism, and service orientation of a top-tier public affairs function.
- Own a portfolio of ’s highest-priority policy positions, including position papers, FAQs, talking points, and fact sheets — managing versions, intended audiences, strategic relevance, and internal access.
- Drive organizational consensus on contested technical policy positions — working with subject matter experts across federal affairs, state affairs, international affairs, national security, legal, comms, and research — moderating dissent, calling the question, and closing the loop on documented positions.
- Develop and test message framings with internal and external audiences, iterating quickly and bringing rigor to what lands and why.
- Translate technical research, model capability, and scientific content into policy-ready language for federal, state, and international policymakers, their staff, and legislators.
- Serve federal, state, and international affairs teams as an internal senior advisor — improving their processes, standing up shared material libraries, and building the collateral and strategies they need to be effective in their markets.
- Drive complex, cross-functional policy projects to resolution when no single team is set up to own them end to end — including model launch policy strategy, narrative coordination on contested issues, and working groups on emerging topics.
- Stand up rapid-response playbooks when time-sensitive events require to move in days rather than weeks, coordinating across legal, research, and external affairs.
- Partner with policy communications to ensure message and voice consistency across ’s policy surface area.
- Anticipate emerging issues, proactively work with internal experts to develop ’s perspective, and make sure we have the materials we need before external pressure emerges.
Требования
- Have direct experience with message development and testing for policy, advocacy, or communications audiences.
- Have experience translating technical material (scientific, engineering, or deeply technical policy) for non-expert decision-makers.
- Are comfortable operating at breadth across multiple policy issue areas simultaneously, and can develop fluency in new ones quickly. Interest in and some experience with technology policy is important; deep AI policy expertise is a plus, not a prerequisite.
- Have experience building or running rapid-response processes, crisis playbooks, or signature programs in fast-moving environments.
- Can serve internal clients — federal, state, and international affairs colleagues — without needing to own external relationships yourself. You find that service posture energizing, not limiting.
Будет плюсом
- Have 8–10+ years of professional experience in corporate public affairs, management consulting, government relations, policy or political campaigns, think tanks, or similar fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
- Experience in technology, financial services, energy, pharma, or other heavily regulated industries.
- Demonstrated ability to anticipate emerging issues and develop organizational perspectives proactively.
- Experience designing and running a signature program or flagship campaign end-to-end.
- Experience translating topics to policy-relevant audiences through communications, visual storytelling, marketing, or advocacy.
