AI Resilience Partner

Why it made the list

This is an unusually high-autonomy leadership opportunity at the intersection of frontier AI, science, philanthropy and institution-building, with a published salary of $200,000–$350,000. Rather than joining another team building an AI product, the AI Resilience Partner will have latitude to identify major vulnerabilities created by increasingly capable AI and build the organisations and technical infrastructure needed to address them. The portfolio could span defensive biosecurity, secure cyber-physical systems, formal verification, AI evaluation and monitoring, compute governance, epistemic infrastructure and economic transition research. The successful candidate will develop investment-style theses, find founders, raise funding, build teams and boards, launch new scientific organisations and serve as a Director across multiple FROs. We picked it because roles combining this level of compensation, intellectual freedom, technical ambition, capital allocation and direct institution-building responsibility are genuinely uncommon.
