How to Apply for Communications and Content Manager
at AI Safety Connect
🏢 About AI Safety Connect
AI Safety Connect is a niche, invitation-only event series focused on practical AI safety pathways, making it a mission-driven organization at the forefront of one of the most critical fields of our time. Working here means contributing to the safe development of AI that benefits humanity, alongside a community of leading thinkers and practitioners. The company's remote-first culture and exclusive events offer a unique blend of impact, flexibility, and intellectual engagement.
About This Role
As the Communications and Content Manager, you will own the entire communications ecosystem—from social media and email campaigns to media relations and creative production for international events. Your work will directly amplify AI Safety Connect's message to funders, media, and the AI safety community, shaping public discourse on safe AI development. This role is central to building the organization's brand and driving engagement across digital channels.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with monitoring social media and scheduling posts for the week, followed by drafting a newsletter about an upcoming event. You'll then collaborate with the events team on a design asset for a speaker announcement, and later pitch a story to a tech journalist. The afternoon could involve analyzing email campaign metrics and planning a content calendar for the next month, all while coordinating with remote team members across time zones.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who AI Safety Connect Is Looking For
- Has 3+ years of experience in communications, content creation, or a related field, with a demonstrated ability to manage end-to-end campaigns.
- Possesses strong writing and storytelling skills, particularly in translating complex technical concepts into accessible, compelling narratives for diverse audiences.
- Is proficient with social media management tools (e.g., Hootsuite) and email marketing platforms (e.g., Mailchimp), and can analyze performance metrics to optimize content.
- Has hands-on experience producing design assets (e.g., Canva, Adobe Suite) and managing multiple projects simultaneously, ideally in a remote, fast-paced environment.
📝 Tips for Applying to AI Safety Connect
Tailor your resume to highlight specific achievements in digital content creation, media outreach, and event collateral production—quantify results where possible (e.g., 'increased social media engagement by 40%').
In your cover letter, explicitly connect your experience to AI safety or a related technical field (e.g., tech policy, ethics) to show genuine interest in the mission.
Include a portfolio or links to past work samples—especially design assets, social media campaigns, or articles you've written—to demonstrate your creative and strategic range.
Research AI Safety Connect's past events and content (blog, social media) before applying, and mention specific examples of how you would enhance their current communications.
Address the remote nature of the role by citing experience with asynchronous communication tools (e.g., Slack, Trello) and self-directed project management.
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
["Your passion for AI safety and how it aligns with the company's mission of enabling human flourishing through practical safety pathways.", "Proven ability to manage diverse communications channels (social media, email, media) with concrete examples of successful campaigns or content you've led.", 'Your creative skills in producing design assets and event materials, especially for high-profile international events.', 'Your experience in media outreach and storytelling, including pitching stories and building relationships with journalists.']

Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Overlooking the need for design skills; failing to provide a portfolio or examples of visual content will weaken your candidacy.
