## About CivAI

CivAI is a non-profit that educates the public about AI risks using live software demonstrations. To date, CivAI has delivered 100+ briefings to organizations across civil society (on AI-cyber risks, elder fraud, and loss of control) and the US government (on biological risks, elections, and more). Our work has been featured on national television by ABC News and Scripps News, and in print by the New York Times, the Washington Post, TIME, CNN, and many others.

Over the past few quarters, we have been running experiments on how best to communicate AI risks at scale across the United States. Experiments have included:

• Publishing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal
• Launching interactive explainers and even a game
• Partnering with creators to post short videos
• Authoring articles, blogs, and graphics for diverse audiences
In order for the world to meet the moment, it is our conviction that many, many more people need to understand this epochal technology and its concomitant risks. Only then will there be sufficient pressure for careful, conscientious development of AI — a stark contrast to the haphazard race we're facing now.

For this role, we invite you to come join us in this important work of communicating AI risks to the billions of people across the world who deserve to know.

## About the role

The role's key responsibility will be to own CivAI's presence across social platforms. This means posting regularly, engaging with our audience, and growing our following on Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and other platforms. We're looking for someone with a proven track record of building an audience—whether for an organization or yourself—who can maintain a consistent cadence of high-quality posts that keep CivAI in the conversation. You'll turn our demos, launches, articles, and press hits into compelling social content, and stay plugged into the AI discourse so we can join it at the right moments.

## Key responsibilities

• Owning CivAI's social media presence across Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and other platforms.
• Posting regularly with a consistent cadence (e.g. daily on Twitter, 1x/week on LinkedIn).
• Turning CivAI's demos, launches, articles, and press hits into compelling social content.
• Engaging with our audience and the broader AI conversation online.
• Running paid social campaigns when relevant (we have ad credits to deploy).
• Measuring what's working and iterating on our approach.
## You might be a good fit if you:

• Have a proven track record of building an audience on social media—either for an organization or yourself. Please share examples in your application.
• Are plugged into the AI conversation online and understand the landscape of who's talking about what.
• Can move quickly to capitalize on timely moments and news.
• Have good judgment about what will resonate with a general audience vs. a niche one.
• Are comfortable with both organic posting and paid social campaigns.
• Feel comfortable wearing multiple hats beyond your core responsibilities. We operate as a startup and consider any task within scope.
• Are deeply aligned with CivAI's mission of helping the world better understand the implications and risks of advanced AI.
## Salary and benefits

• The role is full-time and on-site at our office in Berkeley.
• The salary range is $90,000 - $130,000.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• We provide catered lunch and dinner at our office every weekday.
• We cannot sponsor visas at this time. (However, please feel free to get in touch, as we hope to do so in the future.)
## Application process

• Initial application (1.5 hrs) — Resume and short answer questions.
• Hiring manager interview (1 hr) — We'll work through a problem together and discuss current priorities at CivAI.
• Team interview (45 min) — You'll have a conversation with another member of our team.
• Written take-home test (3 hrs) — You'll be given a take-home challenge specific to your role.
• Reference checks — We'll reach out to the references you provide.
• Final round interview (4 hrs) — You'll work through one more problem, explain your past work, and speak with both founders.
*CivAI is an equal opportunity workplace, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds regardless of race, color, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, socioeconomic status, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.*
