Policy Advisor / Senior Policy Advisor Control AI

Policy Advisor

ControlAI

Washington D.C.

Role Description

We’re hiring a dynamic, strategic advocate to brief members of Congress and the broader US government on the grave national security threat posed by superintelligent AI. This role, one of our first hires in the United States, will report to our Executive Director, Connor Leahy, and is central to growing ControlAI’s campaign to prohibit superintelligence.

At its heart, this position is about building a broad, bipartisan base of support. We'll likely hire more than one Policy Advisor, and are interested in a wide range of candidates, including:

• Individuals with experience in US national security

• Candidates with media and communications skills or experience

• Former Hill staffers

• People with strong conservative networks and bona-fides

A typical day might involve emailing dozens of legislative staffers in the morning, supporting a senior leader delivering a briefing over lunch, holding meetings with congressional offices in the afternoon, and working to refine our briefing materials in the evening. Successful candidates will thrive in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment that operates more like a fast growing startup than a typical nonprofit. They’ll demonstrate exceptional persistence and won’t be deterred by cold outreach and hearing “no” dozens of times.
