Program Manager, AGI Preparedness Network

Program Manager - AGI Preparedness Network

Remote | Commitment: 30-40 hrs per week | Preferred start: early November 2026

Help people turn an interest in advanced AI risks into impactful work.

ENAIS is becoming the AGI Preparedness Network. We are hiring a Program Manager to lead Better Futures and AIS Collab, strengthen delivery systems, and use program evidence to guide future development and fundraising.

The Better Futures Fellowship is in active delivery with established curriculum and operations support. You will lead execution and build the systems the program needs to improve and grow.

The Programs

Better Futures is a nine-week fellowship: five weeks of facilitated discussion followed by a four-week guided project phase. Participants examine futures shaped by advanced AI and develop projects in preparedness, governance, research, or field-building.

AIS Collab provides the recruitment and cohort infrastructure. Across 10 program iterations, it has received 2,288 applications, trained 185 facilitators, worked with more than 65 local groups, and reached participants in more than 30 countries.

Better Futures and AIS Collab are your initial priorities.

What You Will Own

You will be accountable for planning and delivery across Better Futures. This includes:

• Maintain the program plan, budget, risks, and key decisions.
• Coordinate the Operations Coordinator, Curriculum Lead, facilitators, mentors, and external support.
• Make routine program decisions within the agreed strategy and budget.
• Use participant feedback, program data, and project outcomes to improve each cohort.
• Improve the systems, documentation, and handovers that support delivery.
• Assess partnerships and future program opportunities.
• Lead program fundraising, with board support on strategy and funder relationships.

The Operations Coordinator leads recurring administration and participant communication. The Curriculum Lead leads curriculum quality and facilitator preparation. You will keep delivery aligned, resolve gaps, and use results to guide the next stage of the programs.

What You'll Focus on First

• Operating handover and establishing a clear working rhythm with the team and board.
• Take over ongoing delivery and evaluation, and prepare the next Better Futures cohort.
• Plan future cohorts using evidence from current delivery.
• Set up clear outcome reporting and cost tracking.
• Build a fundraising plan, using results from delivery to support future applications.
