Job summary

Responsibilities

Frontier research runs on more than research alone. Behind every model launch, review, and cross-team program is a web of decisions, priorities, and follow-through that keeps hundreds of researchers moving in the same direction.

• Own leadership's time. Shape the week around the leaders' specific, most timely priorities, set agendas so meetings are spent on decisions that move the org forward, and cut what…
• Triage what reaches leadership. Resolve what you can, route what belongs elsewhere, and thoughtfully escalate the rest.
• Enable wise decision-making and follow through. Give leaders what they need to decide quickly, communicate those decisions to collaborators, and track commitments through to…
• See problems coming. Surface resourcing gaps, technical bottlenecks, and stalled action-items before they become blockers.
• Scale leadership voice. Meetings are ephemeral; docs are forever. Draft materials for org-wide announcements, programming, and planning sessions.

• Technical fluency to engage substantively with researchers: you can follow a discussion about an RL training run, read a set of eval results and form reasonable hypotheses about…
• Clear writing: you turn dense, jargon-heavy material into summaries and plans that technical collaborators across the RL org and beyond can act on
• An eye for great dashboards: you can look at data visualizations and scope improvements that make lessons at-a-glance clearer and grounded.
• Strong follow-through and attention to detail; nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.
