GovAI was founded to help humanity navigate the transition to a world with advanced AI. One of our main pathways to accomplish that objective is by helping a growing number of talented individuals enter the AI governance space, skill up, and do high-impact work. We are seeking a Talent Systems Specialist to support that effort.
The primary goal of this role is to help GovAI scale our talent programs and core team hiring in response to rapidly growing demand. In just the last year, the volume of fellowship applications we receive per cohort has grown from 300 to 1,500. The Talent Systems Specialist will lead the design and coordination of our large-scale hiring initiatives, while also building and continuously improving the systems and processes we use to identify and select top talent.
This role also offers unique potential for growth depending on the role-holder’s interests. This includes paths like: broader ownership of GovAI systems as an internal Product Manager; deeper engagement with talent identification and decision-making as a Recruiting Lead; or end-to-end oversight of the GovAI employee experience and culture as a Head of People.
