We continually pursue scalable and sustainable ways to optimise research, striving to ensure we cultivate an environment where people can be both highly collaborative and deeply creative, making responsible and pioneering research progress at pace. We build strong relationships with teams, bringing clarity to ambiguity and providing stability during change. We are active, curious and thoughtful about deepening our understanding of people; their preferences, their needs and their work. We use our coaching skills to support and enable people and teams to do their best work together. We continually deepen our domain knowledge, working alongside researchers and engineers to ensure all our work is advancing towards our mission.
About us:
We're a dedicated scientific community, committed to “solving intelligence” and ensuring our technology is used for widespread public benefit.
We've built a supportive and inclusive environment where collaboration is encouraged and learning is shared freely. We don't set limits based on what others think is possible or impossible. We drive ourselves and inspire each other to push boundaries and achieve ambitious goals.
We constantly iterate on our workplace experience with the goal of ensuring it encourages a balanced life. From excellent office facilities through to extensive manager support, we strive to support our people and their needs as effectively as possible.
Our list of benefits is extensive, and we're happy to discuss this further throughout the interview process!
The role:
As a Program Manager, you will lead complex programs stemming from the Governance & Legal space - including Strategic Governance, Legal, and Public Policy & Affairs teams - with strong cross-functional components. You'll need to apply program management methodologies to multiple initiatives simultaneously, balancing progress and risk to deliver sustainable change to meet objectives. You will be adept at navigating through ambiguity, guiding and enabling teams to be both highly creative and collaborative. You will use your expertise to coach others and develop consistent approaches to project and program management.
You will be a strategic partner to leadership, incubating or leading multiple projects, programs, and/or short-term initiatives to support and enable rapid progress in a highly complex space. You will do this through an ability to rapidly learn new context, quickly develop professional relationships, and produce meaningful results in highly ambiguous environments. Given the breadth of work, you will leverage skills ranging from strategic structuring and planning in complex spaces, to team-building and program development, to deep- dive individual execution against singular objectives. You will work with teams across multiple time zones, particularly across the Americas and Europe.

About the employer
We’re a team of scientists, engineers, ethicists and more, committed to solving intelligence, to advance science and benefit humanity.
Our story
We’ve always been fascinated by human intelligence – it shaped the modern world we live in today.
Intelligence allows us to learn, imagine, cooperate, create, communicate, and so much more. By better understanding different aspects of intelligence, we can use this knowledge as inspiration to build novel computer systems that learn to find solutions to difficult problems on their own.
Like the Hubble telescope that helped us look deeper into space, these tools are already expanding human knowledge and making positive global impact. Our long term aim is to solve intelligence, developing more general and capable problem-solving systems, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Guided by safety and ethics, this invention could help society find answers to some of the world’s most pressing and fundamental scientific challenges.
We’re solving intelligence to advance science and benefit humanity. At the heart of this mission is our commitment to act as responsible pioneers in the field of AI, in service of society’s needs and expectations.
