Skills & experience
Constellation is an independent research center that brings together people throughout the AI safety ecosystem to accelerate insight, research, and talent through better cooperation. Unlike a conference or summit, Constellation operates continuously, in the form of a physical workspace as well as conference-style talks, workshops, and training bootcamps. Continuous operation allows for relationships and conversations to develop over time, meaningfully fostering trust, collaboration, and shared insight. It also makes Constellation a natural field-building hub by rapidly inspiring, orienting, and connecting people who are newer to the field.
Based in Berkeley, CA, our shared workspace hosts over 200 people per week across dozens of AI safety organizations in nonprofits, academia, industry, and government. Hundreds of other researchers spend time at Constellation for shorter visits each year. We believe this is the strongest and highest-output network of AI safety researchers in the world; dozens of participants in past Constellation programs have gone on to safety-focused roles at companies such as METR, Redwood Research, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and the US and UK Safety Institutes.
About the roleAs Program Coordinator on the Mobilization team, you'll develop deep understanding of how people enter and grow within the AI safety ecosystem (through employment, advisory roles, contractor arrangements, incubation, and more) and help design and deliver the programs that support those pathways.
You'll gather insights from candidates, fellowship participants, and hiring organizations to identify where people get stuck or where opportunities are underutilized, and work with the team to improve how we match people to the right opportunities at the right moment. This role is perfect for someone energized by the talent and career development space, genuinely curious about what makes career transitions succeed, and excited to build foundational program management skills while contributing directly to the AI safety talent pipeline.
- Gather structured feedback to understand what's working and where talent experiences friction in the AI safety ecosystem.
- Design and iterate on workflows, communications, and key touchpoints based on what you learn.
- Identify and help document findings, surface patterns, and make recommendations for experience improvements.
- Build and maintain operational systems that keep mobilization efforts running including databases, workflows, and tracking tools (e.g., Airtable, Asana).
- Support data entry, reporting, and process documentation with input from various stakeholders.
- Serve as a reliable point of contact for program participants, responding to questions, keeping people informed, and ensuring they feel supported through key moments.
- Help coordinate events and convenings, owning logistics and contributing to preparation.
You may be a good fit if:
- You are organized and detail-oriented; you close loops, track follow-ups, and don't let things fall through the cracks.
- You communicate clearly and warmly with a wide range of people, from early-career fellows to senior researchers.
- You are eager to learn in a fast-moving, mission-driven environment and ask good questions when uncertain.
- You have a genuine service mindset; you're naturally curious about what people need and motivated to help.
- You are energized by the prospect of building something from scratch in a field that's still taking shape.
- You think AI might have transformative effects in the coming years and want to help build the infrastructure to navigate that well.
Bonus experience:
- Background in program coordination, nonprofit operations, or community management
- Familiarity with tools like Airtable, Asana, or similar
- Exposure to the AI safety or EA communities
The base pay range for this role is $105,000 – $133,000 per year.

- 401(k) with employer match
- Employer-paid commuter benefits
- High-quality health, dental, and vision insurance
