About the role
- This is equal parts community strategy and operational execution - you'll need to be as comfortable designing a workshop curriculum with student group leaders as you are negotiating a venue contract or managing a speaker's travel logistics.

- Lead participant selection in collaboration with AISST and MAIA, ensuring cohort quality and diversity across partnering university groups
- Design workshop programming: session formats, discussion structures, speaker slots, and career programming
- Build relationships with faculty and research group leads to develop workshop concepts that serve genuine research needs
- Own end-to-end execution: venue, logistics, programming design, speaker coordination, and participant experience
- As the portfolio grows, take on a managerial dimension - coordinating contractors, volunteers, or support staff to run larger events effectively
- Own and run CBAI's monthly Cambridge AI safety networking events, serving as the connective tissue between researchers, students, and practitioners across the city
Nice to have
- Existing relationships in the AI safety, AI governance, or broader Cambridge research community
- Experience with residential or retreat-style event formats
- Familiarity with the Cambridge and greater Boston venue and vendor landscape
- Experience working with or within university student organizations or academic departments
