Generalist Operations (Remote - Worldwide)

Meetings are usually scheduled in US Eastern Time, and the wider team spans GMT-8 to GMT+1. Visa sponsorship available for US (typically H-1B or O-1A) and expected for UK in coming months, though approval is not guaranteed. A mission-driven nonprofit that runs talent programs focused on advanced AI risk is hiring a generalist to run the business and back-end operations behind its work. The role covers finances, vendor and contractor payments, employment logistics, compliance, grants processing and internal systems, with some support for program operations. The organization is small, high-trust and expected to roughly double in size over the next six months.

What you'll do

• Pay vendors and contractors, supervise outside accountants, and support bookkeeping and the annual audit.
• Handle employment operations including payroll, benefits, onboarding and offboarding, and help keep the organization compliant.
• Run grant processing across several programs, make payments to individuals and organizations, and manage expense processing.
• Identify manual operational work and build systems and automations to remove it, using AI and automation tools where they help.
• Triage the shared inbox and help solve program logistics problems, including occasional busy periods.
• Learn unfamiliar processes quickly and document them clearly for the team.

What you need

• Strong organizational skills and careful tracking of tasks, information and deadlines.
• Clear, concise written communication aimed at the reader's needs.
• Comfort with automation, spreadsheets or no-code tools, and AI tools.
• Self-directed and able to work out unfamiliar processes without step-by-step guidance.
• Ability to join meetings in US Eastern Time for at least part of the working day.
• Interest in AI safety and its ecosystem. Finance, accounting, HR or nonprofit operations experience is helpful but not required.
