Staff Technical Writer

Role overview Lead written communications for an AI research and safety organization, making technical findings clear and accurate for researchers, decision-makers, supporters, and public audiences. You’ll collaborate with research and red-team teams on reports and research summaries, while shaping the organization’s broader editorial voice across web, newsletters, and public commentary. The role has no direct reports at launch and requires managing several projects independently.

Responsibilities - Partner with researchers early in projects to identify the central message and write reports and research communications based on technical findings. - Edit academic papers for clarity and scholarly presentation, including formatting for submission and working with LaTeX where needed. - Turn research into accessible summaries, and write or co-write blog posts, newsletters, position papers, and opinion pieces. - Maintain website content, including evergreen pages, and coordinate presentation with digital media colleagues. - Set the editorial direction for a quarterly newsletter and lead an annual report or year-in-review narrative. - Develop and maintain organization-wide messaging, a house style and voice guide, and consistent language across key communications.

Requirements - Substantive experience with AI, either through research or engineering work, or through in-depth reporting and writing about AI. - Ability to independently own writing projects from planning through completion and to handle several concurrent assignments. - For writing-focused candidates: at least three years of professional writing experience and published work that explains complex technical topics accurately and clearly. - For technical candidates: at least three years of research or engineering experience in machine learning or a closely related field, plus published writing in at least two formats. - Interest in AI safety and willingness to learn about the field.

Nice to have Working knowledge of machine learning; experience with academic publishing, peer review, conference submissions, or LaTeX; a record of writing, ghostwriting, or editing opinion pieces; and a background in science journalism, research communications, or research writing.
