About us
Stop The AI Race is a movement aiming to stop the development of increasingly powerful AI models. To achieve our mission, we organize public demonstrations outside companies in order to place strategic pressure on key actors, such as government and lab leaders. We’re a small team working with a growing volunteer base and a coalition of AI safety, labor and civic organizations, we’re based in the Bay Area, and we organized the largest AI protest in the US.
The role
The Organizing & Operations Lead plans and runs the logistics behind our public actions, where our campaigns are about two-months long, and manages the organization’s day-to-day operations. You’ll report directly to the founder. See our website for more details on our campaigns.
Responsibilities
- Plan marches and protests from start to finish: permits, police liaison, routes, venues, staging, sound and supplies
- Recruit, coordinate and keep in touch with volunteers
- Manage timelines and project plans across each protest cycle
- Coordinate with partner organizations, including AI safety groups and labor unions
- Support press work: press releases, media lists and outreach to journalists
- Hire and manage contractors such as local organizers, designers and event staff
- Handle finance operations: expenses, receipts, monthly reconciliation and grant reporting
What we’re looking for
- Experience running logistics for in-person events of 100 to 1,000 people, including permits and police coordination. Backgrounds in campaign field work, union organizing or groups like Sunrise or 350.org are a good fit.
- Strong organization: you keep a reliable project management system and follow through without being asked
- You’re comfortable working with a wide range of partners, from union representatives to AI researchers
- You share our concern about the risks of frontier AI development and are comfortable being publicly associated with the movement
- Nice to have: experience with labor, healthcare unions or bipartisan coalitions
