Field Strategist

About the role

You will operate as a core intervention architect within Atlas Computing, owning the end to end scoping and validation of high impact interventions that address society scale AI risks. You will coordinate directly with domain experts and funders to translate ambiguous opportunity spaces into clearly defined intervention briefs and staffing plans. Each intervention you manage will be designed to be handed off to a dedicated career professional for execution, avoiding reliance on generic generalists. You will map context, surface coordination and market failures, and iteratively refine intervention pathways with stakeholders to ensure feasibility and sufficiency. You will work in tight collaboration with the cohort of Founders, aligning your intervention pipelines with their focus areas while maintaining independent ownership of the scoping process. You will simultaneously juggle multiple potential interventions, balancing priorities across AI infrastructure security and epistemic security domains. Your role is to convert ambiguous resilience challenges into concrete, staffable projects that can move from concept to implementation. You will validate each intervention against expert judgment and funding realities to ensure it is robust enough to warrant dedicated execution.

Key facts

What you'll do

Identify and scope a portfolio of potential interventions that address critical AI resilience challenges across infrastructure security and epistemic security domains.

Conduct initial context mapping for each intervention, surfacing stakeholders, coordination failures, and systemic risks that justify external intervention.

Collaborate with domain experts to stress test intervention assumptions, validate technical feasibility, and refine implementation pathways.

Engage with funders and institutional partners to assess funding viability, stakeholder appetite, and the sufficiency of proposed interventions.

Design intervention briefs and product requirement documents that clearly articulate roles, responsibilities, and coordination mechanisms for future execution teams.

Recruit and empower specialized career professionals to take ownership of individual interventions, ensuring continuity beyond the initial scoping phase.

Maintain a live portfolio of multiple interventions, tracking their evolving status, dependencies, and alignment with Atlas Computing strategic priorities.

Establish feedback loops with Founders and stakeholders to iteratively adjust intervention designs based on new information and changing risk landscapes.

Translate complex AI resilience concepts into accessible formats for non technical stakeholders, facilitating alignment and buy in across diverse participants.

Continuously evaluate the impact potential of each intervention, using defined success criteria to prioritize those most likely to achieve durable, system level improvements.

Requirements

Bring a demonstrated track record of executing on complex, career long initiatives in related fields, showing consistency over at least the past decade.

Possess deep experience in addressing coordination or market failures that intersect with technology, security, or public policy domains.

Showcase a portfolio of work that intersects with AI resilience, with particular emphasis on AI infrastructure security or epistemic security as described in the source material.

Demonstrate the ability to work independently while managing multiple simultaneous intervention scoping efforts and handoffs to execution teams.

Maintain strong judgment in evaluating technical documents, expert opinions, and funding mechanisms relevant to high risk AI interventions.

Communicate effectively with both technical and non technical audiences, translating ambiguous problems into structured intervention strategies.

Commit to a full time, remote or location flexible engagement that aligns with the operational rhythms of a fast moving, mission driven team.

Adhere to the ethical and strategic guardrails set by Atlas Computing, ensuring all proposed interventions serve the long term resilience of sociotechnical systems.

Nice to have

Prior experience working directly with AI infrastructure security problems, especially those related to the six specified problem areas mentioned in the source material.

Background in epistemic security, including disinformation, model poisoning, or adversarial information dynamics within AI ecosystems.

Experience collaborating with funders, donors, or institutional partners to design and launch coordination mechanisms for technology interventions.

Familiarity with staffing and product requirement documentation processes within mission driven technical teams.

Track record of converting abstract risk frameworks into concrete, staffable projects that attract sustained funding and expert engagement.

Understanding of career professionals who have spent over a decade executing specialized work in adjacent resilience or technology domains.

Practical notes

This is a full time, remote or location flexible role open to candidates based in various jurisdictions.

The position requires availability during standard working hours for coordination with global stakeholders and expert partners.

Travel is not expected as part of this role, given the remote and collaborative nature of the intervention scoping process.

No specific visa sponsorship details are provided; candidates should review local regulations for remote employment as applicable to their region.

The selection timeline is not specified, but candidates are encouraged to apply promptly to align with the ongoing cohort building process.
