Principal, Project Development (2 Openings)

Principal, Project Development Note: We have made two hires for this role but are still hiring for up to two more. Own initiative areas end-to-end — from recruiting founders and designing organizations to commissioning products and running fellowships — in service of steering transformative technology toward benefiting humanity. This role reports to FLF’s Chief Operating Officer. FLF’s mission is to steer transformative technology towards benefiting life and away from extreme large-scale risks. FLF researches which organizations, projects, or fields would be most useful in steering technology towards benefiting humanity, and then works to help establish those structures.

We do whatever it takes to get impactful structures established — such as headhunting leaders, commissioning products, running fellowships, and incubating new organizations. Our vision is that each Principal, Project Development (PPD) owns one or more initiative areas (such as AI-facilitated coordination, epistemic evaluations, or epistemic provenance infrastructure) and is responsible for setting the strategic plan and executing within that area — including activities such as founder selection, org design, and product scoping.

FLF has dedicated strategic staff and has done substantial work on prioritization across initiatives, so this role focuses on driving impact within your assigned areas rather than on cross-initiative strategy. We’re hiring 2–3+ PPDs simultaneously to significantly expand our execution capacity. This is a moment of growth for FLF, and these roles will shape the next generation of our work.
