Few roles give you a portfolio of organisations to strengthen and this much proximity to the decisions that shape a fast-growing one.

What you'll do

Drive organisation support

• Assess capability across the organisations at LISA. Master the details of a wide range of organisations, deeply understanding their strategy, scaling plans, and operating models.
• Turn assessment into support. With each organisation, work out what they need to help them scale, and determine how LISA can support and where specialist experts should be engaged.
• Run ongoing advisory relationships. Hold a standing relationship with the leaders of the organisations we host, so that you are the person they call when they need support. Be the go to expert for specific strategy and operations problem areas.
• Deliver time-bound projects end to end. Scope a discrete piece of work with an organisation, whether a hiring plan, a governance review, a financial model or an operating rhythm, agree what done looks like, and deliver it to that standard. Own the full end to end process, including monitoring impact.
• Build the offering so it scales. Develop the diagnostics, templates, playbooks and service standards behind organisation support
• Partner with the LISA Operations team, contractors, and external experts where specialist depth is needed. Manage necessary teams to deliver with excellence.
• Challenge assumptions constructively, including those held by senior leaders, so that decisions are taken with a realistic view of risks, trade-offs and second-order effects.
• Measure whether organisations get stronger. Focus on building durable capabilities.

Drive transformation at LISA

• Develop strategy. Take LISA's open strategic questions, such as which organisations we host, how we grow, and what we stop doing, and produce an answer with the analysis behind it.
• Own projects end to end, from first framing through to an embedded outcome. Define the problem, challenge assumptions constructively, frame the decision with clear options and a recommendation, and follow through once a call is made.
• Apply delivery discipline to project management: planning, milestone tracking, risk and issue management etc.

About you

Essential

• Top-tier consulting background. 5+ years at a leading strategy or management consulting firm, or an equivalent in-house strategy function. You can structure an ambiguous problem, reach a defensible answer under time pressure, and present it to people who will push back on it.
• Credibility with founders and executives. You can sit down with the chief executive of a mid-size organisation or a founder of an early stage start-up and quickly understand their organisations and add value. You excel in managing stakeholders and conversing across technical and non-technical areas.
• Ownership through to outcome. You have stayed with a piece of work past the recommendation, through implementation, and been accountable for whether it landed.
• Organisational range. You have worked across a range of problem areas spanning strategy, finance, governance, hiring and operating model design.
• High agency and sound judgement. You take whole problems and drive them to completion, including the ones that fall between other people's remits. You know when to be hands on and when to let others lead.
• Judgement on proportionality. You know where rigour is non-negotiable and where a lighter approach will do. Small organisations break under process built for large ones.
• Clear written communication. Board papers, funder-facing analysis, and short internal documents that make a decision easy to take.
• AI is part of how you work. You already use AI tools to change what you can produce. Your use of them is judicious, and you know when your own thinking is needed.

Desirable

• You care about making transformative AI go well, and you're keen to deepen your understanding of the field and your part in it.
• Direct exposure to scaling an organisation through a period of rapid growth.

Terms and what we offer

• Compensation: £100,000 - £120,000
• Contract: Permanent, full-time

• A route into the AI safety ecosystem at a senior level, working alongside the people building it.
