## About the role

Partners at Convergent are like senior partners at a venture incubator. You'll create and fully own a growing portfolio of FROs and other scientific projects that advance AI resilience — society's capacity to capture AI's benefits while withstanding its risks.

## What they're looking for

- You understand the AI landscape of 2026 in granular detail: who is building what, why, and on what timeline
- More importantly, you have a view on where that leaves the rest of the world exposed, and which of those exposures are tractable and through what clever ideas and technical methods they might be patchable, and who are the people developing those ideas
- You have ideas, or a credible plan to find ideas, for large-scale efforts that would measurably improve how the world weathers this transition
- You can argue passionately for a thesis about where philanthropic capital should go, and then argue the other side just as well
- You're technically fluent in frontier AI, enough to tell a real bottleneck from a fashionable one
- You have a deep network in the field and people pick up when you call
