Operations Lead

About AIUC

Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence. We red-team, certify, and insure agents, such as ElevenLabs, UiPath, and Intercom. As agents take on critical roles in hospitals, banks, and governments, this could lead to abundance or catastrophic failure. History shows that standards and insurance are crucial for managing risk and shaping incentives. We've developed the gold standard for agent security and reliability, AIUC-1, with support from 100+ CISOs from the Fortune 1000. Our team includes professionals from Anthropic, McKinsey, METR, Weights & Biases, Perplexity, Thiel Fellowship, among others. We've raised $55m from investors like Ribbit, First Harmonic, and Nat Friedman. Learn more here, here, and here.

• Support recruiting and people operations — assist the team in hiring and onboarding as we expand our workforce across various departments

• A mindset that reasons from first principles and excels at both conceptualizing plans and executing them
• An ability to move quickly and communicate clearly
