Description

Organization: CLAIR (Compliance Leaders for AI Responsibility)

Position Type: Part-Time Contract

About CLAIR
CLAIR is on a mission to build the future of responsible AI. We are a non-profit organization creating a private, vendor-neutral space for senior leaders in compliance, risk, and legal from Canada and the United States to tackle their biggest AI governance challenges. We facilitate confidential discussions and build practical, defensible resources that cut through the noise. Our community is where the real work of responsible AI adoption gets done.

The Opportunity
You will be a key contributor to our Research & Development team, a group at the core of CLAIR’s mission. You’ll join the front lines of the most critical conversation in technology today, researching emerging AI regulations, risks, and best practices. You will translate that knowledge into the essential toolkit, including policy templates, risk frameworks, and practical guides, that senior leaders use to navigate the AI revolution responsibly.

If you’re fascinated with the intersection of technology, policy, and compliance, and you want to have a direct impact on how AI is adopted, this is your chance to contribute to a vital organization from its early stages.

What You’ll Do

  • Deep-Dive Research: Proactively monitor and analyze the global AI regulatory landscape. This includes key legislation like Canada’s Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), the EU AI Act, and emerging state and federal laws in the United States.
  • Translate Complexity into Clarity: Draft, write, and refine practical resources like policy templates, vendor diligence questionnaires, and risk assessment frameworks. Your work must be clear, actionable, and defensible.
  • Synthesize Collective Intelligence: Collaborate with CLAIR’s members, who are top professionals in the field, to co-develop content that reflects their real-world challenges and insights.
  • Fuel High-Level Discussions: Prepare concise briefing notes, research summaries, and discussion guides for our confidential, members-only roundtables.
  • Stay Ahead of the Curve: Identify and report on emerging trends, technologies, and risks in AI governance to ensure CLAIR and its members are always prepared for what is next.

Who You Are

  • An Exceptional Analyst & Writer: You can dive into dense regulatory text or a complex technical concept and emerge with a sharp, insightful summary. Your writing is pristine, persuasive, and practical.
  • Insatiably Curious about AI: You have a demonstrated passion for AI, technology policy, and ethical innovation. You read, listen, and learn about this space constantly because you want to.
  • An Independent Contributor: You thrive in a dynamic, early-stage environment. You can manage your own projects and deadlines with a high degree of autonomy and initiative.
  • Mission-Driven: You are motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a critical mission and an organization with lasting impact.

Highly Valued Experience: Direct experience working with AI-specific regulations or governance frameworks is a significant asset. Familiarity with the fast-paced environment of a startup or a new non-profit is also beneficial.

Why You’ll Love Working at CLAIR

  • Unmatched Impact: Your work will not sit on a shelf. It will be immediately put into practice by senior leaders at some of the most influential organizations in North America.
  • Accelerated Learning: Get direct access to and learn from the top minds shaping the future of AI governance in a confidential, candid setting.
  • Meaningful Contribution: As a key member of our research team, you will make a significant contribution to our content strategy and intellectual capital.
  • Remote-First Flexibility: We are a remote organization with roots in Canada and the US, offering the flexibility to do your best work from wherever you are.
