We're looking for someone to join our creator outreach team, reporting to ControlAI's Head of Advocacy.
Your role is to expand and deepen online creators’ coverage of the extinction risk posed by superintelligence, as well as ControlAI’s work as an organisation. You'll work to find the right creators, build relationships with them, and support them through the process of covering AI risk.
This role involves managing multiple creator relationships and projects at different stages simultaneously, from initial outreach through to video release.

Key Responsibilities Include:
- Identify and research potential creator partners across YouTube, TikTok, podcasts, and other platforms through organic discovery, targeted searches, and creator databases.
- Do bespoke and campaign outreach to meet creators and build new partnerships.
- Brief creators on the extinction risk posed by superintelligence, respond to their questions, and help them cover the issue in their content.
- Contribute to scriptwriting and message crafting for creator collaborations, ensuring videos stay focused on AI extinction risks.
- Stay on top of current on AI developments, creator trends, and platform changes (particularly YouTube and TikTok) to identify timely collaboration opportunities.
Ideal Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in influencer/creator relations, digital marketing or content production.
- Familiarity with the content creator ecosystem across YouTube, TikTok, and podcasts, including how creators evaluate and approach partnerships.
- Strong written communication skills, with some experience in or aptitude for scriptwriting or persuasive writing.
- Do not hesitate to apply if you have less experience and assess that you would be a good candidate.
£60,000 - £80,000 a year
Salary commensurate with experience.
About ControlAI
ControlAI is a non-profit organisation that works with a singular mission to prevent the extinction risk posed by superintelligence and secure a great future for humanity.
Nobel Prize winners, top AI experts and even the CEOs of major AI companies have warned that superintelligence poses an extinction risk for humanity. Yet, most decision-makers and most of the public are still in the dark about these risks.
ControlAI exists to change this. We help hundreds of thousands of people understand where AI is going, and take civic action to secure their future. We meet hundreds of lawmakers to inform them about the risks, and convince them to take a public stance. We help dozens of them take action to spur a national conversation about superintelligence, and put measures in place nationally and internationally.
We do this across all democratic institutions, from lawmakers to the media, civil society, and all citizens. We operate like a startup: clear objectives, measurable goals, and real-world results over long-term research.
In the UK, we have briefed over 150 cross-party parliamentarians and No. 10 Downing Street since September 2024, with our superintelligence campaign gaining support from more than 100 British lawmakers. Our work in the UK has been covered in media outlets including the Guardian and TIME Magazine. ControlAI also operates in the United States, Canada, and Germany, where we have briefed dozens of lawmakers, given expert testimony in hearings, and more.
