Though I have worked in ops roles before, this one comes with a new kind of responsibility - the first time I have nobody telling me exactly what to do or reviewing my work. There's a wide variety of tasks I might want to consider taking on, with plenty of potential for a significant impact for my org, colleagues, and future fellows.\n\nI'm looking for a peer in a similar high-responsibility ops leadership role in another AI safety org - whether big or small, new or established, focused on research, governance, comms, or community building - doesn't matter. The goal is to have someone with whom to exchange ideas, share concerns, and point out each other's blindspots.\n\nAn ideal format for me would be weekly calls. Happy to keep specifics vague/anonymized on both sides.\n\nIf this sounds like something you or someone you know might be interested in doing, I would be excited to hear from you in the comments or dms.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-ops-lead-peer-mentoring", "canonical_source": "https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/vfTcdckj7uhyy2mvg/looking-for-ops-lead-peer-mentoring", "published_at": "2026-07-30 10:20:53+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-30 10:30:09.075613+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-safety", "ai-research"], "entities": ["AFFINE"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-ops-lead-peer-mentoring", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-ops-lead-peer-mentoring.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-ops-lead-peer-mentoring.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/looking-for-ops-lead-peer-mentoring.jsonld"}}
