Speculative Technologies wants to hire a highly-communicative junior project manager with a great deal of initiative to help our Brains Accelerator succeed. This is a 6 month contract position starting ASAP with potential for extension; the position is fully remote.
We are a small, scrappy, non-profit startup that accomplishes big things. We want to use science and technology to unlock an abundant, wonder-filled future and we want to hire people who share our mission.
Your job would involve:
- The nuts and bolts of project management: scheduling meetings, writing emails, nagging and reminding and keeping track of everything that needs to be done
- Using a variety of online platforms to keep track of our tasks and inform our team (Google Workspace, Airtable, Notion, Monday, Slack)
- Working at least two in-person events during the contract, wrangling people and setting up spaces
Benefits are:
- Helping crazy and ambitious scientists who are trying to change the world
- Learning about the cutting edge of many scientific fields
- Getting practical project management experience
Great applicants will:
- Have a Bachelor’s degree in a science or engineering field
- Have at least one year of post-school job experience that involves project management
- Have worked remotely before
- Find it fun to try out and use a variety of software, including LLMs
- Love to find organizational problems and new ways to do things better
- Love to work in teams and to talk through their work online
- Have an excellent attention to detail; small mistakes drive them nuts
The job is fully remote with occasional travel for team onsites and program-related events.
All applicants must already have permission to work for any employer in the United States; unfortunately we cannot sponsor visas for this position.
