Director of Implementation, Bio Action Plan
EQL Tech is partnering with the Safe Artificial Intelligence Fund (SAIF) to hire a Director of Implementation for the Bio Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy to reduce catastrophic biological risk at the intersection of AI and biotechnology.
Why this role exists
The convergence of AI and biotechnology is creating one of the most serious proliferation risks of our time. Offensive biological capabilities are advancing faster than defensive ones, and the window to close that gap is narrowing. In response, a coalition of leading experts, organizations, and funders has developed the Bio Action Plan: a strategy, a detailed agenda with explicit milestones, and a tracking dashboard to measure progress. SAIF is now building the team to move that plan from strategy to implementation, and this role is its principal owner.
What you'll own
This is a senior, mission-critical role for someone who combines deep fluency in biosecurity and emerging technology with the ability to drive complex, multi-stakeholder execution. The role spans four core functions:
Refine, finalize, and maintain the plan
- Engage leading experts, practitioners, funders, and institutions across biosecurity, biodefense, AI safety, global health security, and biotechnology
- Identify gaps, weaknesses, or missing priorities
- Produce a final, yet living, endorsed version of the plan that reflects broad community input
Build the execution
