AI Ethics Specialist, Standards, Measurement & Governance | Just Horizons Alliance

Join us to define the standards that hold AI systems accountable.

The situation

Just Horizons Alliance is an 18-year-old applied research lab focused on ethics and technology. Our current focus is the AI Ethics Index, a measurement framework for evaluating AI systems on ethics, safety, and societal impact.

We currently have a first version of the framework that is validated and in use. Now we're investing in the next phase: sharper indicator definitions, stronger construct validity, governance processes that hold up to external scrutiny, and measurements that work across domains from education to healthcare to finance.

This is the first dedicated hire to drive the standards and governance layer end-to-end.

What you'll actually do

Months 1–3: Learn the system

Work through the existing L4 indicator library with Sophia. Understand where definitions need tightening, which constructs require the most interpretation, and how the evaluation engine turns indicators into measurements. Start giving developers working definitions they can implement.

Months 4–6: Build the governance infrastructure

Lead the development of a versioning and change control process for the Index. Define disclosure policies. Formalize internal ethical oversight processes. Collaborate with domain experts in education, healthcare, and finance to validate indicators across contexts.

Months 7–12: Drive the standard

Be the person who gives definitive answers on construct interpretation. Manage the L4 indicator framework as a living, governed document. Represent the methodological rigor of the Index in external conversations with regulators, academics, and the organizations being evaluated.

Why this role is hard

You're working at the frontier of a field that does not have settled answers. There is no ISO standard for AI ethics measurement. The frameworks you're building will be contested by academics, challenged by the AI companies being evaluated, and scrutinized by regulators. You need to make defensible decisions under genuine uncertainty, document your reasoning clearly, and communicate it to people who will disagree.

The daily work involves uncomfortable specifics. What does \"sexually explicit content\" mean when an LLM is used in a youth education context—a tutoring app, a storytelling tool, an educational assistant? Where exactly is the boundary? You have to define it in terms a developer can implement and an auditor can verify.

The pace is weeks, not semesters.

You're probably the right person if

You've taken an abstract ethical principle and turned it into something a developer could build or a compliance team could audit

You understand NIST AI RMF or the EU AI Act at a working level — not awareness, but enough to argue about the details

You have external credibility in the field: publications, recognised work, advisory roles, or a title that carries weight

KYC, compliance, or governance experience is part of your background alongside ethics expertise

You work at the pace of decisions, not the pace of studies

You can hold a substantive conversation with a software developer about API behaviour and with a philosopher about construct validity — on the same day

You can read an inter-rater reliability methodology and understand what it means for your indicator definitions

You're probably not the right fit if

Your background is purely academic ethics — you've written and published but never operationalized anything

You need months of research before committing to a position on a specific indicator definition

You're primarily a communicator or writer about AI ethics rather than a practitioner of governance

You're based on the West Coast US or don't work in East Coast US or Western Europe time zones

You see \"working with developers\" as someone else's job

Hard Skills

These are the domain and technical capabilities you need going in — or need to be able to build up fast. You don't need to be an engineer. But you do need to learn quickly, including using AI tools to close knowledge gaps on the fly.

• NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act — working-level knowledge, not awareness. Enough to argue about the details and identify where a specific AI system fails to comply
• Construct operationalization — demonstrated experience translating an abstract ethical principle into a bounded, testable indicator that someone else can use
• Governance documentation — writing versioning policies, change control frameworks, and disclosure protocols that other people actually use day to day
• AI evaluation methodology — familiarity with how AI systems are benchmarked, where measurement goes wrong, and what validity means in a scientific context
• Basic technical literacy — able to read API documentation, understand what a model endpoint does.
• Statistical reliability concepts — inter-rater reliability, aggregation methods, and what it means for a measurement to be valid versus merely reliable
• KYC or compliance frameworks — experience building governance processes that have real enforcement teeth, not just principles documents that no one is held to

What you get

The role: Work directly with Sophia Zitman (AIEI Team Lead) as the person who owns the methodological integrity of the AI Ethics Index. Direct daily collaboration with the development team.

The comp: $110,000

The team: Small, split between ethicists and engineers. Interview panel: Janet Kang and Sophia Zitman.

The environment: Boston-based non-profit (501(c)(3)). East Coast US or Western Europe time zones strongly preferred. Deliberate, rigorous culture.

The upside: You'll have built the governance foundation of what may become the globally referenced standard for AI ethics measurement. That is a genuinely consequential body of work.

Project Manager – Site/Civil | Cape Cod & Southeastern MA

For more than 50 years, our client has built the infrastructure that defines their community. Asphalt paving, site development, underground utilities, subdivision construction, and airport work. Over 8,000 projects completed. A large owned fleet. A skilled, experienced construction crew. Support from a talented administrative team. Any Project Manager would be very happy working here.

They're professional and forward-thinking, but far from stuffy and corporate. The office is the kind of space you wouldn't expect from a civil contractor - bright, open, and well-appointed. Think Silicon Valley startup, not construction trailer. Stocked fridge, snacks available all day, and a modern layout that makes going into the office something to look forward to.

They are known for investing in their people - they believe their team is their greatest asset. Careers are built here, and experienced people are respected for what they know and what they bring. We can say that with confidence - one of our own placements is still there 22 years later and, by all accounts, has never looked back.

The Role

You will own the schedule, the budget, and client relationships - supported by a highly experienced field team. This is a hands-on PM role where you run real work, not just push paperwork.

What You'll Do

• Own project delivery from award through closeout
• Coordinate with field superintendents for safe, on-budget, on-time project execution
• Manage submittals, RFIs, and change orders
• Build strong relationships with municipal, state, and private clients
• Identify risks early and get ahead of problems

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of PM experience in civil construction, site development, or heavy civil
• Experience managing projects up to $20M+
• Strong knowledge of earthwork, paving, utilities, and sitework
• Ability to read plans, specs, and contract documents, and comfortable using B2W software
• MassDOT, municipal, or federal client experience is a strong plus
• Degree in Civil Engineering or Construction Management preferred - equivalent field experience considered
• Based in southeastern MA or Cape Cod strongly preferred

Why This Role

• 50+ years of experience with a strong reputation
• stable pipeline of projects and year-round work
• family-owned, not private equity - community matters to them
• Self-perform culture with real operational responsibility (Member of Local 385, Local 4, Local 59)
• Leadership that has been in your shoes and invests accordingly
• A genuine path toward senior leadership
• Complex, high-profile projects across Massachusetts
• Competitive salary, health benefits, PTO, 401K, vision, and flexible supplemental options

Quietly thinking about a move closer to the Cape?
