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.

Security Advisory: Beware of Frauds

Protect yourself from potential fraud and verify the authenticity of any job offer you receive from Loloi. Rest assured that we never request payment or demand any sensitive personal information, such as bank details or social security numbers, at any stage of the recruiting process. To ensure genuine communication, our recruiters will solely reach out to applicants using an @ email address. Your security is of paramount importance to us at Loloi, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and trustworthy hiring experience for all candidates.

We are building a Business Operations Center of Excellence, and we need a Product Data Analyst to serve as the "Guardian of the Golden Record." In this role, you are the absolute owner of product data integrity as it relates to the digital customer experience. You ensure that every item we sell is accurately represented across every touchpoint—from our ERP and PIM to our website storefront and marketing feeds. This is not a data entry role; it is a high-impact technical logic and investigation role. You will work directly with our Data Platform and Software Engineering teams to define business rules, audit data health via complex SQL, and troubleshoot data transmission errors before they impact the customer.

Responsibilities

• Storefront Governance: Serve as the absolute owner of product data integrity within the PIM. Ensure that all storefront-critical attributes (pricing, dimensions, weights, image links) are accurate and standardized for a seamless customer experience.
• Technical Data Auditing: Write and run complex SQL queries against our centralized database to identify anomalies, "orphan" records, and data hygiene issues that need resolution. You will be expected to query across multiple schemas to validate data consistency between systems.
• Feed Logic & Mapping: You will manage the logic of how data translates from our PIM to external endpoints. You will ensure that our products appear correctly on Google Shopping, Meta, Amazon, and other marketplaces by managing feed rules and mapping definitions.
• API Payload Analysis: You will act as the first line of defense for data transmission errors. If a product isn't showing up on the site, you will review the JSON/XML response bodies to determine if it is a data payload error or a software code bug.
• Cross-Functional Impact Analysis: You will act as the gatekeeper for data changes, predicting downstream impacts (e.g., "If Merchandising changes this Category Name, it will break the Finance reporting filter").
• Hygiene Logic Definition: You will partner with our IT/Database team to define automated health checks. You identify the "rot" (bad data patterns), and they implement the database constraints to stop it.

What You Will NOT Do (The Boundaries)

• No Web Development: You are not a Front-End Developer. You do not write HTML, CSS, or React code. You ensure the data powering those components is 100% accurate.
• No Manual Data Entry: Your job is not to copy-paste descriptions. You build the systems, bulk processes, and logic that ensure data quality at scale.
• No Database Administration: You do not manage server uptime or schema changes (IT owns this). You own the quality of the records inside the database.

Intersection with Technical Teams

• With IT (Database Mgmt): IT owns the infrastructure and schema; you own the quality of the data within it. When you identify a systemic issue (e.g., "5,000 orphan records"), you partner with IT to implement the technical fix (scripts/constraints).
• With Software Engineering (Commerce): If a product is missing from the site, you check the data payload. If the data is correct, you hand off to Engineering, confirming it is a code/caching bug rather than a data error.

Experience, Skills, & Ability Requirements

• 5-8 years of experience in Data Management, PIM Administration, or technical eCommerce Operations.
• SQL Proficiency: You are comfortable writing queries beyond simple SELECT *. You should be proficient with CTEs (Common Table Expressions), Window Functions (e.g., Rank, Lead/Lag), Subqueries, and complex Joins to act as a forensic data investigator.
• API Fluency: You can read and understand JSON and XML. You know what a valid payload looks like and can spot formatting errors or missing keys.
• Data Manipulation: You are an expert at handling large datasets (CSVs, Excel) and understand data types, formatting standards, and normalization concepts.
• You love hunting down the root cause of an error. You don't just fix the wrong price; you find out why the price was wrong and build a rule to stop it from happening again.
• You have high standards for accuracy. You understand that a wrong weight in the system means a financial loss on shipping for the business.

Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)

• Familiarity with Visio/Lucidchart to visualize data flows.
• Ability to build simple dashboards in Tableau to track data health scores.
• Basic familiarity with Python or R for data manipulation.

What We Offer

• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Paid parental leave
• 401(k) with employer match
• A culture of meritocracy that fosters ongoing growth opportunities
• A stable, growing family-owned company that looks after its employees
