Very curious if you can describe the types of people you know, their profiles, what cause areas and roles they are have applied for, what constraints they have if any.
But typically (not MECE, written quickly, not in order of importance, some combination could work etc.):
Ok thanks for the details. Off the top of my head I can think of multiple people interested in AI safety who probably fit these (though the descriptions I think still could be more concretely operationalized) and fit into categories such as: founders/cofounders, several years experience in operations analytics and management, several years experience in consulting, multiple years experience in events and community building/management. Some want to stay in Europe, some have families, but overall I don’t recall them being super constrained.

“Relentlessly resourceful” from Paul Graham covers a bunch of it better than I could
Strong intuitions for people management and org building (likely from experience)
Strong manager / leader
Gets shit done—can move quickly, decisive, keeps the momentum going, strong prioritization skills
Cares about structure and can implement systems, but only when they actually matter for helping the org achieve their goals
Able to switch between object level, in the weeds work and strategic thinking, and willing to do in the weeds work if needed (for earlier stage orgs)
Would you say that Teryn Mattox or Dan Brown at GiveWell or Alexander Berger or Emily Oehlsen at Open Philanthropy meet this description?
