This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2139 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 55% sure that is the right code. MOONSHOT CVE LTD is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2134 (Programmers and software development professionals, If the work were primarily building AI software rather than evaluating it.) or SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, If framed as advising on AI safety policy and risk.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Location: Remote
Engagement type: Consultancy, project-based. Starting ASAP.
Moonshot is seeking a Senior Freelance Consultant to support the delivery of our AI Safety portfolio. This is a hands on, technical engagement focused on red teaming, adversarial evaluation, and methodological development across harm categories including pathways to violence, extremism, child sexual exploitation, abuse and grooming (CSEA), mental health and crisis, and risks affecting children and teenagers.
The consultant will work closely with Moonshot's AI Safety team to design and execute evaluation frameworks, test scenarios, and scoring criteria, translating violence prevention, safeguarding, and behavioural risk expertise into structured, testable outputs suitable for technical and policy audiences.
This role does not include client relationship management, team leadership, or business development responsibilities. The focus is on the technical and methodological work itself, and all work must be delivered within a clear ethical framework, in compliance with contractual, legal, data protection, and ethics obligations.
What the work involves
Engagements vary, but may involve:
- Red teaming and adversarial evaluation of AI systems against defined harm categories.
- Reviewing model responses against harm and risk criteria and providing expert judgement.
- Bringing subject matter expertise to a specific harm area, such as grooming and CSEA, radicalisation pathways, crisis signalling, or teen online safety.
- Supporting the design of evaluation frameworks that translate real world harm knowledge into structured, testable criteria.
- Contributing to the design of intervention logic that connects at risk users to appropriate support.
- Drafting methodology or findings suitable for technical and government audiences.
