Oksana K - Pro bono ops support

Give me the
operational problem
you don’t have time to solve

I’m an operations lead offering pro bono support to AI safety, governance, and field-building teams. Give me a messy but important non-technical problem; if it’s a fit, I’ll scope it and own the execution.

I’ve rarely met anyone so resourceful, relentless, and organized. She took ownership of entire projects, brought clarity, built pipelines, and stayed on top of every moving part.

Does any of this sound familiar?

''

Important projects keep landing with me because nobody else owns the coordination.

''

We have partners, funders, applicants, experts, or volunteers to follow up with - but the pipeline mostly lives in someone’s head.

''

There’s a workflow we know is broken, but fixing it keeps losing to more urgent work.

''

I could delegate this - if I had the time to turn it into a properly scoped task first.

You don’t need to solve the problem before handing it over. Give me the context you have; I’ll ask what I need and turn it into a workable plan.

What I can own

Make this project actually happen

Turn a loose objective into owners, deadlines, and next actions; coordinate contributors; chase dependencies; keep the project moving.
Fix the workflow you don’t have time to fix

Map what is happening now, simplify it, document it, and add lightweight automation or tools only where they remove recurring work.
Own the external coordination

Set up and run the pipeline for partners, experts, funders, candidates, speakers, volunteers, or program participants.
Run the operational side of a program or event

Applications, scheduling, participants, speakers, logistics, communications, follow-up, and reporting.

Low-risk way to try working together

Send me the problem

A few sentences are enough.

I scope it

If I think I can genuinely help, I’ll suggest a concrete outcome, what I need from you, and a sensible scope.

Try one project

Start with one pro bono project.
No obligation to continue.

What’s the operational problem you keep postponing?

Send me a few lines about it. If I think I can genuinely take it on, I’ll suggest a small project to start with.
A messy brief is welcome. No need to turn it into a task list first.

I’ll only use these details to respond to your message: my privacy policy.

I'm working on an AGI Collective idea. The first phase is to develop a lean operations-support model for AI safety and x-risk work.
By running pro bono projects, I want to find the most common operational bottlenecks, see what support is actually useful, and create examples of ops work to shape the model.
