ABOUT THE TEAM

Critical Harm Operations sits within User Safety & Risk Operations and builds enforcement systems for Frontier Risk and Material Harm that are accurate, fast, defensible, and built to scale. The Cyber vertical turns policy into reviewer standards, calibrated judgment, quality systems, escalation paths, and automation guardrails.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a senior cybersecurity practitioner and operations strategist to raise the quality, scalability, and technical rigor of our Cyber Operations. You will combine hands-on cyber judgment with systems-level operating design: resolve the hardest dual-use questions, evolve SOPs, uplift reviewers and vendors, and build practical tools and automations.

This is a senior IC role. Success is not primarily cases closed; it is durable improvement in the operating model and the reviewers who run it.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

• Drive the Cyber Operations operating model across domain priorities, SOPs, escalation paths, quality health, vendor capability, roadmap inputs and help inform trusted access strategies.

• Serve as the senior cyber expert for complex or high-risk decisions across ChatGPT, API, Codex, agents, and emerging product surfaces.

• Translate policy ambiguity, quality misses, appeals, and reviewer disagreement into clear decision rules, calibration examples, training, and tooling requirements.

• Build durable operating systems and quality loops: golden sets, holdouts, double-labeling, adjudication, error taxonomies, reviewer calibration, and automation evaluations.

• Raise FTE and BPO capability through onboarding, certification, coaching, recurring calibration, and vendor-performance partnership.

• Use quality, appeals, SLA, backlog, and disagreement signals to diagnose root causes and prioritize high-leverage fixes.

• Build hands-on solutions—SQL analyses, scripts, dashboards, LLM eval workflows, evidence enrichment, routing logic, and lightweight automations—that improve decision quality and reduce manual effort.

• Partner with Policy, Integrity, Safety Systems, Security, Legal, Product, Engineering, and Investigations to operationalize changes and drive launch readiness.

YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU:

• Have 8+ years of hands-on cybersecurity experience in offensive security, threat intelligence, incident response, security research, red teaming, application security, DFIR, malware analysis, or a related field.

• Can reason deeply about attacker tradecraft, vulnerability exploitation, credential abuse, malware, persistence, evasion, exfiltration, cloud or identity abuse, and ambiguous dual-use activity.

• Have built or improved high-stakes operations, reviewer programs, QA systems, escalation workflows, or vendor/BPO programs.

• Can turn complex cyber and policy judgment into reviewer-usable SOPs, decision trees, training, and concise written recommendations.

• Are comfortable using SQL, Python, Python, C/C++, JavaScript, PowerShell, and Bash, APIs, LLM tooling, or automation to solve operational problems.

• Understand human-in-the-loop automation, evaluations, monitoring, holdouts, and fallback paths for sensitive workflows.

• Operate independently in ambiguity, communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences, and bring sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive material.

• Experience with trust and safety, platform abuse, cyber misuse of AI systems, or LLM safety.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with golden sets, classifier or prompt evaluations, and reviewer-quality programs.

• Experience enabling global vendor reviewer operations.

About the Team
OpenAI’s Business organization works with customers and partners on some of our most complex and consequential opportunities. These efforts require rigorous strategy, strong operating leadership, and coordinated execution across commercial, product, technical, deployment, and go-to-market teams.

About the Role
We are hiring a Business Lead to serve as the operating leader for a strategically important initiative anchored in a major partnership. This person will turn an ambitious, cross-functional mandate into a clear strategy, operating plan, decision structure, and set of measurable outcomes.

This role combines strategy and operations, product judgment, commercial skills, and the ability to get things done. You will identify the most promising product and customer opportunities, develop a point of view on how our products should work together, shape the commercial approach, and personally drive execution across both organizations.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to own outcomes, not just coordinate work. You will structure ambiguous problems, establish priorities, build trusted relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and work across product, engineering, deployment, and go-to-market teams to remove blockers and deliver results.

Success means establishing a durable operating model for the initiative, improving decision velocity, translating strategy into coordinated execution, launching a joint go-to-market motion, landing an initial cohort of customers, and delivering a high-quality enterprise deployment.

In this role, you will:

• Own the initiative’s integrated strategy and operating plan, including priorities, desired outcomes, metrics, owners, dependencies, and decision points

• Structure complex and ambiguous business problems, develop fact-based recommendations, and translate them into clear choices and executable plans

• Define success measures and build operating reviews that surface progress, risks, tradeoffs, and required decisions

• Personally drive the highest-priority initiatives from problem definition through decision, implementation, and measurable outcome

• Translate strategic priorities into well-formed commercial, product, technical, deployment, and go-to-market workstreams

• Prepare concise executive decision materials and establish clear governance for strategy, resource, economic, and execution decisions

• Identify cross-functional dependencies, resolve blockers, and recommend resource or priority tradeoffs when execution is at risk

• Build and run a rigorous internal and external operating cadence that creates accountability, decision velocity, and early visibility into risk

• Develop trusted, high-accountability relationships across executive, commercial, product, technical, legal, finance, deployment, and partner teams

• Stand up a joint go-to-market motion and drive the first cohort of customers from targeting and value proposition through execution

• Develop commercial positions and support negotiations across economics, packaging, delivery commitments, and long-term strategic value

• Build an informed perspective on how our products should integrate with, complement, or remain distinct from the partner’s products, and translate that perspective into recommendations for Product, Engineering, and deployment teams

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• Substantial experience in strategy and operations, business operations, general management, strategic initiatives, or another role centered on solving complex business problems and driving execution

• A track record as the accountable operator for consequential outcomes—not only as an advisor, planner, or coordinator

• Exceptional structured problem-solving skills, including the ability to move from ambiguous questions to clear analysis, recommendations, and action

• Strong analytical and business judgment, with experience defining metrics, evaluating tradeoffs, and using data to improve decisions and performance

• Excellent program and operating leadership, with a bias toward simple mechanisms that create clarity, accountability, and execution velocity

• Clear, concise executive communication and the ability to produce high-quality written plans, recommendations, and decision materials

• Strong product judgment and sufficient technical fluency to understand complex product ecosystems, challenge assumptions, and collaborate credibly with technical counterparts

• Commercial judgment and experience contributing to negotiations involving economics, packaging, delivery commitments, or long-term strategic value

• Exceptional internal and external relationship leadership, including candid communication, conflict resolution, and expectation management

• Experience working across company boundaries with partners or customers; a formal business development or partnerships background is not required

• High agency, low ego, sound judgment, and a willingness to do the detailed work required to move outcomes forward

• Exceptional follow-through in fast-moving environments with incomplete information

About Team

Our Robotics team is focused on unlocking general-purpose robotics and advancing toward AGI-level intelligence in dynamic, real-world environments. Working across the full model and systems stack, we integrate cutting-edge hardware and software to explore a broad range of robotic form factors. We strive to seamlessly blend high-level AI capabilities with the physical constraints of real-world systems to improve people’s lives.

About Role

We are building a supply-chain organization capable of supporting our transition from laboratory-scale development to factory-scale operations. We are looking for an Inventory Manager to build and operate our inventory function from the ground up.

This is a highly hands-on role. In the near term, you may start with an empty room and be responsible for determining what racks, shelving, bins, labels, scanners, workflows, and systems are needed to turn it into a functional stockroom. You will receive material, organize inventory, perform counts, move parts between buildings, resolve discrepancies, and establish the processes others will eventually follow.

As we grow, you will have the opportunity to develop this foundation into a full-scale, multi-site factory inventory operation. You may hire and manage contractors or onsite inventory administrators, but this role will initially have a significant individual-contributor component and will remain accountable for day-to-day execution.

This role owns inventory and internal logistics. It does not own purchasing, production planning, or inbound and outbound supplier logistics.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA and requires in-person presence 5 days a week.

In this role you will:

• Build inventory operations from the ground up across various OpenAI facilities.

• Design and set up stockrooms, receiving areas, and material-storage locations, including selecting racks, shelving, bins, carts, labeling equipment, scanners, and other infrastructure.

• Personally execute core inventory activities, including receiving, labeling, putaway, picking, kitting, issuing, cycle counting, transfers, returns, and inventory adjustments.

• Establish practical receiving procedures that ensure incoming material is identified, recorded, inspected or quarantined when appropriate, and made available quickly.

• Hire, train, and manage contractors or onsite inventory administrators as volume and facility needs grow.

• Create location structures, naming conventions, barcode workflows, material-status controls, and standard work.

• Maintain accurate visibility into what inventory exists, where it is located, and whether it is available for use.

• Establish and maintain cycle-counting and physical-inventory programs, investigate discrepancies, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.

• Own internal logistics and material movement between company facilities, including transfer processes, delivery schedules, chain of custody, transaction accuracy, and reconciliation.

• Develop appropriate controls for serialized, lot-controlled, high-value, consigned, returned, obsolete, and nonconforming material.

• Serve as the business owner for inventory tools and workflows.

• Partner with the systems team to translate operational needs into requirements, prioritize improvements, test new functionality, and drive adoption.

• Create procedures and training that allow inventory operations to be replicated consistently at new facilities.

• Identify inventory risks, shortages, excess material, unidentified material, and process breakdowns before they disrupt operations.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• 4+ years of experience in inventory management, warehouse operations, materials operations, internal logistics, or a related field.

• Experience building or substantially improving an inventory operation, not only working within an established one.

• Strong working knowledge of receiving, putaway, picking, kitting, cycle counting, material transfers, inventory reconciliation, and physical inventory controls.

• Willingness to work directly in stockrooms, receiving areas, laboratories, and manufacturing spaces.

• Ability to move comfortably between strategic design and hands-on execution.

• Experience selecting and implementing physical inventory infrastructure such as racks, shelving, bins, labeling systems, barcode scanners, and material-handling equipment.

• Familiarity with ERP, WMS, MES, or inventory-management systems and the transactions required to maintain accurate inventory.

• Willingness to travel regularly among company facilities.

What success looks like:

Within the first 6 months, you will have:

• Turned empty or informal storage areas into organized, functional stockrooms.

• Established consistent receiving, storage, counting, and material-transfer processes across active facilities.

• Created reliable visibility into what inventory exists, where it is located, and whether it is available for use.

• Implemented practical location controls, labeling standards, transaction procedures, and cycle counting.

• Built a reliable inter-building logistics process with clear ownership and traceability.
