Our work informs safety mitigations, product decisions, and partnerships, ensuring OpenAI’s tools are deployed securely and responsibly across critical sectors.

About the Role

As an Agentic Risk Analyst, you will shape OpenAI’s operating picture for current agentic risk across products and platforms. You will bring a strategic, system-level perspective to current risks, connecting individual incidents, technical findings, abuse patterns, and external developments to relevant workstreams, mitigations, owners, dependencies, and residual gaps. You will analyze how risks emerge through autonomy, multi-step task execution, tool use, memory, retrieval, connectors, computer-use capabilities, and multi-agent workflows, with a particular focus on both adversarial misuse and unintended system behavior. By synthesizing signals from investigations, evaluations, red teaming, security reviews, product launches, external research, and real-world incidents, you will maintain a current view of material risks and evolving threat patterns. Your work will help turn complex and often ambiguous signals into coordinated decisions and measurable follow-through across product, safety, security, policy, and governance teams.

You will work closely with investigators, engineers, product, policy, safety, and security teams, and measurement and forecasting experts who lead longer-horizon risk discovery and scenario work to maintain a shared operating picture of current risks, mitigation priorities, owners, and dependencies. This is an opportunity to help shape how OpenAI coordinates decisions and follow-through across the evolving risk landscape of increasingly capable agentic systems, ensuring that safety decisions keep pace with rapidly advancing technology.

In this role, you will:

• Build and maintain a current, company-wide portfolio of material agentic risks across OpenAI’s products, platforms, and emerging capabilities, mapping each risk to relevant workstreams, owners, mitigations, dependencies, decisions, and residual gaps.

• Run a cross-functional intake and review cadence for signals from across OpenAI and the broader ecosystem to identify emerging risks, evolving threat patterns, and important shifts in the agentic risk landscape, routing findings to the right owners and decision-makers

• Connect individual incidents, technical findings, evaluations, and weak signals to broader system-level trends, producing clear assessments of impact, severity, evidence, uncertainty, priority, and recommended action.

• Assess how emerging capabilities, product changes, ecosystem developments, and adversary adaptation may affect current risk priorities and launch readiness, surfacing risks that are unowned, stalled, or under-mitigated for decision and escalation, and tracking residual risk after launch.

• In partnership with colleagues who lead horizon scanning, use relevant external developments across AI safety and security research, public incidents, adversarial activity, industry standards, emerging technologies, and competitor products, as inputs to current risk prioritization and mitigation decisions at OpenAI.

• Apply and refine practical frameworks and taxonomies for current agentic failure modes, control gaps, abuse patterns, and potential downstream harms across products, deployment environments, and user workflows, integrating them into the broader risk program.

• Produce concise, decision-ready assessments that communicate key findings, assumptions, confidence levels, competing hypotheses, and prioritized recommendations for product, safety, security, policy, and leadership stakeholders, with accountable owners and next review points.

• Define and track operating metrics for the agentic-risk program, including coverage, ownership, decision latency, mitigation status, and closure and partner with measurement experts on risk indicators and monitoring capabilities.

• Partner with colleagues who lead evaluations, scenario analyses, tabletop exercises, red-team campaigns, and investigations focused on agentic systems, using their findings to drive actionable mitigations, accountable ownership, and measurable follow-through.

You might thrive in this role if you

• Have significant experience—typically 7+ years—in trust and safety, integrity, security, cyber threat intelligence, AI safety, product risk, strategic intelligence, abuse investigations, or a related field.

You are familiar with AI safety concepts, agentic failure modes, and misalignment risks, and can reason about how agent objectives, incentives, environments, and system design choices may produce unintended or harmful outcomes.

• Have demonstrated experience analyzing how harmful outcomes emerge from interactions between users, products, and technical systems, and can assess how increasingly capable agentic systems may amplify, automate, or transform existing abuse vectors such as fraud, scams, social engineering, coordinated influence operations, cyber abuse, or other forms of platform misuse. You have also helped operate a cross-functional risk, safety, security, or integrity program, clarifying ownership, resolving dependencies, escalating gaps, and driving follow-through without direct authority.

• Have exceptional analytical judgment and experience producing assessments under uncertainty. You can identify weak signals, develop and test hypotheses, distinguish signal from noise, communicate assumptions and confidence levels clearly, and update your conclusions as new evidence becomes available.

• Possess strong technical fluency and are comfortable engaging deeply with engineers, researchers, and security practitioners. You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be able to translate technical findings into clear risk assessments.

• Are comfortable synthesizing data and evidence from multiple sources to manage a current risk portfolio, including investigations, telemetry, evaluations, experiments, dashboards, and external research. Experience using SQL, Python, and analytical tools is a plus.

• Have experience applying risk frameworks, threat models, severity assessments, taxonomies, or prioritization frameworks to structure current operational ambiguity and support decision-making.

• Communicate complex topics clearly and effectively, producing concise, executive-ready analysis and influencing stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams.

• Thrive in fast-moving environments, balancing rigor with pragmatism while building lightweight operating processes and tools that improve organizational coordination and follow-through on material risks.

About the Team

OpenAI is building Procurement of the future: one that uses AI-enabled systems, clean data, and scalable processes to help the business absorb increasing complexity, speed, volume, and throughput — while enabling teams across OpenAI to operate more strategically and at greater scale.

The Hardware Procurement Operations team supports the operational flow of goods and hardware purchasing across OpenAI's hardware business units. We help teams turn business needs into controlled, accurate, and executable procurement activity, from request intake through purchase orders, supplier coordination, change management, receiving readiness, and downstream invoice support.

As OpenAI scales, we are building procurement operations that can support changing hardware needs, new business unit priorities, and increasing operational complexity. That means creating practical standards where they help, preserving flexibility where the business requires it, and continuously improving how requests, suppliers, POs, data, and controls move through our systems.

About the Role

As a Senior Manager of Procurement Operations focused on Hardware, you will own procurement operations for one or more assigned hardware business units. You will be the day-to-day DRI for hardware and goods procurement activity, leading work from intake through purchase requests, POs, supplier needs, changes, receiving readiness, and operational escalations.

This is a hands-on operator-builder role for someone who understands the practical complexity of hardware and goods procurement and can both run the work and redesign how the work gets done. You will keep work moving while improving the operating model through better systems, workflows, automation, AI-enabled processes, controls, metrics, and operating leverage. You will evaluate how people, process, policy, systems, data, fiscal controls, and accounting practices come together, and you will work closely with other Central Procurement and BU Procurement subject area owners as a team to define and drive standardization where it is practical and applicable.

We work closely with hardware business teams, Strategic Sourcing, Finance, Legal, Security, Financial Risk Management, Accounting, and Accounts Payable. Our goal is to make it easier for hardware teams to move quickly while ensuring procurement activity is complete, policy-aligned, and reliable for the teams that depend on it.

This role requires strong judgment, ownership, and financial fluency. Hardware teams need speed, flexibility, and clear answers; Procurement Operations also needs clean data, fiscal controls, accounting alignment, auditability, commitment visibility, accrual readiness, and reliable downstream handoffs. You will balance those needs in a changing environment, understand how upstream procurement choices affect downstream financial outcomes, and drive measurable improvements in request-to-PO cycle time, PO quality, exception rates, receiving readiness, invoice match performance, commitment visibility, and close readiness.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Own procurement operations outcomes for assigned hardware business unit teams and serve as their primary Procurement Operations DRI.

• Redesign workflows, intake paths, routing logic, and operating rhythms so hardware procurement operations can scale without linear headcount growth.

• Lead hardware and goods procurement operations from request intake through PO creation, PO maintenance, supplier coordination, receiving readiness, and invoice-readiness handoffs.

• Drive alignment with hardware stakeholders to clarify requirements, resolve blockers, and keep procurement activity moving with the right level of control.

• Ensure requests and POs are complete, policy-aligned, audit-ready, and supported by clean operational data.

• Identify and resolve issues related to supplier setup, supplier requirements, PO structure, receiving, documentation, approvals, and downstream invoice matching.

• Balance urgent business needs with procurement controls, approval requirements, exception paths, and auditability.

• Work closely with Procurement subject area owners as a team to standardize workflows, intake requirements, operating rhythms, and metrics where practical.

• Identify repeatable work patterns, define system and process requirements, and help build scalable workflows, automations, controls, and reporting for assigned hardware business units.

• Build operating leverage through practical documentation, SOPs, playbooks, dashboards, templates, self-service guidance, intake logic, and AI-enabled workflow improvements that reduce repeated manual follow-up and recurring exceptions.

• Serve as the primary operational escalation point for assigned hardware business units, escalating risks early and driving issues through to clear resolution.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Bring 7+ years of procurement operations, P2P, supply chain operations, or related experience, ideally in hardware, goods, manufacturing, infrastructure, lab, data center, device, or similarly complex physical-goods environments.

• Demonstrate a strong working understanding of fiscal controls, accounting-adjacent procurement practices, invoice matching, accrual support, commitment visibility, and audit-ready documentation.

• Navigate request-to-PO operations, supplier workflows, PO maintenance, receiving dependencies, change management, and downstream invoice-readiness requirements with confidence.

• Understands how people, process, policy, systems, data, fiscal controls, and accounting outcomes holistically connect.

• Leverage procurement, intake, ERP, supplier, ticketing, and workflow platforms such as Zip, Oracle, Coupa, SAP, NetSuite, Jira, ServiceNow, or similar tools.

• Balance speed and business enablement with strong operational controls, particularly when urgent execution is required.

• Adapt comfortably to evolving policies, priorities, ownership structures, and operating models.

• Learn quickly and can build context across new business areas, stakeholders, systems, and supplier models.

• Communicate effectively with business partners, Procurement peers, Finance, Legal, Security, Accounting, AP, and Systems teams.

• Use data and metrics to improve cycle time, PO quality, exception rates, receiving readiness, invoice match performance, commitment visibility, accrual readiness, and downstream financial accuracy.

• Act as an operator builder who can step into the queue when needed, identify recurring patterns, and translate them into scalable workflows, tools, automations, and operating improvements.
