The opportunity
About the Team OpenAI’s Alignment team works to ensure that increasingly capable AI systems reliably follow human intent, avoid catastrophic behavior, and remain controllable, auditable, and safe as capabilities scale. The team is fast-moving: priorities change as evidence, risks, and organizational needs change.
What they're looking for
- Run internal or external programs when they matter for alignment, including: events, fellowships, publishing workflows, community programs, research collaborations, and governance processes.
- Do the small work that makes the big work possible: schedule the meeting, write the first draft, clean up the tracker, follow up on the loose end, and make sure the thing actually ships.
- Have 4+ years of experience in research program management, technical program: management, operations, chief-of-staff work, partnerships, recruiting, or related roles in fast-moving environments.
- Can take a loosely scoped problem, figure out what matters, decide what needs: to happen next, and drive it without waiting for detailed instructions.
