The opportunity
OpenAI’s Research Program Management team partners with researchers and engineers to advance the development of increasingly capable, safe, and beneficial AI systems. We work alongside teams developing our core models, helping turn ambitious research goals into coordinated…
What you'll do
Have 5+ years of experience in research program management, technical program: management, or related roles in fast-moving environments.
Can engage substantively with researchers and engineers on topics such as: model training, experimental design, model safety, evaluation methods, data workflows, compute infrastructure, or distributed systems.
Are comfortable working directly with technical tools, research data,: experimental results, or operational workflows to understand problems and develop practical solutions.
Have a strong track record of moving complex, ambiguous technical initiatives: forward across multiple teams and stakeholders.
Can distinguish what is known from what is uncertain, ask incisive technical: questions, and help teams make sound decisions with incomplete information.
Know how to introduce structure without creating unnecessary processes, and: care about making researchers more effective.
