The opportunity
OpenAI builds powerful AI systems like ChatGPT, the OpenAI API, and enterprise products that serve millions of users across the globe. As we scale, securing our infrastructure, protecting sensitive data, and meeting global compliance standards are essential to our success and societal impact.
What you'll do
Drive execution of critical security and compliance programs such as: vulnerability management, merger and acquisition security and integration, infrastructure hardening, and datacenter security management. You will need to deeply collaborate on technical architecture and resolve technical problems in partnership with engineering.
Partner with IT, Infrastructure, Application, Legal, Privacy, and Security: teams to build scalable programs, and deliver critical security outcomes across multiple disciplines, including insider threat, information security, physical security, and information technology.
Establish scalable frameworks and build programs around critical security: initiatives including vulnerability management, evidence collection, incident response coordination, supply chain risk management, and device security.
Track and enforce OpenAI’s privacy and security requirements by translating: commitments into engineering milestones and driving their full implementation across systems.
Create and maintain program-level visibility across risk areas, security: milestones, and cross-org dependencies—ensuring outcomes are delivered reliably and at high quality.
Communicate status, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions clearly to technical and: executive audiences and drive cross-functional execution with urgency and care.
What they're looking for
- Are an empathetic communicator and leader—able to influence across technical: and non-technical audiences, and build durable trust with partners.
- Have 5+ years of experience leading complex technical programs focused on: infrastructure security, data privacy, compliance, or enterprise platform capabilities.
- Are deeply fluent in the intersection of engineering systems, security: controls, and regulatory expectations—and are able to bring clarity and structure across all three.
- Thrive in high-trust environments, bring rigor and systems thinking to: ambiguity, and operate with a bias for aligned execution over org boundaries.
