The opportunity
The OpenAI for Government team brings frontier AI to public institutions to help them achieve their missions. We partner with government leaders, scientists, and technical teams to deploy AI tools responsibly, with the reliability, security, and support needed for meaningful use.
What you'll do
Build trusted relationships with DOE leadership, lab directors, research: leaders, and technical and mission teams to identify priorities and turn senior alignment into actionable engagements.
Own delivery plans for assigned DOE and national lab engagements, with clear: milestones, accountable owners, customer acceptance criteria, and measurable scientific or operational outcomes.
Translate research and mission needs into requirements and decisions that: engineers, researchers, and senior leaders can act on; communicate progress, limitations, risks, and dependencies clearly.
Connect national lab researchers with OpenAI Research, Product, and: Engineering teams to assess promising scientific applications and move feasible opportunities into scoped, supported projects.
Coordinate the Applied AI Architect, specialist engineers, and customer: technical teams on architecture, data access, evaluation, integration, and deployment requirements.
Build sustained adoption through practical enablement, user feedback,: workflow support, and repeatable playbooks that can be applied across labs and other science agencies.
What they're looking for
- Lead executive reviews and focused workshops in Washington and at customer: sites, bringing the right decision-makers and technical experts together to resolve issues and advance delivery.
- Identify security, data, infrastructure, contractual, and resourcing risks: early; work with the accountable teams to resolve them and escalate decisions promptly.
- Prioritize across a small, matrixed team, make clear trade-offs, and maintain: momentum as customer needs and model capabilities evolve.
- Coordinate with the Account Director, policy colleagues, and partners on: broader DOE and science engagement, while keeping delivery commitments aligned with available resources and approved capabilities.
