OpenAI is hiring an Economic Development Lead for its Site Readiness & Development team, which turns powered-land opportunities into infrastructure options. The work starts during site evaluation, before projects are public: shaping incentive strategy, negotiating with state and local officials, drafting community-benefit commitments tied to agreements, flagging approval risks, and coordinating with site selection, land, power, legal and finance. It asks for 6+ years in economic development, public-private partnerships, infrastructure or government affairs, plus large-project incentive deals. Local relationships pass to a Community Engagement Lead near announcement.
