OpenAI's Research Program Management team is hiring a Research Program Manager in San Francisco. The role embeds with research teams, turning research priorities into programs across model training, reasoning, evaluations, compute, research infrastructure, safety, model launch readiness and governance. It is hands-on work with experimental results, technical systems and engineering constraints, not coordination from the sidelines. The posting asks for 5+ years in research or technical program management and comfort discussing model training, safety, evaluation methods and distributed systems. Hybrid, three days a week in the office, with relocation assistance.
