OpenAI's governance team is hiring a research program manager in San Francisco on a hybrid, full-time basis. The job is to run governance reviews: gathering technical, policy and operational input, framing questions, writing assessments and recommendations for board-level and senior decision-makers, then turning decisions into tracked work with owners and milestones. It covers areas such as safety advisory and board oversight, deployment governance, or standards and partner commitments. The posting wants cross-functional program-management experience, clear writing, and judgement in sensitive, ambiguous situations.
