About this role

About the Team

OpenAI's Industrial Compute organization is building the world's most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. Through strategic partnerships and self-built campuses, we are scaling one of the world's fastest-growing AI infrastructure platforms.

The Supply Chain organization ensures critical infrastructure components—from compute systems and networking equipment to integrated rack solutions—are sourced, manufactured, qualified, and delivered with the speed and reliability required to support frontier AI development. We partner closely with Hardware Engineering, Manufacturing Quality Engineering, Infrastructure Delivery, Hardware Operations, Finance, and suppliers worldwide to build a resilient, scalable supply chain capable of supporting rapid infrastructure expansion.

As Industrial Compute continues to grow, Supply Chain serves as the operational bridge between engineering innovation and large-scale infrastructure deployment.

About the Role

We are seeking a Supply Chain Manager to lead strategic execution across sourcing, supplier operations, manufacturing quality, and infrastructure delivery for OpenAI's AI infrastructure portfolio.

This role will oversee a multidisciplinary team responsible for strategic sourcing, manufacturing quality engineering, and technical program management while partnering closely with engineering, finance, hardware operations, and deployment teams. You will drive supplier strategy, manufacturing readiness, production planning, quality performance, and operational execution across the full hardware lifecycle.

Success requires balancing long-term supplier strategy with day-to-day execution. You'll establish scalable operating mechanisms, strengthen supplier partnerships, manage complex cross-functional programs, and ensure OpenAI can rapidly deploy AI infrastructure without compromising quality, cost, or reliability.

This is a people leadership role responsible for developing a high-performing organization while driving operational excellence across OpenAI's infrastructure supply chain.
