Security Program Manager

About this role

About the Team

OpenAI builds powerful AI systems like ChatGPT, the OpenAI API, and enterprise products that serve millions of users across the globe. As we scale, securing our infrastructure, protecting sensitive data, supporting employees’ velocity, and meeting global compliance standards are essential to our success and societal impact.

Security at OpenAI is a cross-cutting organization that includes Security, Privacy, IT, GRC, Corporate Security, and other teams. Program Managers play a critical role in aligning teams and delivering execution at scale.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Program Manager to build and own programs that span OpenAI’s Security organization, with a core focus on Mergers & Acquisitions. You will work across domains from diligence through Day 1 readiness, integration, onboarding, and transition to ongoing ownership. You will also apply what you build to other priorities that span Security teams. You will learn how work actually moves between teams, spot gaps and unclear ownership, and build practical systems that make complex transitions easier to execute.

This role is deeply cross-functional and execution-focused. It requires a structured operator who thrives in ambiguity, partners effectively across boundaries, and applies principled judgment to drive programs at speed from initial planning through durable handoff. You will use AI and automation to reduce repetitive work and help teams operate at greater scale, while applying sound judgment to sensitive information and consequential decisions.

In this role, you will:

• Own Security & IT M&A programs, including supporting System Operations and other engineering teams in defining and performing timely diligence assessments, and scoping, planning, and executing acquisition integrations. Carry the work through Day 1 readiness, onboarding of people and systems, post-close priorities, and handoff to ongoing owners.
