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, and meeting global compliance standards are essential to our success and societal impact.

Security at OpenAI is a cross-cutting function that spans infrastructure, applied engineering, legal, policy, and product. Technical Program Managers (TPMs) play a critical leadership role in aligning teams and delivering execution at scale and this role will be foundational in shaping how we secure OpenAI’s systems, users, and commitments.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive cross-functional security, privacy, IT and compliance initiatives at the intersection of infrastructure, product, and policy. You will execute complex programs that reduce internal data access, prevent misuse, and ship security capabilities. You will focus your efforts on the most critical initiatives within Security, crossing the spectrum of insider threat, information security, physical security, and information technology challenges.

This role is deeply technical and execution-focused. It requires a structured operator who thrives in ambiguity, partners effectively across boundaries, and applies principled judgment to scale trust, governance, and security across OpenAI’s systems and products.

In this role, you will:

• Drive execution of critical security and compliance programs such as vulnerability management, merger and acquisition security and integration, infrastructure hardening, and datacenter security management. You will need to deeply collaborate on technical architecture and resolve technical problems in partnership with engineering.

• Partner with IT, Infrastructure, Application, Legal, Privacy, and Security teams to build scalable programs, and deliver critical security outcomes across multiple disciplines, including insider threat, information security, physical security, and information technology.
