Materials Management Associate Jobs

About the Team OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital partners, is embarking on a journey to build the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The Industrial Compute team is central to this mission, setting the core infra strategy and implementing this vision. From site selection to the buildout process, this team sits at the intersection of commercial, technical, strategy, and operations, interacting with teams and executives inside and outside of OpenAI. About the Role The Clean Energy and New Technology Lead will own infrastructure clean energy and emerging energy technology strategy and execution, identifying and deploying scalable solutions that enable resilient, low-carbon compute and data center growth. The role will work closely with regulatory and policy teams to align infrastructure expansion with OpenAI’s long-term environmental and operational objectives. This is an individual contributor lead role and does not have direct reports initially. The role will evaluate where emerging energy technologies can materially improve reliability, cost, carbon, speed, or resilience; translate those options into practical deployment pathways; and help ensure OpenAI’s infrastructure growth remains aligned with sustainability considerations. Key Responsibilities Evaluate emerging energy solutions such as clean firm power, advanced storage, grid flexibility, low-carbon backup power, heat reuse, water-related energy efficiency, and other scalable technologies where relevant. Identify pilot opportunities and deployment pathways that can move promising energy technologies from concept to commercially and operationally credible execution. Translate technical options into clear reliability, cost, schedule, carbon, regulatory, and operational implications for infrastructure decision-making. Partner with energy regulatory, policy, procurement, engineering, deployment, finance, legal, and site-readiness teams to align technology and sustainability choices with

About the Team Our Safety Systems team is at the forefront of OpenAI's mission to build and deploy safe AGI, driving our commitment to AI safety and fostering a culture of trust and transparency. Within Safety Systems, the Model Policy team aligns model behavior with desired human values and norms. We co-design policy with models and for models by driving rapid policy taxonomy iteration based on data and defining evaluation criteria for foundational models’ ability to reason about safety. About the Role Frontier AI systems are rapidly expanding what is possible in cybersecurity and software engineering. These capabilities create major defensive opportunities, but they also raise serious dual-use and misuse risks across areas such as malware development, exploit discovery, vulnerability chaining, credential abuse, cyber intrusion, and autonomous offensive operations. In this role, you will help define how OpenAI’s models should behave in high-risk cybersecurity contexts. You will develop policy frameworks, threat models, taxonomies, evaluations, and behavioral specifications that guide model behavior across training, deployment, and monitoring systems. This role sits at the intersection of cybersecurity, AI safety, threat modeling, evaluation science, and policy implementation. You will work closely with research, engineering, safety training, preparedness, and product teams to build policies that are technically grounded, measurable, enforceable, and responsive to real-world cyber risk. Your Responsibilities: Design and maintain model policies for cybersecurity and frontier-risk domains, especially dual-use and high-risk cyber capabilities. Translate cybersecurity threat models into clear behavioral specifications, evaluation criteria, grading guidance, and system-level mitigations. Define practical boundaries between legitimate security research, defensive workflows, and assistance that could materially enable harmful activity. Build policy artifacts that support i

About the Team Our Safety Systems team is at the forefront of OpenAI's mission to build and deploy safe AGI, driving our commitment to AI safety and fostering a culture of trust and transparency. Within Safety Systems, the Model Policy team aligns model behavior with desired human values and norms. We co-design policy with models and for models by driving rapid policy taxonomy iteration based on data and defining evaluation criteria for foundational models’ ability to reason about safety. About the Role If you have a specific expertise or speciality related to this work, please note it in your application via your resume, cover letter or application note. Frontier AI systems are expanding what people can do across domains, creating both enormous opportunities and difficult safety questions: when should a model help, when should it refuse, and how do we make those boundaries clear enough to train, evaluate, and enforce? In this role, you will help define how OpenAI’s models should behave in high-risk or high-ambiguity contexts, such as agentic systems, multimodal systems, user safety, privacy, and other emerging risk domains. This is an ideal role for someone who can move across unfamiliar topics, reason from first principles, and turn ambiguity into practical model behavior. You will work closely with research, engineering, product, preparedness, and operations teams to build policies that are technically grounded, measurable, and responsive to real-world risk. In this role, you will: Design and maintain model policies across safety-relevant domains, including dual-use, agentic, and emerging frontier-risk areas. Translate risk and harm models into clear behavioral specifications, evaluation criteria, grading guidance, and system-level safeguards. Define practical boundaries between beneficial uses of AI and assistance that could materially enable harm, exploitation, misuse, or unsafe outcomes. Build policy artifacts that support model training, evaluation, and deplo
