About the Team OpenAI Finance is responsible for ensuring the organization is set up for success in pursuit of its mission. OpenAI’s Tax and Trade team sits at the center of OpenAI’s global growth—shaping how cutting-edge AI products, partnerships, and infrastructure scale across borders while navigating complex tax, trade, and regulatory regimes. We operate as strategic operators, not just compliance experts, embedding early in product, finance, policy, and infrastructure decisions to manage risk, unlock incentives, and enable OpenAI to grow responsibly and competitively worldwide. As OpenAI’s products, monetization models, and global infrastructure expand, our tax systems must scale with the same rigor and reliability as our product architecture. The team partners deeply with Financial Engineering, Product Engineering, and Finance Systems to build a modern tax technology stack that enables accurate, real-time tax determination across OpenAI’s global business. About the Role We're hiring a Director, Tax Infrastructure & Incentives to lead OpenAI's global tax infrastructure strategy supporting AI infrastructure expansion programs. You will own the tax strategy supporting data center development, site selection, infrastructure investments, and government incentive programs across. This role extends far beyond traditional property tax planning and reporting - you will help shape where and how OpenAI invests billions of dollars in AI infrastructure by partnering with executive leadership, infrastructure teams, governments, utilities, and external stakeholders. You will build scalable frameworks for negotiating and managing tax incentives, property tax, indirect tax, and infrastructure-related tax matters while developing repeatable processes that enable OpenAI to expand rapidly across multiple jurisdictions. You will also establish the governance, reporting, and operational infrastructure required to support long-term compliance, financial reporting, and executive

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.
