About the Team OpenAI’s Governance, Risk, and Compliance team helps ensure security and privacy are grounded in how our products and systems actually operate. Assurance Operations partners with Security, Engineering, Infrastructure, Product, Privacy, and Legal to make controls provable, risk decisions explicit, and audit readiness a result of well-designed systems. About the Role We are hiring a technical, product-minded GRC builder who can own consequential audits while improving the control and evidence systems behind them. You will build a reusable common control framework, use Codex to automate assurance work, validate changing system scope, and turn repeated audit friction into measurable improvements. We are looking for someone who questions inherited assumptions, solves novel problems creatively, works closely with engineers, and makes the next audit easier by improving the underlying system. You’ll be responsible for: Lead external, internal, customer, and certification audit work from scoping through evidence review, fieldwork, remediation, and closeout. Build a common control framework linking risk, control intent, implementation, owner, system, environment, evidence, and applicable frameworks. Validate actual scope and ownership instead of assuming last year's controls, product boundaries, or evidence remain accurate. Use Codex to build and test evidence checks, control mappings, request triage, owner workflows, monitoring, and remediation reporting. Partner with engineers on cloud architecture, identity, logging, data flows, software changes, vulnerabilities, and control effectiveness. Design maintainable, permission-aware tools that preserve source provenance, human review, and evidence integrity.

About the Team The Integrity team builds the systems OpenAI uses to understand, prevent, and respond to misuse across our products. We partner with Product, Policy, Safety Systems, User Operations, Security, Legal, Privacy, OpenAI for Government, and research teams to turn policy and threat models into product controls, review workflows, measurement systems, and enforcement paths. About the Role We are hiring a Product Manager to own Integrity's product strategy for sensitive deployments: contexts where model capability, customer or deployment setting, privacy constraints, and misuse potential make the operating bar unusually high. This includes government and other high stakes deployments, regulated or high-trust enterprise contexts, zero data retention and privacy-constrained environments, and agentic workflows where harm can unfold across many steps rather than a single prompt. The Sensitive Deployments PM will focus on high-consequence use cases relevant to government deployments and broader deployment-readiness questions for high-risk domains (e.g., healthcare), while building reusable Integrity capabilities for agentic detection and enforcements in these environments. This position is based in San Francisco, CA, with relocation assistance available. In this role, you will: Own the roadmap for sensitive deployment Integrity controls and readiness criteria. Define how we measure residual risk, decision quality, review quality, and mitigation effectiveness.
