Model Policy Manager, National Security

About the Role

We’re hiring a Model Policy Manager to shape model behavior for U.S. government use, with a focus on national security applications. You’ll define nuanced policies and translate them into training and evaluation criteria, helping models navigate high-stakes scenarios while preserving their usefulness and capabilities.

This role is based in our San Francisco office. We offer relocation support to new employees, and we use a hybrid model: three days in the office per week with optional work from home on Thursdays and Fridays.

In this role, you will:

• Develop model policies that guide safe and useful behavior.
• Build evaluations, identify policy gaps and model failures, and use findings to improve policies and training.
• Work with research, engineering, and domain experts to support safe, reliable deployment.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Bring relevant experience in AI safety, policy, or risk assessment.
• Have strong judgment and can turn complex safety questions into clear, practical policies.
• Have the technical fluency to work hands-on with model data and evaluations.
• Are motivated by OpenAI’s mission and the responsible use of AI in safety-critical settings.
• Have an active TS/SCI clearance or equivalent.
