About the Role:
This role is part of a shared hiring pathway for EBPs at OpenAI. Rather than hiring directly for a single team, we evaluate candidates holistically and identify the best fit across the organization as you advance. This ensures alignment between your skills, interests, and where our needs are greatest.
The Executive Business Partner will be a proactive and adaptable partner to executives, managing complex scheduling, coordinating projects, and optimizing workflows. This role requires independence, task-level ownership, and a deep understanding of OpenAI’s mission to foster AGI that benefits humanity. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, rapidly-evolving business priorities, and can drive best practices to help scale exec and team operations.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA and will require 3-days a week in office. Relocation assistance to new employees is available.

- Supported multiple leaders with complex and highly cross-functional teams
- Worked directly with technical teams (Engineering, Product, Design, and/or Research) in a high-growth startup, or similar environment
- Managed and optimized extremely busy calendars

- Exceptional communication skills – being able to tailor a message appropriate to a specific audience (writing an email to a customer vs. an exec)
- Professionalism and discretion – you understand the balance between transparency and confidentiality
- Independent task level operator
- One-team mindset – Partnership and collaboration is a cornerstone in how you operate
- Extremely fluent in Slack, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, etc. and other modern productivity software, and are excited to learn and use new tools.
