  • Identify and address commercial, product, regulatory, privacy, and other legal issues arising from commercial transactions.
  • Develop strategies and processes for handling legal issues in creative and scalable ways that support growth.
  • Monitor and advise on regulatory and compliance matters affecting AI and technology.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across OpenAI’s global legal team to ensure alignment across jurisdictions.

You might thrive in this role if you :

  • Have 7+ years of experience across in-house and technology-focused law firm roles.
  • Bring a strong background in drafting and negotiating complex commercial contracts.
  • Are comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial environment, and are proactive and independent.
  • Communicate with clarity and business judgment, tailoring advice to enable responsible growth.
