About The Team
OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Product Design team works across research, engineering, and product to bring OpenAI’s technology to the world through intuitive, responsible, and accessible experiences.
We serve a diverse and growing audience of users—from everyday consumers to developers to large enterprises—and we believe thoughtful design is essential to making powerful AI tools useful and understandable. We seek to learn from real-world deployment and distribute the benefits of AI, while ensuring that this transformative technology is used safely and ethically. Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.
Design plays a critical role here. To succeed in our mission, it’s essential that our design teams can focus on high-impact work, supported by clear systems, strong execution, and seamless cross-functional collaboration. We’re hiring a Product Design Operations Manager to help build the infrastructure that enables design to thrive. As the first member of the design operations function, you’ll play a foundational role in shaping how the team plans, collaborates, and delivers work across a fast-evolving product landscape.
About The Role
We’re looking for an experienced Product Design Operations Manager to help us scale, support, and streamline operations across our growing product design organization. This role is both strategic and hands-on—foundational in shaping how the team operates, and deeply involved in the day-to-day execution that enables great design work to happen.
You’ll work closely with product design leadership, research, engineering, product management, and other partners to ensure the design team can deliver high-quality work at speed and scale. The ideal candidate brings a deep understanding of design operations in high-growth technology organizations, matched with adaptability, attention to detail, and a strong sense of ownership.
This role is based in our San Francisco HQ. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
