Role
Who you are
- Excellent project management skills, with a track record of having delivered on complex initiatives in a fast-moving environment
- Experience operationalizing workflows to increase responsiveness with an eye toward continuous process improvement
- Experience in GRC, security, or security-adjacent fields
- Experience developing and navigating technical and compliance documentation and contract language
- Strong written communication and customer service skills with an ability to engage across all levels of internal and external leadership
- Strong attention to detail, including maintaining accurate records and diligently following through on open tickets
- Ability to empathize and collaborate with colleagues, independently manage and run projects, and prioritize efforts for risk reduction
- Ability to learn new skills and technologies to deliver the most effective solutions, and break down technical work into pieces that you both understand and can re-articulate to others
- You will need to be an enthusiastic self-starter, diplomatic, reliable, optimization oriented, and capable of managing interpersonal dynamics well in high-pressure situations
- We are looking for people who enjoy operating in a high accountability, high expectation environment where the goal is always to produce the best solution
- Honesty, openness to new ideas, and willingness to accept and respond to feedback are critical
What the job involves
- Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is at the foundation of OpenAI’s mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity
- The GRC team provides security assurances and builds compliance for OpenAI’s technology, people, and products
- We are technical in what we build but are operational in how we do our work, and are committed to supporting all products and research at OpenAI
- Our team tenets include: prioritizing for impact; enabling sales, product, and research; preparing for future transformative technologies; and engaging a robust security and compliance culture
- As a Compliance Operations Analyst, you will be responsible for driving compliance operations optimizations forward and owning their outcomes
- This will include building process implementations, creating documentation, and direct ownership of security assurance for clients
- You will be a part of a team of talented individuals who are just as passionate about supporting one another as they are about OpenAI’s mission
- In this role you will do more than just respond to compliance support requests; you will help support and drive the business through accurate representations of our Security & Compliance posture and anticipating the needs of our customers
- Determine and develop processes to prioritize compliance support requests for yourself and future team members
- Craft and implement processes to reduce friction and enable the teams and/or projects you support to use their resources most effectively
- Partner with internal teams to scope projects and initiatives that move our key objectives forward
- Automate away administrative burdens so you and the team can focus on the next most pressing / challenging operational priorities
- Leverage the collective knowledge of the team: learn and develop expertise to cover gaps, bolster important efforts and projects, internalize feedback, and take charge of your personal growth
- Own the operational workflows for Compliance & Security, with a focus in Customer Experience and supporting our Business teams by helping to facilitate compliance, security, and contract reviews with existing and potential customers
Our take
OpenAI aims to research and deploy AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that is safe, controllable and beneficial to all of humanity. The company began its mission by developing an API that can solve language-based tasks, such as answering written questions or pulling up relevant documents based on a query.
Following the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, which gained more than 1 million users in its first 5 days and is already worth billions, OpenAI announced a paid version named ChatGPT Plus which will be launched in the US first.
It is worth noting that OpenAI is not without controversy. Its products have sparked conversations regarding the morals and implications of AI tools, and recent investigations have uncovered misalignments between the company's public commitments and its alleged operations behind closed doors.
Whilst AI applications can be found in a vast variety of tech startups, this generally consists of the automation of algorithmic tasks such as data analysis and organization. OpenAI’s approach to designing true human-like artificial intelligence is futuristic, but with support from its high-profile partners (such as Microsoft), an annualised revenue reported at $ 2 billion in 2023, and the clear success of its products have the company well set to continue bringing advanced AI to the public.
