More about this role

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Achieving this goal requires more than cutting-edge research—it also demands deep, durable engagement with policymakers, institutions, industry leaders, and communities shaping the future of AI around the world.

The Global Affairs team leads this engagement globally, building trusted relationships with governments, regulators, civil society organizations, academic institutions, and strategic partners.

We work closely across research, product, legal, communications, partnerships, and go-to-market teams to anticipate emerging issues, shape proactive engagement strategies, and advance OpenAI’s mission internationally.
