## About the role

We’re seeking a Senior Manager, Financial Risk Management to help shape and scale OpenAI’s risk and controls framework across several dynamic business domains. This role will focus on identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating operational and financial risk across areas such as payments, equity, strategic investments, procurement, people processes, systems, third-party dependencies, and other finance-critical workflows. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of experience in financial risk management, operational risk, internal controls, SOX/ICFR, internal audit, controllership, finance transformation, or related risk/control roles
- Experience working with at least some domains such as payments, procurement, strategic investments, M&A integration, HR/people processes, financial close, controllership, third-party risk, or other operational business processes
- Strong judgment on how to design the right level of control in a fast-scaling company, including where lightweight guardrails are sufficient, where formal ICFR/SOX controls are required, and where automation or monitoring is the better answer
- Experience working in environments with evolving systems, incomplete process structure, unclear ownership, or fragmented data — and bringing order without over-engineering
- Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with operational, finance, legal, people, procurement, corporate development, and technical teams, including stakeholders who may initially view controls as slowing them down
- Strong ability to translate broad risks into actionable controls, RCMs, narratives, operating requirements, quality gates, KRIs, dashboards, and remediation plans
