About the role

Editorial-focused role responsible for the quality and external communication of OpenAI’s safety transparency artifacts and systems, including system cards, Deployment Safety Hub, blogs, governance documents, and related materials.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the narrative DRI for system cards and related transparency artifacts from initiation through publication.
  • Partner with Safety Programs, researchers, evaluators, red-teamers, policy experts, legal teams, communications partners, and launch teams to translate technical findings into public-facing materials.
  • Write clear, precise explanations of highly technical safety topics for external audiences without sacrificing rigor or nuance.
  • Shape the editorial structure and narrative arc of transparency artifacts, ensuring they accurately communicate what OpenAI has done, why it matters, and where uncertainty remains.
  • Exercise strong editorial judgment to determine what context is necessary, what caveats should be highlighted, and where additional explanation or supporting evidence may be needed to strengthen public understanding.
  • Improve repeatable editorial processes, templates, and publication workflows.
  • Use AI tools to accelerate drafting, synthesize source materials, identify precedents, prepare reviewer packets, and improve consistency across artifacts.
  • Build systems and workflows that make transparency efforts faster, more scalable, and more effective over time.
  • Support blogs, governance documents, technical explainers, and other technical safety communications when needed.
  • Help evolve the Deployment Safety Hub and related transparency surfaces over time.

Qualifications

  • Exceptional writer and editor capable of simplifying highly technical topics without losing precision.
  • Strong editorial judgment to identify narrative threads and determine essential details and context.
  • Proven ability to own complex projects from start to finish.
  • Ability to synthesize diverse inputs into publication-ready artifacts.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with technical experts to make work accessible without oversimplifying it.
  • Deep AI-native mindset with interest in automating and systematizing editorial processes.
  • Commitment to rigor, intellectual honesty, and accuracy.
