The Executive Business Partner will be a proactive and adaptable partner to executives, managing complex scheduling, coordinating projects, and optimizing workflows. This role requires independence, task-level ownership, and a deep understanding of OpenAI’s mission to foster AGI that benefits humanity. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, rapidly-evolving business priorities, and can drive best practices to help scale exec and team operations.

Build strong connections within the immediate team and across other departments, becoming a trusted partner to leaders. This includes an understanding of team dynamics, priorities, and stakeholders, facilitating seamless coordination on high-stakes projects
Excel in sharing information clearly and efficiently, adapting communication styles for a broad range of audiences
Balance the calendars and priorities of multiple leaders, demonstrating prioritization skills and agility in adapting to shifts in priorities, while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines
Operate with discretion and independence, proactively optimizing processes and flagging risks, while ensuring sensitive information is handled with care
Requirements:
5+ years of experience in an Executive Business Partner, Chief of Staff, or senior executive support role, ideally in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
Proven experience supporting multiple senior leaders with complex, highly cross-functional portfolios, including significant external engagement
Comfortable operating at the intersection of policy, government affairs, international strategy, legal, and communications, and partnering closely with internal stakeholders across these functions
Expert at managing and optimizing extremely high-volume, high-stakes calendars, including external meetings with global partners, policymakers, and senior executives
Exceptional attention to detail—not as a personality trait, but as an exercised functional skill (e.g., mastery of project-based tools, tracking near- and long-term deliverables, anticipating dependencies and risks)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment to tailor messaging appropriately across audiences—from external partners and policymakers to internal executive leadership
High degree of professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment, with a strong understanding of when to share information and when to hold it confidentially
An independent operator who can prioritize, problem-solve, and execute with minimal direction in a dynamic environment
A strong one-team mindset, with a collaborative approach and comfort partnering across Global Affairs and the broader OpenAI organization
Highly fluent in Slack, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and other modern productivity tools, with a willingness to adopt new systems and workflows
Genuine interest in global policy, international affairs, and the responsible development and deployment of AI
Comfortable working in a rapidly evolving, often ambiguous environment, and able to maintain clarity, momentum, and calm amid change
