This role owns the end-to-end operations and systems that enable the smooth, scalable delivery of manager development programs at OpenAI. It supports virtual and in-person programs, manages learning systems and data, and helps scale impact through coaching operations, facilitation support, and manager-facing resources—partnering closely with L&D, HRBPs, Workplace, and external partners.
Job Responsibility:
Program Operations and Facilitation: Drive day-to-day logistics for manager development programs, including scheduling, communications, stakeholder coordination, and smooth execution across virtual and in-person formats
regularly facilitate live sessions
Systems & Data: Own program setup, enrollment, and tracking in our Learning Management System (Sana) to support accurate measurement, reporting, and scalable delivery of learning programs
Instructional Design: Contribute to the design and iteration of manager development programs using adult learning principles to meet evolving business needs as the organization scales
Coaching Operations: Manage intake, onboarding, scheduling, and tracking for coaching participants, cohorts, and timelines in partnership with HRBPs, leaders, and external coaching providers
Learning Content & Enablement: Create, maintain, and scale manager-facing resources—including async training, job aids, templates, toolkits, and intranet content—to reinforce learning beyond live programs
Team Support: Provide ad hoc program, facilitation, and operational support to the team as needed
Requirements:
5+ years of experience designing, managing, facilitating, and scaling learning or manager development programs in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with exposure to complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives
Strong end-to-end program ownership, including translating business needs into learning experiences, managing program workflows and systems, and ensuring high-quality delivery across manager and leadership programs
Experience leveraging learning systems and data (e.g., LMS platforms such as Sana or similar) to drive enrollment strategy, program sequencing, measurement, and continuous improvement—not just administration
Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to balance strategic program thinking and hands-on execution, anticipate risks, and adapt programs in real time
Clear and influential communicator, comfortable partnering with L&D peers, HRBPs, leaders, facilitators, and external vendors to align on goals, expectations, and outcomes
Experience supporting and contributing to live learning experiences, including virtual and in-person sessions, with the ability to assist with facilitation, content iteration, or delivery as needed
Self-directed and proactive, with strong judgment and comfort operating in ambiguity while continuously improving program effectiveness and participant experience
Nice to have:
Demonstrated experience supporting manager, leadership, or coaching programs—with an understanding of the unique challenges of manager capability-building—strongly preferred
