Research Program Manager

OpenAI is seeking a Research Program Manager to join their team in San Francisco. In this role, you will work closely with research teams to facilitate the development of advanced AI systems. Your daily responsibilities will involve translating research priorities into actionable programs, addressing technical and operational challenges, and ensuring that projects progress smoothly despite emerging issues. The position requires hands-on engagement with research workflows, experimental results, and technical systems, rather than merely coordinating from a distance. Candidates should have over five years of experience in research or technical program management within dynamic environments. Familiarity with topics such as model training, experimental design, and data workflows is essential, as is the ability to work directly with technical tools and research data. The role operates on a hybrid work model, requiring three days in the office each week, and offers relocation assistance for new hires. This position is ideal for individuals who thrive in collaborative settings and possess strong problem-solving skills.
