## Description

We are looking for a Safety Transparency Editor to own the editorial quality of key safety transparency artifacts and systems.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can write crystal-clear, pitch-perfect explanations of the hardest and highest-stakes technical safety topics that OpenAI tackles, and who can lean into AI to build systems that help the broader organization do this work better.

Your core responsibility is to shape and execute how our technical safety work is externally communicated: identifying the narrative thread, exercising judgment about which details matter, determining where additional context, explanation, or supporting evidence is needed, translating complexity without sacrificing precision, and helping external audiences understand both the safety measures we’ve taken and the uncertainties that remain.

**Responsibilities:**

- Serve as the narrative DRI for system cards and related transparency artifacts from initiation through publication.

- Partner with the Safety Programs team, 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.

**Benefits:**

- $284K – $315K • Offers Equity

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family, with employer contributions to Health Savings Accounts

- Pre-tax accounts for Health FSA, Dependent Care FSA, and commuter expenses (parking and transit)
