## Description

OpenAI is seeking an accomplished CISO/CSO or equivalent cybersecurity executive to help security leaders turn frontier AI into practical cyber defense. As an Executive in Residence, you will be a visible industry voice and a trusted peer to senior customer and partner leaders, working alongside our account, technical, product, research, and deployment teams.

You will combine invited speaking and executive engagement with the work needed to move customers from interest to adoption. You will also bring field insights into OpenAI's cyber efforts and advance selected strategic initiatives agreed with cyber leadership.

**Responsibilities:**

- Represent OpenAI in consequential industry conversations. Deliver invited keynotes, contribute to substantive panels, and lead executive briefings on AI and cyber defense.

- Convene senior security leaders. Use your reputation and relationships to attract relevant audiences and host candid CISO dinners, closed-door roundtables, and peer discussions.

- Help customers make decisions and deploy. Work with account and technical teams to identify priority defensive workflows, build executive sponsorship, address organizational barriers, and shape pilots with clear objectives, owners, and next steps toward deployment.

- Bring the field into product and research. Capture customer needs, adoption barriers, and deployment lessons.

- Advance strategic initiatives. Lead selected projects where your executive experience, industry relationships, or ability to coordinate across teams can accelerate progress.

- Strengthen field effectiveness. Help teams prepare for senior security conversations, develop useful executive briefing materials, and turn engagements into sustained relationships and agreed actions.

**Requirements:**

- Experience as a CISO or equivalent security executive with direct accountability for a substantial security program.

- An established reputation among senior security leaders in a relevant region, sector, or the broader industry.

- A strong speaking record and the ability to hold a room, handle unscripted questions, and lead candid peer discussions.

- Technical depth to discuss security architecture and defensive operations with practitioners, and the judgment to explain the capabilities, limitations, and implications of AI to executives and boards.

- Trusted relationships with CISOs and other senior technology leaders, plus a record of building relationships beyond your existing network.

**Nice to Have:**

- Deep experience in technology, retail, telecommunications, life sciences, or healthcare, or a strong regional security leadership network.

- Practical work applying AI to security, leading enterprise technology adoption, or advising organizations through significant changes in security operations.

- Published practitioner work, influential research, or sustained contributions to security communities that demonstrate the substance behind your public reputation.

**Success Metrics:**

- Demand for your participation in respected industry forums, the relevance and seniority of audiences you attract, and the quality of the discussions you lead.

- Scale and scope of your online presence sharing OpenAI's message.

- Stronger executive relationships that result in clear customer decisions, well-scoped pilots, and progress toward sustained deployment.

- Specific field insights that influence product, research, or deployment decisions, and delivery of agreed strategic initiatives.

- Practical content and briefings that customers and field teams use, with evidence that engagements lead to useful follow-through.
