Description
Data Visualization Analyst
About the team
The Intelligence and Investigations team seeks to rapidly identify and mitigate abuse and strategic risks to ensure a safe online ecosystem. We are dedicated to identifying emerging abuse trends, analysing risks, and working with our internal and external partners to implement effective mitigation strategies to protect against misuse. Our efforts contribute to OpenAI's overarching goal of developing AI that benefits humanity.
About the role
We are looking for a data visualization analyst who can turn complex intelligence and forecast outputs into clear, interactive visual stories that shape how OpenAI manages risk. In this role, you build the dashboards, maps, and visual frameworks that leadership and partners rely on to understand where risks are emerging, how they evolve over time, and which mitigations matter most.
In this role, you will
Design and build dashboards and interactive visualizations that track:
- Emerging safety and abuse risks across products and geographies.
- Geopolitical developments that affect OpenAI's risk posture.
- Key abuse cases and incident trends using both structured and unstructured data.
Develop interactive risk views such as:
- Prioritization heat maps for safety and abuse scenarios.
- 'Emerging risks' boards with drill-downs for deep dives.
- Forecast views of risk trajectories, including scenario comparisons over time.
Partner with analysts and investigators to:
- Translate narrative intelligence, case studies, and OSINT into visual formats.
- Standardize how we visualize incidents, metrics, campaigns, and risk clusters.
- Iterate quickly on visual prototypes in response to ongoing investigations or emerging crises.
Collaborate with data science, Safety Systems, Integrity, Global Affairs, and Product teams to:
- Ingest and align data from multiple internal systems and external sources.
- Ensure visualizations are accurate, timely, and consistent with existing metrics and taxonomies.
- Build views that are directly usable in leadership reviews, safety councils, and partner briefings.
Establish and maintain a visual 'source of truth' for:
- Top strategic risk themes and their evolution over time.
- Cross-geography views (e.g., markets, supply chains, infrastructure) for safety and geopolitical risk.
- Key mitigations and owners linked to specific risk categories or regions.
- Create templates, style guides, and reusable components so that the team can rapidly produce consistent, high-quality visual materials (dashboards, one-pagers, workshop materials, and exec reviews).
You might thrive in this role if you
- Significant experience (typically 4+ years) in data visualization, business intelligence, or analytics, ideally in security, trust and safety, intelligence, risk, or policy environments.
- Demonstrated expertise with at least one major data visualization / BI stack (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Mode, Superset, or equivalent), including building interactive visualizations and dashboards.
- Strong visual design skills and the ability to communicate complex information in a clear and concise manner.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt to changing priorities and deadlines.
- Experience with data storytelling and the ability to turn complex data into compelling narratives.
- Familiarity with OpenAI's products and services, or a strong desire to learn about them.
- A passion for using data to drive decision-making and improve outcomes.
- A commitment to delivering high-quality work and meeting deadlines.
- A willingness to learn and grow with the team and the company.
What we offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunity to work with a talented and diverse team of professionals.
- Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
- Professional development opportunities and training.
- Flexible work arrangements and remote work options.
- Access to cutting-edge technology and tools.
- Recognition and rewards for outstanding performance.
- A fun and inclusive company culture.
