We are seeking a senior government cyber leader to serve as Head of Government Cyber Integration for OpenAI for Government. This role will integrate OpenAI's government cyber work across strategy, testing and evaluation, trusted access, deployment, policy, security, and external engagement.

Responsibilities:

• Lead government cyber integration for OpenAI for Government, creating one shared operating picture across trusted-defender access, government cyber evaluations, priority customers, model and product readiness, deployment constraints, policy decisions, and communications moments.
• Provide strategic advice and support to OpenAI's government cyber testing and evaluation, including sensitive engagements with NSA, CISA, CYBERCOM/CNMF, CAISI/AISI, allied government cyber agencies, and trusted external evaluators.
• Advise OpenAI for Government on cyber strategy, priority agencies and missions, government trusted access expansion for cyber models, classified and accredited deployment considerations, senior cyber stakeholder engagement, and how to sequence government cyber opportunities.
• Translate government cyber requirements into clear product, research, security, and deployment asks, working closely with Product/Codex Cyber, Research/Safety, Security, Public Sector Security, and deployment teams.
• Chair a regular government cyber cross-functional team that keeps owners aligned, resolves ambiguity, identifies gaps, and forces unresolved tradeoffs into writing before they become blockers.
• Maintain a living inventory of government cyber programs, open questions, owners, dependencies, advisors, candidates, customer commitments, and decisions needed.
• Partner with Product Policy, Legal, Global Affairs, and Safety on defensive-use boundaries, government cyber authorities, access governance, ZDR/Eyes-Off tradeoffs, customer attestations, internal governance escalations, and responsible-access framing.
• Translate cyber evaluation findings into concrete recommendations for government deployment, access, safeguards, safety-stack expectations, security controls, monitoring, escalation, and external engagement.
• Represent OpenAI credibly with senior government, allied, and cyber-defense stakeholders, translating between technical evidence, operational cyber needs, policy implications, and deployment decisions.
• Help identify, recruit, and onboard government cyber talent, advisors, evaluators, and partners who strengthen OpenAI's ability to support trusted public-sector defenders.
