Jobbeschreibung

About the Team

OpenAI's mission is to build safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) that benefits all of humanity. We believe that achieving this goal requires effective engagement with public policy stakeholders and the broader community impacted by AI and its rapid evolution. Our Global Affairs team builds authentic collaborative relationships with public officials and the AI policymaking community to inform and support our shared work. We ensure that insights from policymakers inform our initiatives and, in collaboration with colleagues and external stakeholders, seek to further regulation, industry standards, and the safe and beneficial development of AI tools.

About the Role

As the Germany & CEE Policy and Partnerships Lead, you will develop strategies and lead OpenAI's public policy engagement in Germany and CEE as part of our EU Member States team. You will drive campaigns on specific policy issues and develop relationships with key international partners, including civil society groups, researchers, and experts, to advance policies aligned with OpenAI's mission.

OpenAI releases industry-leading research and tools. You will face new challenges as the impact of cutting-edge generative AI technologies continues to be explored and as organizational needs evolve. Your day-to-day work may include shaping strategic initiatives, policy documents, preparing leaders for engagements with government officials, or representing OpenAI in forums.

We seek a self-directed and creative individual with experience managing relationships with policymakers and civil society groups, along with a sophisticated understanding of AI and related legislative and regulatory issues (copyright, competition, privacy, data, product safety, consumer protection).

This strategic yet hands-on role reports to the Head of European Policy & Partnerships and works closely with internal and external partners. It is among the first hires for OpenAI's newly opened presence in Germany, with the office located in Munich.

This role can be based in Munich (hybrid work model) or Berlin (remote) and will require frequent travel. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.

You should thrive in this role if you:

• Are well-versed in emerging AI technologies and eager to become conversant and confident enough to educate others.
• Are an enthusiastic coalition builder, enjoy working independently, and thrive as part of a high-performing global team.
• Are passionate about the potential of technology and AI, but thoughtful about its risks.

We are looking for a blend of:

• An established network and credibility with German and CEE policymakers, regulators, civil society, and stakeholders.
• Deep experience in technology policy.

Additional qualities include:

• Sound judgment and outstanding personal integrity.
• Ability to operate in fast, flexible environments through rapid analysis, decision-making, and action.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills to convey complex concepts to diverse audiences.
• Strong strategic thinking, problem-solving, and project management skills.
• Knowledge of the European Union policymaking system, institutions, processes, and key AI policy issues.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams, especially engineering and research, and aligning diverse partners.
• Genuine care and understanding of the societal impact of technology.
• Previous work on AI issues and technical AI development experience is a plus.
