About the team

The Adoption, Innovation, and Transformation (AIT) team within OpenAI for Government helps government organizations turn OpenAI products into durable capabilities and measurable mission impact. We work alongside government leaders and public servants to move from exploration to confident, responsible, organization-wide use of AI, including our Cyber and Daybreak capabilities.

About the role

We are seeking a Cyber Enablement Lead to help government cyber professionals turn Daybreak’s capabilities into stronger defenses and measurable mission outcomes. This role combines technical credibility, hands-on teaching, strategic communication, and cross-functional leadership. You will own Daybreak’s government product enablement strategy and personally design and deliver the training that brings it to life. Your work will span audience research, curriculum design, recorded demonstrations and courses, hands-on workshops, executive briefings, and cyber councils. You will work directly with U.S. and international government cyber leaders to translate frontier AI capabilities into practical workflows that address operational challenges. You will also partner with the cyber product team, bringing customer feedback, deployment challenges, and adversarial context into product development. Your work will help shape best practices for adopting and deploying our cyber tools, strengthen government cyber defenses, and inform the direction of these capabilities. You will engage across the government cybersecurity ecosystem, including Authorizing Officials (AOs), CISOs, cyber operators, developers, and senior executives. Practitioners need practical proficiency; executives need a strategic understanding of our cyber products, their value, and their implications for mission and risk. Succes
