About the Role
The Executive Business Partner will be a proactive and adaptable partner to executives, managing complex scheduling, coordinating projects, and optimizing workflows. This role requires independence, task‑level ownership, and a deep understanding of OpenAI’s mission to foster AGI that benefits humanity. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, rapidly‑evolving business priorities, and can drive best practices to help scale exec and team operations.
This role is based in San Francisco. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
In this role, you will:
Build strong connections within the immediate team and across other departments, becoming a trusted partner to leaders. This includes an understanding of team dynamics, priorities, and stakeholders, facilitating seamless coordination on high‑stakes projects.
Excel in sharing information clearly and efficiently, adapting communication styles for a broad range of audiences.
Balance the calendars and priorities of multiple leaders, demonstrating prioritization skills and agility in adapting to shifts in priorities, while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines.
Operate with discretion and independence, proactively optimizing processes and flagging risks, while ensuring sensitive information is handled with care.
You might thrive in this role if you have / are:
7+ years of experience in an executive support (or similar) role.
Supported multiple leaders with complex and highly cross‑functional teams.
Worked directly with customer‑facing teams (Sales or Marketing) in a high‑growth startup, or similar environment.
Managed and optimized extremely busy calendars.
Extreme attention to detail – it’s not a personality trait but an exercised functional skill e.g. mastery of project‑based tools; tracking near/long‑term deliverables.
Exceptional communication skills – being able to tailor a message appropriate to a specific audience (writing an email to a customer vs. an exec).
Professionalism and discretion – you understand the balance between transparency and confidentiality.
Independent task‑level operator.
One‑team mindset – Partnership and collaboration is a cornerstone in how you operate.
Extremely fluent in Slack, Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, and other modern productivity software, and are excited to learn and use new tools.
Genuine interest in the technology we’re building and the transformative potential of AI.
Capable and comfortable working in a rapidly changing and often ambiguous environment.
