The team is instrumental in developing policy frameworks and strategic priorities to best enable both innovative and responsible use of AI so that our groundbreaking technologies are truly used to benefit all people in pursuit of our mission.

About the Role

As Data Scientist and early member of our Measurement team on Product Policy, you will help to ensure a data-driven policy development culture at OpenAI.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally across the organization, including with  Policy Research, Safety Systems, Intel & Investigations, Global Affairs, to coordinate research and data insights , and more

  • Establish a data-driven policy development culture by driving the definition, tracking, and operationalizing of policy-success metrics

  • Develop and socialize dashboards, reports, and other ways of enabling the team and company to answer policy data questions

You might thrive in this role if you have:

  • 7+ years experience in a quantitative role navigating highly ambiguous environments, ideally as a founding data scientist, researcher, or product analyst 

  • Defined, implemented, and operationalized new feature and product-level metrics from scratch, especially in ambiguous areas related to AI policy or social science 

  • Strategic insights beyond the paradigm of statistical significance testing

  • An interest in user behavior and identifying optimized approaches to hard problems 

  • Excellent communication skills with demonstrated ability to communicate with product managers, engineers, researchers, and executives alike

You could be an especially great fit if you have:
