- Support strategic partnerships and distribution arrangements, including cloud platforms, resellers, and other third-party channels through which customers access OpenAI models.
- Partner with Commercial Legal, Privacy, Security, Safety, Product and Product Policy, and Go-to-Market teams on customer-facing commitments, product terms, launch readiness, and legal and regulatory requirements.
- Identify emerging legal and policy issues across OpenAI’s B2B products and help shape cross-functional strategies for addressing them.
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have 8+ years of experience with a mix of in-house or technology-focused law firm roles.
- Have a JD and license or qualification to practice in CA.
- Understand the letter of the law and can approach problems in a practical, principled approach.
