Requirements

  • Significant experience (typically 4+ years) in data visualization, business intelligence, or analytics, ideally in security, trust and safety, intelligence, risk, or policy environments
  • Demonstrated expertise with at least one major data visualization / BI stack (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Mode, Superset, or equivalent), including building interactive dashboards for non-technical stakeholders
  • Strong baseline analytics skills, including experience taking data from APIs, building ETL pipelines, and wrangling structured and unstructured data into real-time

Responsibilities

  • Design and build dashboards and interactive visualizations that track emerging safety and abuse risks across products and geographies, geopolitical developments that affect OpenAI’s risk posture, and key abuse cases and incident trends using both structured and unstructured data
  • Develop interactive risk views such as prioritization heat maps for safety and abuse scenarios, “emerging risks” boards with drill-downs for deep dives, and forecast views of risk trajectories, including scenario comparisons over time
  • Partner with analysts and investigators to translate narrative intelligence, case studies, and OSINT into visual formats, standardize how incidents, metrics, campaigns, and risk clusters are visualized, and iterate quickly on visual prototypes in response to ongoing investigations or emerging crises
  • Collaborate with data science, Safety Systems, Integrity, Global Affairs, and Product teams to ingest and align data from multiple internal systems and external sources, ensure visualizations are accurate, timely, and consistent with existing metrics and taxonomies, and build views that are directly usable in leadership reviews, safety councils, and partner briefings
  • Establish and maintain a visual “source of truth” for top strategic risk themes and their evolution over time, cross-geography views (e.g., markets, supply chains, infrastructure) for safety and geopolitical risk, and key mitigations and owners linked to specific risk categories or regions
  • Create templates, style guides, and reusable components so that the team can rapidly produce consistent, high-quality visual materials (dashboards, one-pagers, workshop materials, and exec reviews)
