Product Policy, Biosecurity Policy Manager
OpenAI · San Francisco
About this role
About the Team The Product Policy team develops, implements, enforces, and communicates the policies that govern use of OpenAI’s services, including ChatGPT, Codex, GPTs, and the OpenAI API. This biosecurity-focused role will help define how OpenAI enables legitimate life sciences, biomedical, and public health work while reducing the risk that our products are misused to create biological harm. This role sits at the intersection of AI capability, life sciences practice, biosecurity, biosafety, and abuse prevention: helping researchers, institutions, and other legitimate users benefit from OpenAI’s tools while setting clear boundaries against activity that could enable catastrophic biological misuse or other harmful bio-related outcomes. About the Role As a Product Policy Manager specializing in Biosecurity, you will combine deep biological, biosecurity, and policy judgment to guide how OpenAI evaluates, launches, and governs capabilities relevant to biology and the life sciences. You will work closely with product, engineering, research, safety, security, legal, operations, global affairs, and go-to-market teams to translate complex biological risk into practical product policy, implementation standards, access criteria, enforcement guidance, and launch decisions. The role requires understanding both sides of the bio equation: how legitimate researchers, clinicians, public health practitioners, and life sciences organizations use AI to advance beneficial work, and how malicious or irresponsible actors may attempt to misuse AI systems to lower barriers to harmful biological activity. Strong candidates may bring depth in one or more relevant domains, such as biosecurity, biosafety, synthetic biology, molecular biology, computational biology, bioinformatics, public health, biodefense, biological risk management, sequence screening, lab automation, institutional research governance, or life sciences R&D - along with the ability to reason across adjacent areas.
