Research Program Manager, Human Data Campaigns

OpenAI's Human Data Team creates custom data solutions driving groundbreaking research. Our work enhances and evaluates our flagship models and products like ChatGPT, GPT-5, and Sora, and contributes to safety initiatives through collaboration with our Preparedness and Safety Systems teams.

As a Research Program Manager (RPM) in the Human Data team you will partner with research and engineering to design and implement pragmatic solutions for collecting high-quality data. You will be a key interface between our research roadmap, external vendors, AI trainers, and the Human Data engineering team.

This role is based in our San Francisco HQ.

• Collaborate with Research:
  Partner with researchers to scope data collection needs, define success metrics, and establish quality measurement frameworks.
• Design & Execute Data Collection Campaigns:
  Translate research needs into actionable plans and accelerate execution by leveraging existing tooling and iterating to reach the desired outcome. In many cases, you will need to implement scrappy new solutions while partnering with engineering to design robust/scalable solutions.
• Unblock Yourself:
  You must be deeply uncomfortable with the idea of sitting around waiting for external dependencies, and have the technical acumen and drive to figure out how to achieve at least partial success in the interim.
• Optimize Systems & Processes:
  Build and optimize dashboards to track campaign performance, leveraging SQL and Python for data analysis and actionable insights.
• Drive Technical Roadmaps:
  Collaborate with engineers to enhance data platforms, resolve blockers, and ensure security best practices such as access management.
• Scale Your Impact :
  Advise and empower program managers and vendors to drive day-to-day execution so that you can focus on addressing high priority opportunities.
