About this role
## About the Team The OpenAI for Government team is a dynamic, mission-driven group leveraging frontier AI to transform how governments achieve their missions. We empower public servants with secure, compliant AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Gov) and mission-aligned deployments that meet government technical requirements with strong reliability and safety. In this role, you’ll work across the U.S. national security and cyber ecosystem—accelerating adoption through hands-on support, tailored training, and early insights—so civil servants can spend less time on red tape and more on meaningful work. ## About the Role The **Strategic Delivery Lead (Cyber)** will identify and deliver on some of OpenAI’s most complex and high-impact deployments for the U.S. national security and cyber enterprise. You’ll partner closely with national security partners and cyber mission owners to make their hardest problems solvable on the **OpenAI Platform API** and **ChatGPT Enterprise**. This is a highly cross-functional, customer-facing role where you’ll align scope, unblock delivery, and communicate progress—from technical teams to C-suite.

You are accountable for contractual milestones and acceptance criteria. ## What You’ll Do - Forge and manage strategic partnerships with national security and cyber mission users to identify and deliver impactful AI/AGI use cases. - Serve as the accountable lead for delivering high-impact national security and cyber engagements tied to defined contractual milestones. - Translate between technical teams and business stakeholders—articulating progress, risks, requirements, and dependencies for both executives and technical practitioners. - Work with government, defense, industry partners, and academia to identify national security AI concepts (e.g., cyber defense, threat intelligence, security operations, incident response, vulnerability management workflows) and translate them into actionable delivery plans. - Partner deeply with technical teams to frame complex business and technical problems into scoped projects; guide technical direction and anticipate blockers. - Establish best practices for milestone tracking, internal coordination, and delivery operations at scale. - Build internal consensus across teams with competing priorities; secure commitments from stakeholders you don’t directly manage; drive projects to completion with limited dedicated resources. - Lead regular progress reviews with national security and cyber stakeholders to ensure transparency and confidence in delivery. - Identify delivery risks early and mitigate blockers to maintain program velocity. - Navigate ambiguity and evolving requirements while keeping internal and external teams aligned. - Help shape how OpenAI engages with national security and cyber customers through milestone-based delivery programs. ## You’ll Thrive If You Have - **10+ years** of experience in cybersecurity, national security consulting, delivery leadership, or senior program management—driving complex technical initiatives across cross-functional teams. - **Active U.S. Government TS/SCI clearance** (str
