The T&S Network estimates this role to be P4, Staff. The typical base salary for that level in Investigations & Threat Intel is $240k to $310k at a frontier lab. Key skills at this level: runs an investigation end to end, from signal to enforcement to writeup, builds and maintains the tradecraft others on the team follow, and works law enforcement and external referral pathways correctly.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: asks for 8+ years · posts $252k to $335k base at a frontier lab · the title reads as P2 · sets strategy beyond one team.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from OpenAI's posting.
Builds the safety and risk operating model for a new category of OpenAI consumer hardware, covering product-safety incidents, critical escalations, regulated cases, and privacy-sensitive issues. The User Safety & Risk Operations team sits here to turn ambiguous, fast-moving risks into workflows, controls, and launch-ready operations.
What you'd do
- Sets the classification scheme for device safety events, including how severe each one is, who decides, when to escalate, and when to close.
- Drafts step-by-step runbooks for product-safety incidents, consumer advisories, fixes to the product, and other high-stakes events.
- Shapes handling for regulated and privacy-sensitive cases, covering restricted access, evidence standards, and audit trails.
- Converts safety and operations needs into specs for case tools, data permissions, monitoring, logs, and automation.
- Runs launch prep, tabletop drills, training, quality checks, and post-launch monitoring, then passes workflows to lasting owners.
Worth knowing
- Exposure to sensitive or concerning material is noted in the posting.
