The T&S Network estimates this role to be P3, Senior. The typical base salary for that level in Scaled Ops & Moderation is $190k to $260k at a frontier lab. Key skills at this level: forecasts volume and staffs against it with real error bars, owns service levels and can explain a miss without blaming the queue, and governs a vendor relationship on quality, not only on cost per action.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: posts $220k to $245k base at a frontier lab · the title reads as P2.
The role, in T&S terms
Written by the T&S Network from OpenAI's posting.
Owns the editorial quality of OpenAI's public safety transparency artifacts, mainly system cards and related materials, explaining how frontier models are evaluated for safety, what safeguards are built, and what uncertainty remains. The work sits in the Trustworthy AI team within Safety Systems, which is growing its safety transparency function to help external audiences understand technical safety work.
What you'd do
- Run the narrative and drafting for system cards and related transparency pieces, from kickoff through publication.
- Work with Safety Programs, evaluators, red-teamers, policy, legal, and comms on materials tied to model launches.
- Translate evaluation methods, preparedness frameworks, and mitigations into accessible public explanations.
- Decide which context, caveats, and supporting evidence external readers need to understand residual uncertainty.
- Shape editorial structure and narrative arc for blogs, governance documents, and technical explainers.
- Build AI-assisted workflows, templates, and publication processes to produce transparency artifacts faster and more consistently.
- Help evolve the Deployment Safety Hub as a public destination for technical safety information.
What it asks for
- Strong professional writing and editing experience with highly technical subject matter.
- Proven skill in turning mixed source material into organized, ready-to-publish documents.
- Experience using AI tools deeply in editorial or research workflows.
- Ability to learn unfamiliar technical domains quickly, including frontier AI safety concepts.
- Experience building repeatable editorial processes or automated workflows (preferred).
Terms in this role
- Red teaming.
- Testing a system, often an AI model, by deliberately trying to make it fail or misbehave, so problems are found and fixed first.
