OpenAI•San Francisco, CA

1d•$347,000 - $490,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The legal industry team at OpenAI works with law firms, in-house legal departments, legal technology companies, and other members of the legal ecosystem to understand how AI can support professional work. The team collaborates across Product, Research, Engineering, Design, Go-to-Market, Partnerships, Safety, Security, and Legal. The goal is to help customers and partners use OpenAI's capabilities in ways that are useful, trustworthy, and complementary to existing products, expertise, and relationships in the field. As a Product Manager, you will help lead OpenAI's work with the legal industry. This is a high-ownership, hands-on role for someone who can turn incomplete information into clear priorities and shipped work. The role requires spending time with customers and partners, working closely with researchers, engineers, designers, and operators, and keeping complex work moving across teams. Success will depend on detailed, behind-the-scenes work in a fast-moving and sometimes chaotic environment. The work is important and substantive, shaping how powerful technology is used in a consequential profession. This role is based in San Francisco, CA, with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week. Relocation assistance is offered to new employees.

Requirements

Personally built and shipped zero-to-one enterprise, developer, or AI products, and stay close to users, product behavior, and the unglamorous details that determine whether something actually works.
Combine strong product judgment with technical curiosity: you can reason from model and evaluation evidence, distinguish model, data, workflow, trust, and delivery problems, and change direction when the facts change.
Earn credibility with demanding practitioners and partners, collaborate with low ego across teams you do not manage, and bring clarity, pace, and calm to complex, fast-moving work.

Nice To Haves

Legal or regulated-industry experience is helpful, but a J.D. is not required.

Responsibilities

Turn customer, partner, market, and model evidence into a clear product strategy and roadmap for OpenAI’s work with the legal industry—including what to build, what not to build, and where ecosystem partners should lead.
Define requirements and take products from early concept through real-world use and iteration.
Lead execution across Research, Engineering, Design, Safety, Security, FDE, Go-to-Market, and Partnerships—resolving ambiguity, surfacing tradeoffs, inspecting outputs, and closing the detailed loops required to ship trustworthy products.
