The Consumer Products organization at OpenAI builds products that bring advanced AI into the physical world. Our teams span hardware, software, design, research, and operations, working together to deliver thoughtfully crafted products at global scale.

Hiring at this level requires precision, discretion, and a deeply respectful candidate experience. The Recruiting team plays a critical role in how leaders and senior contributors experience OpenAI - often through their very first interactions with the company.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 4 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

• Act as a strategic partner to hiring leaders; align on priorities, org design, and proactive pipelines across key areas.

• Source, engage, and nurture top talent across cross hardware, software, design, research, and/or operations.

• Use data (funnels, passthrough rates, cycle time, source mix) to improve process, leveling, and compensation decisions.

• Shape interview plans and rubrics; uphold consistent, inclusive assessments and a great candidate experience.

• Craft compelling closing narratives and navigate complex, competitive negotiations.

• Collaborate closely with sourcing partners on talent maps and longterm pipelines.

• Have 8+ years recruiting in highly technical domains.

• Demonstrate success hiring across hardware, software, design, research, and/or operations.

• Influence with clear data and market insight; communicate crisply with executives and candidates.

• Close thoughtfully-balancing candidate motivations, market dynamics, and compensation frameworks.

• Thrive in fastmoving, ambiguous environments and care deeply about safety and impact.
