About the team

The Recruiting team at OpenAI is well trusted and supported to work cross-functionally with all hiring leaders throughout the organization to identify and close incredible talent, provide an excellent candidate experience, and maintain our high hiring bar and talent density.

We hypothesize that our mission needs the world's best talent and therefore believe sourcing will be instrumental in achieving long-term hiring success. As the first sourcer at OpenAI, you'll have the opportunity to act as a strategic leader and build out org-wide best practices and processes. 

About the role

We're seeking to hire our first senior G&A sourcer to lead the talent outreach and strategy for our G&A roles across the organization. You'll work in partnership with our Finance, Legal, and HR teams. You may also branch into technical roles as needed or desired and work with experts in this specialty. 

Our team has an outsized impact opportunity for someone who has deep experience sourcing for a wide range of high-impact roles and driving all the front-end candidate funnel stages. You'll own hiring manager relationships across the entire organization, identify and engage leading experts in their respective fields, and partner with our recruiters and leaders to carefully scale and optimize our teams.

In this role, you will:

• Utilize non-traditional and creative strategies to discover talent through events, talks, contests, etc.
• Take a highly organized and data-driven approach to candidate tracking and pipeline health.
• Represent OpenAI and engage with candidates at conferences and events.
• Effectively lead and contribute to cross-functional projects.

Our candidates will have a mix of:

• 5+ years of experience sourcing talent across a range of specializations, including Finance, Legal, Operations, GTM, Trust & Safety teams
• Experience sourcing for non-technical roles such as product design, program management, policy, communications, legal, finance, operations, marketing, etc.
• Demonstrable success in hiring top technical talent at a premier tech company or high growth startup
• Track record of delivering healthy candidate volume while maintaining a high degree of responsiveness and care to each stakeholder and candidate in the process.

You might thrive in this role if you:
