About the role

OpenAI Foundation is expanding its life sciences program and seeks a Program Director for High-Burden Diseases. The role involves shaping strategy, sourcing grants, and deploying resources across multiple disease areas, with a strong emphasis on external partnerships and field-building. You will operate as a cross-cutting generalist across science and health sectors. The position is based in San Francisco, CA, with a hybrid work model (3 days in office per week) and some travel.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
