Procurement Operations Leader

About the Team

The Procurement Operations team runs the engine that turns intent into spend at OpenAI.

We sit between the people who need things (research, product, engineering, operations) and the systems that record, pay for, and report on them. Our job is to make it easy for teams to buy what they need while ensuring every dollar lands in the right place — on the right supplier, on the right PO, with the right data — so Finance, Legal, and Security can trust the outcome.

As OpenAI scales, this team is also where AI, automation, and self-service come to life. We design workflows that let more volume move touchlessly, while embedding controls and audit trails directly into the systems — so speed and rigor grow together. This team works side-by-side with Accounts Payable, Strategic Sourcing, Legal, Security, and Finance Systems to ensure the company can move fast without losing financial integrity or control.
