OpenAI
Southeast Asia Policy & Partnerships Lead
August 5, 2024
About the Team
Open AI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We believe that achieving our goal requires effective engagement with public policy stakeholders and the broader community impacted by AI. Accordingly, our Global Affairs team builds authentic, collaborative relationships with public officials and the broader AI policymaking community to inform and support our shared work in these domains. We ensure that insights from policymakers inform our work and - in collaboration with our colleagues and external stakeholders - seek to further regulation, industry standards, and safe and beneficial development of AI tools.
About the Role
As the Southeast Asia Policy and Partnerships Lead, you will develop strategies and lead Open AI’s public policy engagement across the region and with ASEAN. You will also help develop and manage relationships with key international partners, including civil society groups, researchers and experts, seeking to advance partnerships that align with Open AI’s mission.
Open AI is constantly evolving as we release industry-leading research and tools, and you'll face new challenges as the needs of the organization evolve. Day-to-day work may encompass anything from shaping strategic initiatives and policy documents to preparing our leaders for engagements with government officials to representing Open AI in public forums.
We are looking for a self-directed and creative individual with experience managing relationships with a wide range of policymakers and policy-relevant stakeholders, a sophisticated understanding of AI-related legislative and regulatory issues and processes, and the ability to identify, design, and executive social impact partnerships.
This strategic yet hands-on role will report to the Head of APAC Policy & Partnerships and work closely with key internal and external partners.
This role is based in Singapore and will require frequent regional and global travel. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
You should thrive in this role if you:
Open AI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products. AI is an extremely powerful tool that must be created with safety and human needs at its core, and to achieve our mission, we must encompass and value the many different perspectives, voices, and experiences that form the full spectrum of humanity.
We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or any other legally protected status.
