We elevate leadership impact by anticipating needs, streamlining processes, and providing comprehensive support so our leaders can focus on their highest-impact priorities. Through strong relationships and a deep understanding of business objectives, we help teams navigate complexity, achieve key milestones, and contribute to OpenAI’s growth and success.

Our leadership team reflects OpenAI’s culture and core values and is a mission-driven, kind, and thoughtful group. We take pride in creating a work environment that fosters collaboration, open communication, and authenticity, making OpenAI an excellent place to work for highly accomplished professionals.

OpenAI is expanding its presence across EMEA, building the teams and leadership needed to support our growth across the region.

In this role, you will:

Partner with our GM, UK & Nordics, our EMEA Communications leader, and a future EMEA Marketing leader. These leaders work closely with our Managing Director, EMEA, other regional GMs, and teams across Sales, Policy, Partnerships, and beyond to advance OpenAI’s presence in the region. You’ll help these leaders and their teams operate effectively by creating structure, driving coordination, and strengthening the operating cadence across markets, functions, and time zones. Working across regional business leadership, communications, and marketing, you’ll anticipate needs, manage competing priorities, and build connections that support effective collaboration and execution.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 5+ years experience in a cross-functional executive assistant role or similar support function.
• Successfully supported multiple leaders in the past.
• Worked in a hard tech startup or similar environment.
• Experience working across EMEA markets and collaborating with U.S.-based HQ teams.
• High cross-cultural EQ and ability to tailor communication styles for diverse stakeholders.
• Strong operational rigor — able to run cadences, track priorities, and maintain alignment across time zones.
• Comfortable supporting complex, rapid travel across international regions.
• Strong communication - being able to tailor a message appropriate to a specific audience (writing an email to a Senator vs. a Customer vs. an Exec).
• Discretion - this role will have exposure to sensitive knowledge so must be rock solid on confidentiality.
• Humility/diplomacy - this role has the potential to accrue power in a unique ways, but we want this person to be decisive and make noncontroversial decisions.
• Very fluent in Google Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Gmail, etc. and other modern productivity software, and are excited to learn and use new tools.
• Genuine interest in the technology we’re building and the transformative potential of AI.
