Trust & Safety Analyst - job 1 of 2

About the Team

At OpenAI, our Fraud & Risk operations are central to protecting OpenAI’s platform and users from abuse. We serve a diverse customer base, ranging from individual users and early-stage startups to global enterprises, across ChatGPT and our API (and beyond!). Operating within our Support organization, our team works closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Policy, Go To Market and Operations teams to ensure we're delivering the best possible experience to our users at scale while keeping OpenAI and users safe.

About the Role

We are looking for experienced Fraud & Risk Analysts to collaborate closely with internal teams to ensure safety and compliance on OpenAI platforms. This role is pivotal in protecting our users and the platform from financial threats and fraudulent activities. You will be a stakeholder in the design and implementation of systems to take action against bad actors and minimize abuse at scale, handle high risk & high visibility customer cases with care, and build feedback loops to improve our fraud detection systems. You should have a strong background in data analysis, risk assessment, and the ability to develop and implement fraud prevention strategies. Ideally you have worked in a high-paced startup environment, handled a breadth of financial fraud and risk related issues of varying sensitivity and complexity, and are comfortable with handling deep fraud and risk craft-related issues as well as working directly with stakeholders on these issues (internal and external).

Please note: This role may involve handling sensitive content, including material that may be highly confidential, sexual, violent, or otherwise disturbing.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Work directly with customers to resolve complex fraud, account integrity, and compliance issues, working with account teams as needed

• Investigate accounts to identify and action fraudulent activity, account takeovers, and other fraud vectors and work to identify patterns, root causes, and points of vulnerability

• Partner with Product, Engineering, Legal, Operations, and Vendor teams to develop, implement, and scale new processes, tooling, and automation strategies that balance user safety, fraud loss, and customer experience

• Perform risk evaluations and investigations by reviewing documentation, internal data, and 3rd party data in order to identify new trends and attack vectors

• Serve as an incident manager for high complexity cases, acting as a nexus between our product, compliance, legal, ops, and customer-facing teams

• Represent and advocate for customer needs with product development teams, policy, legal, design, and engineering teams within OpenAI

• Equip other teams with best-in-class training, playbooks, and workflows—and bring about a deep technical understanding of our fraud and risk systems and users’ needs

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Are comfortable with building. This is an opportunity to help with scaling everything from policy enforcement through to the tooling stack to enable it. Technical or data skills are definitely a plus in this role.

• Have 5+ years of experience and a demonstrated passion for risk evaluation, financial fraud detection / investigation, compliance operations, or other similar teams

• Bring excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to comprehend and communicate complex technical issues.

• Have proven experience in scaling operations and building strong relationships cross-functionally to drive performance improvements.

• Have a humble attitude, an eagerness to help others, and a desire to pick up whatever knowledge you're missing to make both your team and our customers succeed.

• Operate with high horsepower, are adept at frequent context switching and working on multiple projects at once with expansive ownership, and ruthlessly prioritize.
