Contract Management Lead (Procurement)
关于团队
OpenAI 的采购与供应组织帮助公司获取并扩展推进其使命所需的产品、服务和合作伙伴关系。随着组织的发展，我们正在寻找一位具有战略眼光的建设者-运营者，以建立以人工智能驱动的合同能力，提升公司内部的速度、一致性和执行力。
在此职位中，你将与采购、法律、财务、安全、工程和业务团队的领导和相关方合作，设计并监督从需求受理到谈判及生命周期管理的合同流程。你将为模糊性带来结构，围绕共同优先事项达成共识，并建立可重复使用的运营机制、负责任的 AI 辅助工作流程以及集中的合同生命周期管理（CLM）系统，使采购协调员能够一致地执行协议，并帮助业务实现规模化。
职位简介
作为合同管理负责人，你将构建、领导并持续改进 OpenAI 的以人工智能驱动的合同支持台——这一新能力旨在在不显著增加人力的情况下扩大合同起草、审查、谈判和生命周期管理的能力。你将负责服务策略、运营模式、交付监督、协调员赋能、流程设计和绩效追踪。采购协调员将负责日常谈判和协议执行；你将确保他们拥有完成及时、一致且受良好治理结果所需的工具、手册、培训、指导和升级支持。
这是一个需要兼具强大商业合同和法律语言能力，以及产品管理思维的建设者-运营者和服务负责人角色。你将亲自参与构建支持合同支持台的系统、手册、AI 驱动的工作流程和报告——而不是亲自谈判每一份协议。你将使用合同生命周期管理（CLM）平台作为核心记录系统，将其与采购工具和合同库连接，并与法律、采购、工程、采购协调员和 CLM 技术合作伙伴合作，试点、评估和改进新兴的 AI 能力。你的工作将把合同管理转变为一项值得信赖、可衡量、持续改进的服务。

About the Team
OpenAI’s Sourcing and Procurement organization helps the company acquire and scale the products, services, and partnerships needed to advance its mission. As the organization grows, we are looking for a strategic builder-operator to establish an AI-led contracting capability that improves speed, consistency, and execution across the company.
In this role, you will partner with leaders and stakeholders across Procurement, Legal, Finance, Security, Engineering, and business teams to design and oversee the contracting process from intake through negotiation and lifecycle management. You will bring structure to ambiguity, align partners around shared priorities, and build repeatable operating mechanisms, responsible AI-assisted workflows, and a centralized contract lifecycle management (CLM) system of record that enable sourcing coordinators to execute agreements consistently and help the business scale.
About the Role
As a Contract Management Lead, you will build, lead, and continuously improve OpenAI’s AI-led contracting help desk—a new capability designed to scale contract drafting, review, negotiation, and lifecycle management without significantly increasing headcount. You will own the service strategy, operating model, delivery oversight, coordinator enablement, workflow design, and performance tracking. Sourcing coordinators will manage day-to-day negotiations and agreement execution; you will ensure they have the tools, playbooks, training, guidance, and escalation support required to deliver timely, consistent, and well-governed outcomes.
This is a builder-operator and service-ownership role for someone who combines strong commercial contracting and legal-language fluency with a product-management mentality. You will be hands-on in building the systems, playbooks, AI-enabled workflows, and reporting that support the contracting desk—not in personally negotiating every agreement. You will use a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform as the central system of record, connect it with procurement tools and contract repositories, and partner with Legal, Procurement, Engineering, sourcing coordinators, and CLM technology partners to pilot, evaluate, and improve emerging AI capabilities. Your work will turn contracting into a trusted, measurable, continuously improving service.
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:
- Own the product vision and roadmap for an AI-led contracting help desk, translating user needs into a scalable, measurable service for contract intake, triage, and lifecycle management.
- Build and continuously improve the AI-enabled contracting framework, including agent-assisted drafting, clause and fallback recommendations, negotiation guidance, risk detection, and human-in-the-loop escalation.
- Own the contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform and system of record, including workflows, approved templates and playbooks, metadata, reporting, and integrations with procurement tools and repositories.
- Enable sourcing coordinators to lead day-to-day negotiations and agreement execution through effective training, clear ownership, service levels, and operational support.
- Partner with Legal, Procurement, Engineering, Security, Privacy, and Finance to define approval guardrails, resolve escalations, and deploy AI responsibly.
- Pilot emerging contract lifecycle management and AI capabilities; measure cycle time, automation, quality, coordinator delivery, and stakeholder adoption; and use those insights to improve the service.
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Bring an AI-forward mindset, with experience building or deploying AI-enabled agents, automation, or decision-support workflows and a practical understanding of evaluation, human review, confidentiality, and operational safeguards.
- Think and operate like a product manager: identify user needs, define a roadmap, prioritize workflows, launch pilots, and continuously improve the experience using data and feedback.
- Bring strong commercial contracting and legal-language judgment; a JD, law degree, or comparable legal background is strongly preferred, but exceptional equivalent experience is welcome.
- Have implemented or owned a contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform and can design templates, clause libraries, integrations, reporting, and scalable workflows.
- Can build and run a service model that enables sourcing coordinators, clarifies ownership, tracks delivery, and escalates risk without personally owning every negotiation.
- Build trusted cross-functional partnerships and bring structure, speed, and sound judgment to ambiguous, high-stakes operational problems.
