代理人标准专员，全球事务
Agent Standards Specialist, Global Affairs
关于团队
OpenAI 的使命是确保通用人工智能造福全人类。我们认为，实现这一目标需要与公共政策利益相关者及受人工智能影响的更广泛社区进行有效互动。因此，我们的全球事务团队与政府官员和更广泛的 AI 政策制定社区建立真实、协作的关系，以支持我们在这些领域共同的工作。我们确保政策制定者的洞察力能够指导我们的工作，并与我们的同事和外部利益相关者合作，努力制定符合并支持我们使命的政策。
关于职位
随着 AI 代理从回答问题转向在互联网上采取行动，规范身份、授权、发现、通信、代理电商和支付接口、面向代理的网页访问、代理特定的来源记录以及可审计性等方面的标准，将决定代理是否能够安全、互操作且具备明确的责任归属。OpenAI 正在寻找一名代理标准经理，负责执行我们针对特定代理标准工作流的外部技术标准战略。
该职位将与代理安全、应用和平台团队，产品、法律、GRC、全球事务和 GRT 紧密合作，将 OpenAI 的技术架构和控制措施转化为可信的规范、协议配置文件、保证标准和实施指南，并在这些要求成为障碍之前将其纳入产品和安全路线图。此职位是技术标准职位，而非广泛的公共政策职位。
这不仅是一个对外的角色，也是一个实干家的角色。您将执行优先级明确的标准计划，起草和协商协议，建立联盟，获得必要的内部批准，并代表 OpenAI 参与指定的技术论坛。您还将帮助创建可重复的过程，使公司能够在不依赖于某一个人或让技术团队在核心工作之外承担外部标准工作的前提下，塑造代理标准。
代理标准经理是一个整合者，而不是每个底层技术系统的拥有者。安全、产品、工程和其他指定的技术团队仍保留对架构、威胁模型、控制措施、产品决策、审批和实施的拥有权。该职位负责工作流规划、标准转化和草案编写

About the Team
OpenAI’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 shape policy so that it aligns with and supports our mission.
About the Role
As AI agents move from answering questions to taking action across the internet, the standards that govern identity, delegated authority, discovery, communications, agentic-commerce and payment interfaces, agent-facing web access, agent-specific provenance, and auditability will determine whether agents can operate safely, interoperably, and with clear accountability. OpenAI is looking for an Agent Standards Manager to lead execution of our external technical standards strategy for a defined set of agent standards workstreams.
This role will work closely with Agent Security, Applied and Platform teams, Product, Legal, GRC, Global Affairs, and GTM to turn OpenAI’s technical architecture and controls into credible specifications, protocol profiles, assurance criteria, and implementation guidance—and to bring emerging external requirements back into product and security roadmaps before they become blockers. The positions developed here are technical standards positions, not broad public-policy positions.
This is a builder’s role as much as an external-facing role. You will execute a prioritized standards plan, author and negotiate protocols, build coalitions, secure the right internal approvals, and represent OpenAI in assigned technical forums. You will also help create repeatable processes that let the company shape agent standards without depending on a single person or relying on technical teams to carry external standards work on top of their core jobs.
The Agent Standards Manager is an integrator, not the owner of every underlying technical system. Security, Product, Engineering, and other designated technical teams retain ownership of architecture, threat models, controls, product decisions, approvals, and implementation. This role owns workstream planning, standards translation, drafting, negotiation, external representation within approved mandates, commitment traceability, and implementation handoff.
In this role, you will:
- Own a focused workstream plan for core agent identity, discovery, and delegated-authorization standards, with adjacent agentic-commerce, web-access, provenance, and auditability work assigned through portfolio prioritization.
- Recommend where OpenAI should lead, shape, monitor, oppose, or decline to participate within the assigned workstream, based on technical maturity, governance quality, strategic leverage, implementation readiness, and company priorities.
- Develop technical standards positions and normative contributions that preserve distinctions among the human or service principal, agent, workload or runtime, task, session, resource, and policy decision.
- Shape requirements for scoped delegation, attenuation, step-up approval, revocation, credential custody, runtime binding, discovery, interoperability, agent-specific provenance, and auditable action trails.
- Embed with Agent Security and Applied or Platform teams to translate internal architecture and controls into technically credible specifications, profiles, white papers, and assurance evidence without overstating maturity or deployment status.
- Lead review and approval paths across Product, Security, Engineering, Legal, GRC, Global Affairs, and GTM; maintain clear mandates, red lines, owners, dependencies, and external commitments.
- Represent OpenAI in priority venues and coalitions, such as IETF and OAuth-related work, FIDO, OIDF, W3C, AAIF, and relevant NIST or ISO efforts; build trust with peer companies, standards operators, and public-sector stakeholders.
- Bring external standards intelligence back into product, security, compliance, and go-to-market decisions early enough to shape roadmaps and avoid retrofit, launch, procurement, or market-access friction.
- Contribute reusable playbooks, decision records, contribution patterns, and handoffs that reduce key-person risk across the assigned workstream.
You might thrive in this role if you:
- Have strong experience in technical standards, internet protocols, identity and access, security architecture, applied cryptography, or closely related product or infrastructure work.
- Have authored, edited, or materially shaped normative specifications, profiles, drafts, or conformance requirements in serious technical standards or open-source governance settings.
- Can reason clearly about OAuth and OIDC, FIDO or WebAuth, workload identity, HTTP signatures, delegated authority, credential lifecycle, revocation, provenance, and auditability; you do not need to be expert in every layer.
- Understand that agent trust is a composed stack rather than a single credential, and can separate principal, agent, runtime, task, session, resource, and policy claims.
- Can distinguish adopted standards, stable extensions, active drafts, working-group proposals, and exploratory ideas—and know how that maturity should change OpenAI’s posture.
- Earn trust with engineers and security leaders while also communicating crisply with lawyers, product leaders, executives, policymakers, and external standards participants.
- Have strong judgment in ambiguous, high-stakes environments and know when to lead, compromise, oppose, escalate, or walk away.
- Write clearly, negotiate constructively, and are comfortable representing OpenAI externally with discretion.
