Trust & Safety Ads Operations Analyst, Data

About the Team

At OpenAI, Trust & Safety Operations is central to protecting OpenAI’s platform, customers, and the public from abuse. We partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Policy and Go To Market teams to identify emerging risks, build and mature enforcement systems, and ensure high-integrity operations while delivering a great user experience at scale.

We’re building the Monetization Trust & Safety Operations team to ensure OpenAI can grow advertising in a way that is safe, trusted, and sustainable—for users, advertisers, and the business. This team sits at the intersection of operational scale, product risk, and rapid revenue growth, designing systems and operations that enable ads to scale without compromising user trust or safety. It’s critical to us that our Ads product be built in a way that corresponds to our Ads principles, and this team is key to that.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• 8+ years of experience in Trust & Safety, Business Integrity, technical operations, data analytics, or a closely related domain.
• Strong SQL skills and comfort working with unfamiliar, complex datasets, reconciling source-of-truth questions, and resolving data-quality issues.
• Experience building and owning dashboards, recurring reporting, monitoring, or operational measurement systems from scoping through adoption and maintenance.
• Experience using data for budget, capacity, or workforce planning, including translating demand, quality, and service-level signals into practical operating plans.
• Proven ability to independently own ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives and turn analysis into decisions, workflows, or scalable systems.
• In-depth experience leveraging AI models or agent-based tooling in operational workflows, or other lightweight technical development where useful.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain complex analyses, data limitations, risk tradeoffs, and recommendations to diverse audiences.
• Strong judgment around quality, safeguards, responsible deployment, and the appropriate use of data in high-stakes operational decisions.
• Bonus: Familiarity with ads and advertiser ecosystems and the operational signals that shape review, enforcement, and support decisions.
