Program Manager, Interviewer Programs

About the Team

At OpenAI, we are dedicated to building safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) to benefit all of humanity. Our mission attracts the world’s top talent in science, engineering, and business to address one of the most ambitious challenges of our times. The Recruiting team is at the heart of this mission, tasked with identifying and hiring exceptional individuals who align with OpenAI's values and cultural ambitions. Our approach to recruitment aims to set the standard for excellence and innovation in the field, connecting outstanding candidates with opportunities to impact the future of AI.

Interviewer Programs are a critical part of maintaining our high hiring bar. By building scalable systems for onboarding, training, and calibration, this team ensures that every interviewer is equipped to assess talent consistently, fairly, and effectively—while protecting candidate experience as we scale globally.

About the Role

As a Program Manager for Interviewer Programs at OpenAI, you will own the foundations of interviewer enablement. Your focus will be on interviewer onboarding, training, and calibration—ensuring new interviewers ramp quickly, current interviewers stay calibrated, and that the organization has scalable enablement processes in place as we continue to grow rapidly.

The ideal candidate has scaled interviewer programs before at a company undergoing global growth, understands the balance between operational rigor and candidate experience, and is comfortable leveraging AI tooling to bring efficiency and innovation into interviewer training and calibration.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Designing and delivering interviewer onboarding programs that quickly ramp new interviewers to certification.

• Building and maintaining training and calibration logistics that ensure consistency and fairness across a global interviewer pool.

• Partnering with recruiting operations and coordination to improve interviewer load balancing, shadowing, and scheduling.

• Embedding AI-first practices into interviewer enablement, experimenting with AI-driven coaching, dashboards, and feedback systems.

• Tracking and reporting program effectiveness through key metrics such as interviewer certification rates, calibration coverage, interviewer CSAT, and load distribution.

• Collaborating closely with recruiting leadership, program managers, and engineering to stabilize and scale interviewer programs.

We’re seeking:

• Experience building or scaling interviewer training programs in hyper-growth or global expansion environments.

• Strong background in program management, enablement, or learning design within recruiting or talent development.

• Comfort with AI tooling and experimentation, with a bias toward embedding AI-first approaches into enablement.

• Excellent communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to engage interviewers across diverse functions and levels.

• A systems-thinking approach with a builder’s mindset—able to develop repeatable, scalable processes.

• Adaptability and resilience in fast-paced, evolving environments.
