Safety is more important to us than unfettered growth.\n\nAbout the Role\n\nYou will join the Compute Infrastructure TPM team as a Technical Program Manager for Capacity Analytics & Tooling. You will serve as the product manager for our supply and demand planning tools, owning the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of the systems teams use to forecast demand, understand supply, and plan allocations. Your users will include Product TPMs, Capacity TPMs, and Compute TPMs, alongside partners across Finance, Accounting, Leadership, Engineering, and Research.\n\nThis role combines product managemented capacity decisions across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and other infrastructure providers.\n\nThis 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.\n\nIn this role, you will:\n\nOwn the product strategy and roadmap for supply and demand planning tools. Understand user needs, set priorities, define success measures, and guide delivery from initial requirements through adoption and ongoing improvement.\n\nBuild useful planning workflows. Translate complex processes into tools for demand intake, forecasting, supply tracking, scenario analysis, and allocation planning. Help teams understand what infrastructure they need, when it will be available, and which gaps require action.\n\nScale the data infrastructure behind capacity planning. Partner with engineering on ingestionation, storage, and delivery of planning data. Guide technical tradeoffs as the number of resources, providers, data sources, and users grows.\n\nMake planning data consistent and trustworthy. Establish shared data models and definitions for supply, demand, allocations, utilization, and cost. Drive data cleaning, validation, reconciliation, and traceability so users can understand and trust planning outputs.\n\nAdvance forecasting and analytical capabilities. Work with engineering and data partners to connect product and research plans to infrastructure demand. Make assumptions, uncertainty, forecast accuracy, and capacity constraints visible to decision makers.\n\nDefine and scale meaningful success metrics. Measure data qualityance, planning speed, and tool adoption. Establish consistent ways to track capacity availability, utilization, and efficiency across CPU, storage, network, and GPU resources.\n\nSupport planning across multiple cloud providers. Build capabilities that account for differences in resource types, regions, availability, commercial commitments, and deployment constraints across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and other providers.\n\nLead delivery across data, infrastructure, and planning teams. Manage dependencies, technical tradeoffs, migrations, risks, and releases. Keep teams aligned on priorities and the decisions needed to move work forward.\n\nDrive adoption and reduce manual planning work. Develop simple workflows, documentation, training, and feedback mechanisms. Identify recurring reconciliation and reporting work that can be improved through better data and automation.\n\nMake capacity tradeoffs clear to leadership and partner teams. Provide useful views of gaps between supply and demand, allocation options, and their financial and operational consequences. Partner with Finance and Accounting to align planning data with budgeting and reporting needs.\n\nYou might thrive in this role if you:\n\nHave 5+ years of experience leading technical programs or products in data platforms, infrastructure, capacity planning, or a related field, with a record of delivering systems that teams rely on.\n\nHave owned an internal product or platform roadmap and translated complex operational needs into requirements, priorities, and releases that users adopt.\n\nHave direct experience with capacity planningance, availability, and cost affect planning decisions.\n\nUnderstand modern data infrastructureation, batch and streaming processing, and analytical storage. You have worked with technologies such as Fivetran, dbt, Spark, Kafka, or comparable systems and can discuss their architectural tradeoffs.\n\nHave practical experience with data modeling, data cleaning, validation, and reconciliation. You can use SQL and Python or similar tools to investigate discrepancies, validate assumptions, and prototype analyses.\n\nHave applied quantitative methods to forecastingance, and explain the limitations of an analysis.\n\nUnderstand the capacityance, and cost characteristics of compute, storage, networking, and accelerators. You have experience working across multiple cloud environments and can account for differences between providers.\n\nCan lead complex programs with many technical dependencies and align teams with different priorities. You communicate technical tradeoffs clearly to engineers, researchers, finance partners, and leaders.\n\nAre resourceful in ambiguous environments, exercise sound product judgment, and build simple, scalable ways to solve complex planning problems.\n\nAre interested in and thoughtful about the impacts of AGI.\n\nAbout OpenAI\n\nOpenAI is an AI research and deployment company dedicated to ensuring that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
