About the Team

Security is at the foundation of OpenAI's mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Our Security team protects OpenAI's technology, people, and products. We are technical in what we build but operational in how we do our work, and we are committed to supporting all products and research at OpenAI.

As part of this, our Secure Manufacturing & Stealth is a dedicated function that partners closely with supply chain and operations teams to protect OpenAI's most sensitive projects. We design and enforce safeguards that ensure our innovations remain confidential until launch, while enabling our engineers and partners to move quickly and effectively. Our team's tenets include: prioritizing for impact, preparing for future transformative technologies, building trust with cross-functional partners, and fostering a robust culture of security and confidentiality.

About the Role

We are seeking a Head of Secure Manufacturing and Stealth (SMS) - APAC to lead OpenAI's efforts protecting sensitive product development and production operations in the APAC supply chain. You will design and drive the program that safeguards our most advanced projects and systems, working at the intersection of physical security, supply chain assurance, and insider risk.

This role focuses on securing OpenAI's global supply chain and manufacturing ecosystem, driving complex, multi-month security initiatives across vendors, manufacturing partners, and internal operations teams. You will work closely with the Head of Secure Manufacturing & Stealth to identify risks across production environments and ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented throughout the hardware lifecycle. In this role, you will serve as the primary security partner to supply chain and operations teams, coordinating with engineering, legal, and external vendors to protect sensitive projects while enabling efficient manufacturing and product development.

This role is based in the Asia-Pacific region. This position requires travel up to ~25% to international vendor and partner locations.

In this role, you will:

• Own the strategy and execution of supply chain programs that protect OpenAI's most advanced projects and systems.

• Lead cross-functional initiatives with Engineering, Operations, Legal, and Security to establish controls for preventing leaks, data loss, and supply chain compromise.

• Conduct proactive risk assessments and investigations across production and partner environments, including third-party and vendor ecosystems.

• Develop, enforce, and audit policies and practices to protect confidentiality and control access at production and integration sites.

• Collaborate with technical and operational teams to close detection gaps, strengthen monitoring capabilities, and implement tailored countermeasures across cyber, physical, and human domains.

• Partner with external suppliers, vendors, and law enforcement to ensure global consistency in security practices and incident response.

• Continuously refine processes and security controls based on lessons learned and the evolving threat landscape.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 8+ years of experience in global production, supply chain security, product secrecy, counterintelligence, insider risk, or related investigative/operational domains.

• Bring a deep understanding of production environments, hardware lifecycle, and supply chain risks, with hands-on experience implementing safeguards in global operations.

• Demonstrate unimpeachable integrity, sound judgment, and the ability to handle confidential matters with discretion.

• Possess strong expertise in security tooling and risk frameworks, and physical security systems.

• Have proven ability to lead complex programs and write clear, actionable reports for technical and non-technical audiences.

• Excel at cross-functional collaboration, building trust with engineers, operations, legal, and external partners to drive adoption of security controls.
