As the Vendor and Contract Manager on the Safeguards team, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of Anthropic's safety-critical vendor, partner, and consultant relationships. This includes identifying and selecting vendors, contract negotiation, onboarding, ongoing performance management, and renewal.
\nThe vendors and partners you'll manage span verification, threat intelligence, process outsourcing, capability evaluation, civil society consultation, and research collaboration. You'll build repeatable processes where they're needed while staying nimble enough to handle novel partnership structures, like research collaborations, civil society consultations, and model red-teaming engagements that don't fit neatly into standard procurement workflows.
\nYou'll work closely with legal, procurement, finance, and engineering teams, and you'll be the person who knows where every Safeguards contract stands, what we're spending, and where we should consider a change.
\nThis is a role for someone who's comfortable operating across commercial, legal, and technical contexts in a fast-moving environment , someone who can negotiate contract terms, work with legal teams to redline contracts, set up model access for a research partner, and handle a vendor performance issue in one day.
\n*Important context for this role: In this position you may be exposed to and engage with explicit content spanning a range of topics, including those of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature.
\nResponsibilities:
\nVendor Selection & Onboarding - Understand the broad vendor landscape for Safeguards and drive vendor selection processes with expert input, factoring in tradeoffs between capability, price, and internal resources across categories including verification, threat intelligence, process outsourcing, and capability evaluation
\nConduct vendor due diligence and coordinate security and data governance reviews for vendors handling sensitive model access or content
\nForecast future partnership needs and proactively research vendors and partners that could meet emerging Safeguards requirements
\nContract & Budget Management - Manage contracts across the Safeguards vendor and partner portfolio, working with legal and procurement teams on contract redlining, negotiation, and execution
\nWork with legal teams and potential research partners to develop novel agreements for research collaboration, civil society consultation, and model red-teaming
\nHandle invoicing, payment, and renewal processes with partners
\nOwn Safeguards vendor budget tracking and planning in partnership with finance teams, maintaining a clear picture of current spend and forecasting future needs
\nOngoing Vendor & Partner Management - Manage vendor and researcher access to models and products during testing phases and trials
\nOversee and monitor vendor performance and usage, flagging issues and resolving concerns and disputes as they arise
\nReport on vendor performance, spend, and contract status to Safeguards leadership
\nYou may be a good fit if you have:
\n5+ years in vendor management, procurement, or contract operations, ideally in risk, fraud, compliance, or trust & safety contexts at a technology company
\nDemonstrated experience reviewing and negotiating contracts, including comfort with redlining and working alongside legal counsel
\nTrack record managing vendor budgets, including forecasting, tracking spend, and making tradeoff recommendations
\nUnderstanding of AI safety, account abuse, or platform integrity issues , you know what verification vendors, threat intelligence providers, and content screening tools actually do
\nExperience onboarding vendors and standing up new vendor relationships from scratch, not just managing existing ones
\nStrong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with legal, procurement, finance, and engineering teams
\nComfort with ambiguity and fast-moving environments , you've built or significantly improved vendor management processes, not just inherited them
\nNice to have:
\nExperience in AI safety or AI-adjacent vendor ecosystems
\nFamiliarity with procurement tools such as Ironclad or Zip
\nAnnual compensation range for this role is $245,000-$285,000 USD

\nAbout the Team
\nOpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. A key part of achieving that mission is training models that deeply understand and reflect human preferences — the Human Data team is at the heart of that effort.
\nThe Human Data engineering team creates the systems that enable scalable, high-quality human feedback. These systems are essential to how OpenAI trains and improves its most advanced models. Engineers on this team collaborate closely with world-class researchers to bring alignment techniques to life — from experimental ideas to production-ready feedback loops.
\nAbout the Role
\nWe’re looking for software engineers to join the Human Data team and build the platforms, prototypes, tools, and infrastructure that power how our AI models are trained, aligned, and evaluated. You’ll partner with researchers and cross-functional teams to bring alignment ideas to life, influence future model training, and shape how models interact with the real world.
\nWe’re looking for people who are excited by technical ownership, enjoy working across the stack, and are eager to solve ambiguous problems in a high-impact, fast-paced environment.
\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.
