Supplier Master Data Lead (P2P Systems, Controls & Automation)
ABOUT THE TEAM
OpenAI is building Procurement of the future: one that uses AI-enabled systems, clean data, and scalable processes to help the business absorb increasing complexity, speed, volume, and throughput — while enabling teams across OpenAI to operate more strategically and at greater scale.
Supplier Administration is a critical foundation of that model. Accurate, complete, and well-governed supplier data enables faster purchasing, cleaner payments, stronger controls, better reporting, more effective risk management, and more scalable automation across the procure-to-pay lifecycle.

As OpenAI scales, supplier data must become a trusted operating asset — structured, accurate, and actionable enough to support AI-enabled workflows, exception-based operations, third-party risk management, vendor risk reviews, reporting, and faster decision-making.
