OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Customer Education plays an important role in that mission by helping people and organizations use increasingly capable AI systems effectively, responsibly, and with confidence. We create learning experiences, programs, and resources that help customers move from initial understanding to sustained use and measurable impact. As our products, audiences, and programs grow, we need an operating foundation that keeps the content portfolio trusted, clarifies complex work, and helps the team deliver at a consistently high standard. This role offers the opportunity to build the operational foundation behind education programs that shape how enterprises adopt frontier AI.
About The Role
We are looking for a strategic operator to own the operating system behind Customer Education. You will work at the center of content, systems, and team execution: owning the health of our education content portfolio, running the team’s operating rhythm, and translating evolving business needs into scalable workflows and system requirements. The right person will raise the quality of execution across Customer Education. You will bring order, judgment, and follow-through to a fast-moving environment, making the function easier to run, easier to trust, and easier to scale.
In This Role, You Will
- Own the health and integrity of the Customer Education content portfolio, including lifecycle, governance, discoverability, reuse, and meaningful gaps.
- Ensure customer-facing teams can confidently find and use the right education resources at the right time.
- Run the team’s operating rhythm across priorities, ownership, timelines, dependencies, decisions, launch readiness, and follow-through.
- Turn ambiguous cross-functional initiatives into clear plans, workflows, responsibilities, and decision points.
- Design scalable processes and handoffs for how education programs are created, launched, maintained, distributed, and measured.
- Translate team and business needs into practical system requirements and partner across teams to bring solutions to life.
- Identify operational risks, portfolio gaps, duplicated effort, and breakdowns in execution before they become larger problems.
- Use AI deeply to automate repeatable work, strengthen quality control, synthesize inputs, and create better operating leverage.
You Might Thrive In This Role If You
- Are a strong operator who gets satisfaction from making complex work run exceptionally well.
- Can move between strategic questions and operational detail without losing sight of either.
- Have strong judgment about content quality, portfolio health, and what makes information usable and trustworthy.
- Think in systems and can see how people, workflows, information, and technology need to work together.
- Communicate clearly, influence without authority, and turn complex discussions into crisp decisions and actions.
- Are excited to experiment with AI-enabled ways of working and build them into durable team practices.
Qualifications
Required
- 8+ years of experience in content operations, program operations, business operations, learning operations, knowledge management, or a related field.
- Experience owning or improving the operating model of a fast-moving, cross-functional team.
- Demonstrated experience managing the lifecycle and quality of a complex content or knowledge portfolio.
- Strong program management skills across prioritization, dependency management, risk identification, and executive communication.
- Experience translating business or team needs into clear workflows, system requirements, and implementation plans.
- Excellent written communication, sound operational judgment, and strong follow-through.
Preferred
- Experience in customer education, customer success, enablement, learning, or enterprise technology.
- Experience supporting content and programs across multiple formats, audiences, or channels.
- Familiarity with systems and data flows that support customer adoption, learning, and GTM execution.
- Experience building AI-enabled workflows to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Education
Align your credentials before applying
U.S. employers filing PERM for education roles must document that your foreign degree meets state licensure requirements. Get your transcripts evaluated by a NACES-approved credential evaluator before you start applying, or sponsors may stall mid-process.
Target districts with E-Verify enrollment
Public school districts enrolled in E-Verify are already set up for employment verification, which signals familiarity with federal hiring compliance. That infrastructure makes them more likely to follow through on PERM sponsorship than institutions without it.
Search for green card sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter education employers by green card sponsorship history. Seeing which districts and universities have filed PERM applications for teaching or administrative roles lets you focus your search on employers already committed to sponsoring permanent residency.
Understand the PERM recruitment documentation burden
PERM requires your employer to run a federally prescribed recruitment campaign and prove no qualified U.S. worker was available. For teaching roles, this includes newspaper ads and a 30-day job order with your state workforce agency, so expect a six-to-twelve month employer prep phase before DOL filing.
Confirm your role qualifies for EB-2 or EB-3
Curriculum developers and university faculty with master's degrees typically qualify for EB-2. K-12 classroom teachers with bachelor's degrees generally fall under EB-3 skilled worker. Review the O*NET occupation profile for your title to confirm the degree standard USCIS applies.
Negotiate sponsorship terms before accepting an offer
Ask whether the employer covers PERM attorney fees and I-140 filing costs before signing your contract. Many education employers will sponsor but expect you to cover attorney fees, which can exceed several thousand dollars without a written agreement.
Green Card Education: Frequently Asked Questions
Which education roles qualify for EB-2 versus EB-3 green card sponsorship?
University professors, instructional designers, and education administrators with master's degrees or above typically qualify under EB-2 as advanced-degree professionals. K-12 teachers, school counselors, and paraprofessionals with bachelor's degrees generally qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers. The key factor is whether the position's minimum requirement is an advanced degree or a four-year degree, which your employer must document in the PERM application.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for education jobs?
Green card sponsorship through PERM leads to permanent residency rather than a temporary status capped at six years. Unlike the H-1B visa, EB-3 sponsorship carries no annual lottery, so teachers and staff from most countries aren't subject to multi-year cap backlogs. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM filing, I-140 approval, and adjustment of status typically take two to four years combined, compared to a few months for an H-1B change of status.
Can a school district sponsor a foreign teacher for a green card without an existing visa?
Yes, but practically most candidates enter on a J-1 visa exchange teacher visa or H-1B before their employer begins PERM. The PERM process itself doesn't require you to already hold a work visa, but you'll need valid work authorization throughout the multi-year process. Districts often initiate PERM concurrently with or after sponsoring a temporary visa to keep you continuously authorized to work.
How do I find education employers that have sponsored green cards before?
Use Migrate Mate to search education roles filtered by employers with documented green card sponsorship history. Seeing which school districts and universities have previously filed PERM applications helps you avoid wasting months applying to institutions that have never sponsored permanent residency and are unlikely to start for your role.
What happens to my green card case if I change employers mid-process?
If you change employers before your I-140 is approved, the PERM labor certification generally cannot transfer and your new employer must restart the entire process. After I-140 approval and with a priority date more than 180 days old, portability rules under AC21 allow you to move to a same or similar education role with a new employer without losing your place in the queue.
