Get Access To All JobsABOUT THE TEAM
The Internal Controls function sits within the broader Finance Risk Management (FRM) organization and plays a key role in strengthening the integrity, scalability, and reliability of OpenAI’s finance-critical operations.
Our team designs and governs the Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR) framework that supports accurate, transparent financial results. We focus on business-process controls across areas like procure-to-pay, payroll, revenue, month-end close, and infrastructure-related spend. We work closely with Controllership, Procurement, Hardware, Strategic Finance, Legal, and Compliance to ensure processes are well-designed, well-documented, and audit-ready.
As part of FRM, we contribute to OpenAI’s overall financial risk posture by supporting audit readiness, third-party risk considerations, and ongoing process improvements across the finance ecosystem. Together, we help build the foundation of trust and operational clarity needed for OpenAI to scale responsibly.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re seeking a Senior Manager, Financial Risk Management to lead hardware and supply chain controls for one of OpenAI’s most dynamic and evolving operating environments. This role will focus on identifying and mitigating financial and operational risk across areas such as inventory, supplier changes, manufacturing flows, procurement, cost tracking, and other hardware-related business processes.
This person will serve as a strong cross-functional partner to Supply Chain, Hardware, Procurement, Finance, and Systems teams to help design and implement controls that are practical, scalable, and capable of holding up in a fast-changing environment with limited structure. The role requires someone who can move fluidly between risk assessment, control design, and operational execution — translating ambiguous process risk into clear actions that teams can adopt.
This 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.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:
-
Lead financial risk and controls support for hardware and supply chain processes, with a focus on building scalable foundations in a rapidly developing environment.
-
Assess risks across inventory, supplier onboarding and changes, procurement flows, manufacturing operations, commitments, cost tracking, and other hardware-related workflows.
-
Identify where the control environment is weakest or most exposed, and prioritize the highest-risk areas for remediation or design support.
-
Partner with operational, business, and technical teams to design controls that are effective in practice and integrated into day-to-day workflows.
-
Translate risks into clear operational requirements, including ownership models, approval points, monitoring expectations, reconciliations, and evidence needs.
-
Drive cross-functional remediation efforts where processes are unclear, fragmented, or overly manual.
-
Help teams balance speed and control by implementing fit-for-purpose guardrails that support execution rather than unnecessarily slowing it down.
-
Support process and systems changes by ensuring financial risk, control, and governance considerations are addressed upfront.
-
Contribute to broader ICFR / SOX readiness efforts by strengthening control design and documentation across operational processes that have financial reporting or safeguarding implications.
YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU HAVE:
-
8+ years of experience in financial risk management, internal controls, SOX/ICFR, internal audit, controllership, finance transformation, or operational risk.
-
Significant experience working with hardware, manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, procurement, or other operational business processes.
-
Strong judgment on how to design the right level of control in a fast-scaling company, including where lightweight guardrails are sufficient versus where more formal controls are needed.
-
Experience working in environments with evolving systems, incomplete process structure, or unclear ownership — and bringing order without over-engineering.
-
Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with operational and technical teams and influence stakeholders who may initially view controls as slowing them down.
-
Strong ability to translate broad risks into actionable controls, operating requirements, and remediation plans.
-
Deep familiarity with core controls concepts, including preventive vs. detective controls, manual vs. automated controls, monitoring mechanisms, and evidence expectations.
-
Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
-
ERP, procurement, inventory, or manufacturing systems experience is a plus.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Financial Risk Management
Align your degree to SOC codes
USCIS evaluates specialty occupation by matching your degree field to the role's SOC code. Pull the O*NET profile for your target title and confirm your transcripts map directly to the listed education requirements before applying.
Target firms with LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter financial risk management roles by employers with verified H-1B LCA filings through DOL, so every application you submit goes to a company that has already navigated the sponsorship process.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above DOL's prevailing wage for your location and experience level. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your SOC code and metro area before entering salary discussions so you negotiate above the floor, not below it.
Flag quantitative credentials in your resume early
Hiring managers in risk roles screen for FRM, CFA, or CQF designations alongside degrees. Listing these credentials above your work history signals specialty occupation fit and reduces the likelihood of an RFE on educational equivalency grounds.
Ask about cap-exempt sponsorship at universities and nonprofits
Federal reserve banks, university endowments, and nonprofit research institutions can file H-1B petitions outside the annual 85,000-slot cap. If you're open to these employers, they offer a direct path to status without waiting for the lottery.
Time your offer acceptance around the filing window
USCIS opens H-1B registration in March for an October 1 start date. If you receive an offer in late spring or summer and weren't selected, ask whether the employer will use cap-exempt status or file for the next fiscal year to keep the role open.

Find Financial Risk Management JobsFinancial Risk Management H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does financial risk management qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. Financial risk management qualifies because USCIS requires roles to demand at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field, and risk positions routinely require degrees in finance, mathematics, statistics, or economics. Employers document this through the LCA and I-129 petition. Roles with vague degree requirements like 'any business degree' can draw RFEs, so your employer should specify the field in the job description.
Which types of employers most commonly sponsor H-1B visas for risk roles?
Commercial banks, investment banks, insurance companies, asset managers, and financial technology firms sponsor the most H-1B petitions for risk professionals. Federal reserve banks and certain nonprofit research institutions are also active sponsors and can file outside the annual cap. Browse Migrate Mate to see which employers have active H-1B LCA filings specifically for financial risk management titles.
Can my employer file an H-1B petition if I'm currently on OPT?
Yes, and the timing is deliberate. Your employer registers you in the March lottery for an October 1 start. If your OPT expires before October 1 and you were selected, the cap-gap rule automatically extends your OPT authorization until your H-1B becomes effective. If your OPT runs out before the lottery opens, STEM OPT extension may bridge the gap, so confirm your end date with your DSO early.
What documentation does my employer need to prove specialty occupation for a risk role?
Your employer must show that the position normally requires a degree in a specific field related to risk management. Supporting documents typically include the job description tied to an SOC code, internal compensation benchmarks aligned with DOL prevailing wage data, and evidence that comparable industry roles carry the same degree requirement. Industry salary surveys and peer job postings referencing degree requirements strengthen the petition against RFEs.
How does the H-1B prevailing wage requirement affect risk management job offers?
DOL sets four wage levels for each SOC code and geographic area, and your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the level matching your experience. Level I covers entry-level analysts, while Level III or IV applies to senior risk managers and directors. Offers below the certified wage level violate the LCA, so use the OFLC Wage Search to verify your level before accepting an offer.
