About The Team
The Intelligence and Investigations team seeks to rapidly identify and mitigate abuse and strategic risks to ensure a safe online ecosystem. We are dedicated to identifying emerging abuse trends, analyzing risks, and working with our internal and external partners to implement effective mitigation strategies to protect against misuse. Our efforts contribute to OpenAI's overarching goal of developing AI that benefits humanity. We are building a horizontal “radar” for AI abuse and strategic risk—correlating internal signals, external intelligence, and real-world events into clear, actionable priorities for OpenAI’s safety and product decision-makers.
About The Role
As a Strategic Risk Analyst, Behavioral & Psychological Risk, you will bring deep expertise in human behavior to our central view of risk across OpenAI’s products and platforms. You will analyze how users think, feel, and behave in interaction with AI systems—especially in high-risk contexts such as self-harm, manipulation, coercion, and influence—and translate these insights into decision-ready risk assessments, mitigation strategies, and product guidance. This role bridges clinical/behavioral expertise and intelligence analysis, turning psychological signals and patterns into structured judgments, early indicators, and actionable recommendations. A key part of this role is proactively identifying where analytical insight is most needed, anticipating emerging product, policy, and safety questions, and focusing efforts on analyses that shape critical decisions. You will partner closely with investigators, engineers, policy, and trust & safety teams to shape how we understand and mitigate potential risks in human-AI interactions.
In this role, you will
- Develop insights into how AI systems are used in complex or high-risk situations (e.g., self-harm, suicidal ideation, substance-use escalation, and threats of violence), identifying recurring patterns and emerging trends that help guide product, safety, and policy decisions.
- Synthesize behavioral, psychological, and intelligence signals into clear narratives about user needs, system dynamics, and potential areas of risk or vulnerability.
- Produce decision-ready briefs and assessments that inform product, safety, and policy decisions.
- Develop and refine behavioral risk frameworks, taxonomies, and indicators (e.g., severity models, escalation pathways, psychological harm categories).
- Identify early indicators of emerging issues and assess whether observed patterns represent meaningful safety concerns, helping prioritize and inform appropriate mitigations.
- Assess the effectiveness of mitigations—such as product changes, safeguards, and guidance—using behavioral evidence and real-world outcomes.
- Contribute to incident reviews and post-incident analysis by bringing a behavioral perspective to root cause analysis and prevention.
- Bridge research and operations, translating academic and clinical literature into practical safeguards, policies, and product decisions.
You Might Thrive In This Role If You
- Bring 5+ years in forensic, clinical, trust and safety, or applied academic settings assessing risk of violence, self-harm, or addiction, with strong mixed-methods research skills.
- Have familiarity with AI systems, language models, or human-AI interaction dynamics, and are interested in applying psychological expertise to emerging AI risks (experience working on AI safety, trust & safety, or related domains is a plus).
- Can translate human behavior into structured intelligence, connecting individual cases to system-level patterns and risks.
- Are comfortable working across qualitative and quantitative inputs, including casework, interaction data, research literature, and metrics.
- Have experience designing or using risk frameworks, taxonomies, or evaluation methods to structure ambiguity.
- Communicate clearly across disciplines, turning complex behavioral insights into concise, actionable recommendations.
- Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, and can prioritize effectively under uncertainty.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a Risk Analyst
Align your credentials to SOC codes
H-1B1 visa petitions require a specialty occupation tied to a specific degree field. Pull your target role's Standard Occupational Classification code from O*NET and confirm your finance or statistics degree maps directly to the listed requirements before applying.
Target banks with established LCA filing history
Financial institutions that file Labor Condition Applications regularly already have internal H-1B1 processes. Prioritize employers whose DOL filings show risk or quantitative analyst roles, since they understand the consulate filing path and won't treat your sponsorship as a first-time experiment.
Search verified H-1B1 sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Filter by role and visa type on Migrate Mate to find employers with active H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history. This cuts research time significantly and surfaces companies whose hiring teams already know the consulate-based filing process.
Request the LCA before your interview process ends
Your employer must file the Labor Condition Application with DOL before you can schedule a consulate appointment. Ask the hiring team to confirm LCA certification is in their onboarding timeline, not an afterthought handled post-offer.
Verify your offered wage clears the prevailing wage
DOL requires your salary to meet or exceed the prevailing wage for your specific risk analyst role and work location. Run the OFLC Wage Search yourself before negotiating an offer so you know the legal floor your employer must certify.
Prepare your specialty occupation documentation in advance
Consular officers in Singapore assess whether your role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Bring your degree transcripts, a detailed job description, and any FRM, CFA, or FRM credentials that reinforce the analytical nature of the position.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the H-1B1 Singapore visa work for risk analyst roles?
Yes. Risk analyst positions qualify as specialty occupations under the H-1B1 because they require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as finance, statistics, economics, or mathematics. The consular officer will verify that your specific job duties and your degree align, so a precise job description from your employer matters.
How does the H-1B1 Singapore visa differ from H-1B for risk analysts?
The H-1B visa1 skips the H-1B lottery entirely and has a dedicated annual cap of 5,400 visas for Singaporean nationals that has never been exhausted. Processing happens at the U.S. Embassy in Singapore rather than through USCIS, which typically makes the timeline shorter. The trade-off is that the H-1B visa1 doesn't confer dual intent, so maintaining clear nonimmigrant intent throughout the process matters.
How do I find employers who sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas for risk analyst positions?
Migrate Mate lets you filter job listings by visa type and role, surfacing employers with verified H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history. Targeting financial services firms, insurance companies, and large consulting groups tends to be productive since these industries hire risk analysts regularly and are familiar with specialty occupation filings.
What documents should I bring to my H-1B1 consulate appointment in Singapore?
You'll need your certified Labor Condition Application from DOL, your offer letter, academic transcripts confirming your degree in a qualifying field, and your DS-160 confirmation. Bringing professional credentials such as a CFA charter or FRM certificate strengthens the specialty occupation argument if the officer has questions about how your degree maps to the role.
Can I renew my H-1B1 Singapore visa indefinitely as a risk analyst?
The H-1B1 is issued in two-year increments and can be renewed without a cap limit as long as you remain in the same qualifying specialty occupation role. Each renewal still requires a current certified LCA. Because the visa doesn't carry dual intent protections, you should discuss long-term immigration strategy with a qualified immigration attorney if you plan to pursue permanent residency.
