OpenAIFraud & Risk Analyst
About the Team
The Account & Platform Integrity team protects OpenAI’s ecosystem from fraud, impersonation, abuse, and account-level threats. We ensure that the people and organizations using OpenAI are who they claim to be, that access is used appropriately, and that bad actors are prevented from exploiting the platform.
We operate at the intersection of identity, access, compliance, and abuse prevention, working closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Go-To-Market, and Support teams to stop harmful activity before it impacts users, customers, or the business. Our work directly protects revenue, user trust, and platform safety across ChatGPT, the API, and enterprise products.
About the Role
We’re hiring a Fraud & Risk Analyst to help safeguard OpenAI by investigating, validating, and monitoring customer accounts and organizations. You will focus on identity, legitimacy, and risk, ensuring accounts are properly verified, access is appropriate, and emerging threats are detected early.
You’ll handle sensitive and high-stakes investigations involving fraud, impersonation, sanctions, misuse of access, and coordinated abuse. Your work will directly influence who can use OpenAI’s products and how safely we can scale.
Note: This role may involve reviewing sensitive, confidential, or disturbing content.
We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week in our San Francisco office.
In this role you will:
Review and verify customer identities, organizations, and ownership structures
Investigate suspicious or high-risk accounts (e.g., fraud, impersonation, shell companies, abuse of API or ChatGPT access)
Evaluate documents, internal data, and third-party sources to determine legitimacy and risk
Enforce account-level actions such as approvals, restrictions, suspensions, or escalations
Serve as the case owner for complex, high-visibility verification and integrity cases
Partner with Legal, Compliance, Sales, and Support to resolve issues quickly and accurately
Handle escalations, appeals, and sensitive customer communications
Help design and improve verification workflows, fraud detection, and risk-scoring systems
Contribute to automation, tooling, and human-in-the-loop review pipelines
Identify patterns of abuse and recommend new controls or safeguards
Analyze data to uncover fraud and abuse trends
Provide feedback to Product and Engineering to improve onboarding, verification, and access controls
Create clear playbooks and guidance for frontline teams handling high-risk accounts
You Might Thrive In This Role If You...
Have 5+ years of experience in verifications, fraud, trust & safety, or risk investigations
Are comfortable making high-impact decisions about who should — or should not — have platform access
Have experience working cross-functionally with Legal, Product, Sales, and Operations
Enjoy building systems, not just running them — especially in fast-moving environments
Are calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and trusted with sensitive and ambiguous cases
Thrive in environments that require judgment, speed, and accountability
