Commercial Outcomes Architect, Japan

About the Team OpenAI’s GTM Partnerships team builds a strategic global partner ecosystem designed to accelerate customer success, support secure AI adoption, and drive growth in support of OpenAI’s mission. We collaborate closely across Sales, Technical Success, Product, Marketing, Operations, and leadership teams to turn strategic partnerships into durable commercial outcomes. Within that ecosystem, AWS is one of OpenAI’s most strategic partners. Our opportunity extends beyond the direct alliance relationship: we aim to enable AWS teams and the surrounding services-partner ecosystem to build, deliver, and scale OpenAI-powered solutions on AWS infrastructure. Success requires close collaboration across AWS Japan alliance and field teams, AWS-focused SI practices, cloud architects, field sellers, delivery leaders, OpenAI’s Japan Partner Director, and OpenAI GTM teams. It requires strong operating discipline, scalable co-sell execution, and the ability to translate a strategic alliance into measurable customer outcomes. About the Role We are hiring a Partner Director to shape and execute OpenAI’s AWS alliance partnership in Japan. This person will own the direct relationship with AWS Japan while mobilizing AWS Japan field teams and the broader services-partner ecosystem around high-value customer opportunities. This is a hands-on individual-contributor role operating through influence in Japan. You will work alongside OpenAI’s Japan Partner Director to develop Japan GTM strategies, drive joint account planning, coordinate AWS-related opportunities, and operationally manage selected cross-functional initiatives. You will build and own the Japan GTM strategy with AWS, translating the alliance into repeatable OpenAI and AWS solutions, field playbooks, governance structures, and co-sell motions that can be adopted across Japan’s customer segments and GTM teams. The right candidate combines alliance leadership with a builder’s mindset and the ability to move comfortably b

About The Role: The Solutions Consultant Manager is the person who makes our GTM motion real on the ground. As an in-region leader directly managing a team of Solutions Consultants, you'll own your team's full commercial output—new logo, expansion, and renewals—and be accountable for both the results and the quality of execution that produces them. This isn't a traditional pipeline-management role. The best SC Managers are coaches first: they know what a great first meeting looks like, can watch a live build and tell a rep exactly what to change, and build the operating rhythm and inspection cadence that makes consistent execution possible across the team. If you're a builder who loves developing people as much as winning deals—and you want to lead a regional team in a go-to-market model that's genuinely new—this is the role. What You'll Achieve: Own the commercial performance of your team across new logo ARR, expansion ARR, and UBP outcomes—accountable for both the headline numbers and the quality of execution that drives them Coach SCs on the GTM builder motion: what great looks like in a first meeting (workflow diagnosis, current
