About the team Platform Partnerships builds and grows the relationships that extend OpenAI products through the world’s most important technology platforms. The team works across Product, Engineering, Research, Go-to-Market, Legal, Finance, Marketing, Policy, and Operations to turn partner opportunities into durable product experiences and business outcomes. We are a small team working on opportunities that rarely arrive with a playbook. We set the strategy, make the tradeoffs, and stay close to execution through launch and scale. About the role We’re hiring a Strategic Partner Manager to own and drive the expansion of a portfolio of OpenAI’s most strategic platform partnerships. You will treat each partnership as a business: set the expansion thesis, align joint product roadmaps, structure commercial opportunities, and translate shared ambition into measurable adoption, usage, revenue, distribution, and product impact. This is a senior individual-contributor role with full-lifecycle ownership—from strategy and negotiation through integration, launch, performance, expansion, and renewal. It is a 0-to-1 builder role, not a coordination role. You will create clarity where the operating model is still emerging, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and step into the details required to move the work forward. The right person can move fluidly between a multi-year partnership strategy and the immediate product, commercial, or operating blocker in front of the team. You will build trusted relationships at the executive and working levels while representing OpenAI’s priorities with clarity and thoughtful pushback. What success looks like Each priority partner has a clear expansion thesis, joint roadmap, governance model, and measurable outcomes. High-priority product integrations and go-to-market initiatives launch with clear ownership, strong readiness, and fewer unresolved dependencies.

About the Role We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on individual contributor to join our GTM Strategy & Growth team and help shape how we grow and scale our B2B business across products, customer segments, and routes to market. This is a generalist role for someone who combines strong product intuition with thoughtful GTM strategy and can flex seamlessly between strategic thinking and operational execution. You’ll translate business priorities into clear growth strategies, operating plans, and cross-functional execution. Your work may span product launches, commercialization models, customer growth initiatives, market expansion, and the systems and processes that help the business scale. You should be highly analytical, comfortable working across a range of products and business problems, and experienced navigating complex cross-functional environments. Experience with technical or API-based products is valuable, but the most important qualities are strategic range, sound judgment, and the ability to turn customer, product, and market insights into practical recommendations and action.
