In this role, you will:

  • Define the product marketing strategy for OpenAI’s models, research advances, and API portfolio.

  • Lead positioning, launches, demonstrations, and adoption strategies across frontier, specialized, and multimodal models.
  • Help customers navigate model selection, API access, privacy, security, and responsible deployment.
  • Bring customer and market insights into research and product decisions.
  • Partner with Sales, Solutions, Partnerships, and regional teams to develop customer narratives, use cases, and enablement.
  • Work with Communications, Safety, Policy, and Legal to ensure technical claims are accurate and grounded.
  • Build and lead a high-performing product marketing team and define success across understanding, adoption, and API usage.

Requirements

  • Have 12+ years of experience in product marketing across AI, developer platforms, enterprise technology, cloud, or other complex technical products.
  • You love the craft of product marketing and storytelling, and bring the curiosity, conviction, and passion to thrive in a deeply immersive role.
  • Have built and led product marketing teams or functions.
  • Can understand sophisticated technical systems and explain them clearly without losing nuance.
  • Have worked closely with research, engineering, or advanced product development teams.
  • Have led major launches and sustained adoption strategies across a product portfolio.
  • Bring strong judgment in positioning, technical storytelling, and executive communication.
  • Understand how developers and enterprises evaluate APIs, model capabilities, security, and privacy.
  • Can operate effectively across senior stakeholders and move between strategic leadership and hands-on execution.
