About the Team

The Product Marketing team shapes how OpenAI brings its research, models, and products to market. We work across Research, Product, Engineering, Sales, Communications, and Marketing to translate technical advances into clear customer value, compelling market narratives, and go-to-market strategies that drive meaningful adoption.

About the Role

We’re looking for a senior product marketing leader to shape how OpenAI’s models and research are understood and adopted around the world. You’ll work directly with frontier research teams to understand emerging capabilities and translate them into compelling product strategies, market narratives, and customer experiences.

Your scope will span frontier models, specialized models for cybersecurity and life sciences, multimodal capabilities, and the API portfolio that makes these systems accessible to developers and businesses. You’ll build and lead the team responsible for helping customers understand what our models can do, how they’re evolving, and how to deploy them responsibly.

In this role, you will:

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

  • Embed with Research, Product, and Engineering to understand model capabilities, evaluations, limitations, and technical tradeoffs.

  • Shape how OpenAI explains advances in AI to developers, business leaders, and the broader market.

  • 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.

You might thrive in this role if you:

  • 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.

Workplace & Location

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. Occasional travel will be required.
