About the Team

We are a small and fast-moving partnerships team that shapes and executes OpenAI’s most important collaborations.

You will turn partner strategy into a simple, scalable experience from recruitment and onboarding through enablement, benefits, performance management, and growth.

About the Role

You are an operational builder with strong judgment, high ownership, and a track record of turning ambiguous goals into clear programs and measurable outcomes. You are comfortable working across product, engineering, GTM, marketing, operations, legal, finance, security, and support.

• Establish program policies, documentation, service levels, governance, and escalation paths.

• Create partner communications, education, office hours, playbooks, and self-service resources.

• Develop program metrics and dashboards covering recruitment, activation, solution quality, adoption, revenue impact, and partner health.

• Coordinate launches and program changes across product, engineering, GTM, marketing, legal, security, finance, support, and operations.

• Capture partner feedback and translate it into program, product, and operating improvements.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 8+ years of experience in partner programs, marketplaces, ecosystem operations, business operations, or program management.

• Proven experience building or scaling a technology partner, ISV, or marketplace program.

• Exceptional ability to convert ambiguous goals into clear processes, ownership, service levels, and measurable outcomes.

• Strong understanding of SaaS, APIs, developer platforms, integrations, and B2B go-to-market motions.

• Demonstrated cross-functional execution across product, engineering, GTM, marketing, legal, finance, security, support, and operations.

• Clear, effective communication with the ability to influence senior internal and external stakeholders.

• A strong partner orientation and the judgment to balance experience, quality, governance, and scale.
