This role operates at the intersection of strategy, revenue, product, and external ecosystem leadership. Beyond executing partner motions, this leader will shape how OpenAI goes to market globally through partners - deciding where partnerships matter most, which partners fundamentally change OpenAI’s trajectory, and how ecosystem leverage becomes a sustained competitive advantage.

  • Build and lead a senior, globally distributed partnerships organization and operating model, working cross-functionally across Sales, Product, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, and Operations to deeply integrate partnerships into OpenAI’s GTM and delivery motion
  • Design and implement incentive frameworks that align partner investment, services attachment, and long-term ecosystem commitment with OpenAI’s strategic priorities, revenue goals, and brand standards

Requirements

  • Proven track record operating at senior executive or EVP level, leading global partnerships, alliances, or ecosystems at scale
  • Demonstrated success building and scaling complex global partner ecosystems that drive meaningful revenue and market expansion
  • Deep understanding of channel sales, strategic alliances, and ecosystem-driven growth models in enterprise technology
  • Experience operating in both high-growth and scaled environments, with the judgment to balance long-term strategy and near-term execution
  • Strong cross-functional leadership skills, with experience partnering closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Operations
  • Exceptional executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to influence at the C-suite level internally and externally

Nice to have
