About the Role
As a member of the Platform Partnerships team, you will lead some of the most important integrations connecting the world into OpenAI’s flagship products, including Codex and ChatGPT.

- Develop ecosystem relationships to drive deeper engagement across distribution, co-marketing, and product innovation.
- Translate partner commercial needs, technical constraints, and market dynamics into program and product recommendations, prioritization calls, and go-to-market plans
- Bring structure to ambiguous opportunities and help the team decide where to go deep, move fast, or say no.
- Drive aggressive timelines by clearing blockers and aligning internal and external workstreams.
You might thrive in this role if you
- 10+ years of experience in product partnerships, product management, or developer relations.
- Demonstrated success structuring and negotiating complex commercial and technical deals, with strong negotiation skills with a focus on creative solutions.
- Excellent product and technical judgement, and experience building ecosystems or integrations for emerging products.
- Self-driven, relationship-oriented, and adept at operating in a fast-changing environment.
- Exceptional communication, structured thinking, and program management skills.
