About the Team

Enterprise Marketing helps the world’s largest organizations understand, adopt, and scale AI. Our Executive Engagement programs bring OpenAI’s products, research, and perspective into the room with senior leaders as they consider how intelligence can be put to work against their most important priorities. These engagements are more than briefings or events. At their best, they help a leadership team understand what is changing, distinguish what is possible now from what is still emerging, and leave with greater clarity about what to do next.

About the Role

We are looking for an Executive Programs Lead, Americas to build and lead the portfolio through which OpenAI engages its most important customers and executives across the region. You will own the regional strategy, team, and quality bar for Executive Briefings and a broader portfolio of C-suite engagements, recurring executive forums, advisory programs, and proven formats ready to scale. Your mandate is to turn high-stakes customer moments into a durable business capability, one that consistently advances important relationships while preserving the judgment and customization that exceptional executive experiences require. This is a senior people-leadership role for a builder who can set direction, make disciplined portfolio choices, and create the systems and team required to deliver at scale. You will partner closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Product, Research, Solutions, Customer Success, Events, and OpenAI executives, moving comfortably between long-term design and the critical details of a live engagement. This role is based in San Francisco. We use a hybrid model of three days in the office each week and offer relocation assistance. Given the customer-facing nature of the role, regular in-person participation in executive briefings and related preparation is expected and may require additional time onsite. Travel across the Americas and occasional global travel are also expected.

You might thrive in this role if you:

Have 10+ years of experience building or leading executive programs, customer engagement, enterprise marketing, experience centers, field marketing, or a comparable enterprise capability. Have led and developed a high-performing team with accountability for a visible portfolio, not only individual programs. Have built or transformed a high-touch customer capability, moving it from reactive or heavily bespoke delivery toward a more strategic and scalable model. Bring strong commercial judgment and credibility with senior Sales leaders, customers, and internal executives. Understand the difference between an exceptional executive experience and a polished event—and can connect that experience to meaningful customer and business progress. Know how to prioritize rigorously, say no constructively, and make difficult resource decisions without losing stakeholder trust. Can translate strategy into a working system with clear ownership, strong standards, and reliable execution. Can operate credibly in a fast-moving technical environment and build effective partnerships across Product, Research, Marketing, Sales, and customer-facing teams. Move comfortably between setting direction, developing leaders, reviewing the system, and personally stepping into a critical moment.
