GTM Business Operations & Strategy Lead, Platform | OpenAI Careers ## GTM Business Operations & Strategy Lead, Platform Growth - San Francisco Apply now(opens in a new window) ## **About the Team** The GTM Strategy & Growth team drives the growth and evolution of our B2B business across products, customer segments, and routes to market. We partner closely with Product, Sales, Success, Data Science, Finance, and Marketing to define and execute go-to-market strategies for new product launches, commercialization models, customer growth initiatives, and market expansion opportunities. Our work sits at the intersection of product strategy, growth, and operations — shaping how we bring products to market, how we measure success, and how we scale adoption across customer segments. We operate across both strategic and highly operational domains, from defining long-term growth bets and commercial strategy to building launch plans, tracking performance, and driving cross-functional execution across the business. ## **About the Role** We’re looking for an exceptional leader to join our GTM Strategy & Growth team focused on driving go-to-market strategy for our API business. This role is ideal for someone who combines strong product intuition with thoughtful and nuanced GTM strategy, and who can flex seamlessly between high-level strategic thinking and operational execution. You’ll play a central role in shaping how new API products and platform capabilities are commercialized and scaled. This includes defining growth strategies, customer segmentation approaches, launch success metrics, and commercialization models in close partnership with Product, Pricing, Data Science, Finance, Sales, and Customer Success. You should be highly analytical, deeply comfortable with technical products and API businesses, and experienced navigating complex cross-functional environments. The ideal candidate understands how GTM organizations operate at scale and can translate customer, product, and market insights into actionable growth strategies. 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. ## **In this role, you will:** * Lead go-to-market strategy for our API business, partnering closely with Product and GTM leadership to define growth priorities and commercialization approaches. * Define north star goals, launch success metrics, and operating KPIs for new product launches, and monitor performance in partnership with Data Science and Analytics teams. * Develop GTM growth strategies and strategic bets for new products, capabilities, customer motions, and market opportunities. * Define customer segmentation frameworks and tailored strategies for different customer profiles, industries, and stages of adoption. * Partner with Product teams to provide structured customer feedback, market insights, and prioritization input that influences product roadmap decisions. * Collaborate with Pricing, Finance, and Product teams to design commercial models, packaging, and monetization strategies, ensuring downstream GTM execution aligns with the broader commercial strategy. * Conduct market, competitive, and customer research to identify whitespace opportunities and inform strategic decision-making. * Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, Finance, and Operations to align on priorities and execute against business goals. * Evaluate business performance and recommend adjustments to GTM strategy based on data, customer insights, and market dynamics. ## **You might thrive in this role if you:** * Have 10+ years of experience across GTM strategy, business operations, management consulting, product strategy, finance, or related functions in high-growth technology environments. * Bring strong fluency in data and analytics, with the ability to define meaningful success metrics, in
