Job description

Responsibilities

• Own the technical delivery plan for multiple interdependent workstreams, translating business objectives into a roadmap with milestones, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
• Run day-to-day engineering execution, track and drive delivery across OpenAI FDE and customer teams, keeping progress unblocked and sequenced, and making real-time trade-offs on scope and priority to protect the critical path.
• Embed with customer teams to land production deployments and drive adoption, mapping workflows, shaping tools/integrations, and translating requirements into a delivery plan, leading onboarding, adoption, and change management.
• Partner with Product and Research so platform components and research workstreams land in time to support deployment goals.
• Codify solution patterns and evaluations, extracting reusable patterns and packaging field signals to improve product and models.
• Own value cases and ROI, setting impact hypotheses, baselines, and KPIs; running pre‑/post‑deployment measurement and reporting to exec sponsors.

Requirements

• 7+ years of customer‑facing technical delivery leadership.
• Track record of successfully leading large, complex, high‑stakes customer engagements where outcomes depended on tight coordination and fast decision‑making, ideally involving AI.
• Excel in high‑ambiguity environments; able to simplify complex and dynamic work.
• Move fluidly between system‑level understanding and execution‑level detail; able to dive into customer workflows/data, map constraints, sketch architectures, and move ambiguous problems to shipped systems.
• Think strategically and pattern‑match, stepping back from execution detail, recognizing broader trends across deployments, and connecting customer needs to scalable, reusable solutions.
• Have strong technical fluency and sharp sequencing instincts; confident discussing technical details, pressure‑testing architectures, and making trade‑offs.
• Have shipped AI/LLM systems; understand solution patterns, integration basics, and production pitfalls.
• Be a translator with executive presence, making complex technical trade‑offs legible to business leaders and converting strategy into day‑to‑day technical execution.
• Enjoy being onsite with customers to accelerate delivery (often 25‑50%, sometimes higher).
• Have expertise in at least one major sector (e.g., healthcare, energy, financial services, semiconductors, IT) to elevate solution framing and credibility.
