About this role
About the Team
OpenAI's Professional Services team helps organizations move from AI ambition to durable production outcomes. We partner with customers on complex deployments and build the strategy, commercial models, operating mechanisms, and delivery capacity needed to realize value from OpenAI's models and products.
The team works across Go-to-Market, Forward Deployed Engineering, Technical Success, Finance, Product, Legal, Data, Systems, and delivery partners. We are building a services motion that is customer-centered, commercially rigorous, operationally scalable, and deliberately connected to product adoption.
About the Role
We are seeking a senior GTM Strategy & Operations professional to build and scale the operating system for OpenAI's Professional Services business. This is a foundational, hands-on individual contributor role at the intersection of business strategy, finance, go-to-market, and delivery. You will turn ambiguous questions—what we offer, how we price and package it, how we plan capacity, and how we measure performance—into clear decisions and repeatable mechanisms.
You will own business planning, pricing and packaging, forecasting and modeling, management reporting, and cross-functional strategic initiatives. You will build integrated views of demand, staffing, revenue, margin, and delivery performance; replace one-off analyses with durable processes; and create operating cadences that help leaders act early.
You will be a trusted partner to Professional Services, GTM, FDE, Technical Success, Finance, Product, Legal, Revenue Operations, and Data leaders. The right person combines direct Professional Services judgment with rigorous analytics, executive communication, and the willingness to build the model, process, or dashboard themselves.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Define and drive the business and GTM strategy for Professional Services, including target customer needs, offer portfolio, positioning, pricing and packaging, partner motions, and where to standardize versus tailor delivery.
- Own long-range, annual, and quarterly planning for the services business, translating goals into bookings, revenue, margin, capacity, utilization, role mix, geography, hiring, and investment assumptions.
- Build and maintain integrated demand, capacity, staffing, and revenue models; develop scenarios and sensitivities; improve bottom-up forecast accuracy; and turn the output into clear executive recommendations.
- Design the management system for the business: KPIs, source-of-truth reporting, dashboards, pipeline and staffing reviews, and monthly and quarterly operating cadences.
- Improve the end-to-end services lifecycle from opportunity intake and scoping through commercial design, contracting, staffing, delivery, and expansion, partnering with Revenue Operations and Systems rather than duplicating their ownership.
- Partner with Finance, Legal, GTM, FDE, Technical Success, and delivery leaders on business cases, s
