About Our Team

At OpenAI, we are dedicated to developing cutting-edge AI systems that enhance human capabilities and revolutionize the way work is accomplished. Our Go-To-Market (GTM) organization plays a critical role in delivering these innovations to our clients, fostering adoption, maximizing usage, and ensuring lasting value.

We are excited to announce the search for our inaugural Sales Programs Lead, a pivotal role that involves establishing this function from the ground up. Situated within the GTM Strategy team, you will be tasked with pinpointing effective strategies to accelerate growth and transforming those insights into scalable programs that enhance pipeline generation, improve conversion rates, and boost sales productivity.

This role is high-impact, bridging both strategic and tactical elements. You will collaborate directly with GTM leadership to assess business performance, prioritize key opportunities, and create the systems necessary for organizational scaling.

Responsibilities

  • Operate at the core of the GTM organization, collaborating with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Operations to identify gaps in pipeline generation, deal progression, and seller effectiveness.

  • As the first member of the Sales Programs team, you will shape the function: deciding where to invest, how to prioritize, and how to measure success. You will translate complex business challenges into structured programs and ensure their effective execution and scaling.

Key Activities

  • Identify and prioritize high-impact growth initiatives across pipeline generation, conversion enhancement, and sales productivity.

  • Collaborate with GTM leadership to define priorities and translate business objectives into actionable program strategies.

  • Design and implement programs that stimulate pipeline creation, expedite deal cycles, and enhance win rates.

  • Convert strategic priorities into structured, actionable, and repeatable initiatives.

  • Oversee program success from inception to completion, including defining metrics, monitoring performance, and ensuring accountability.

  • Lead cross-functional initiatives involving Sales, Marketing, Product, Enablement, and Operations.

  • Align senior stakeholders on priorities, timelines, and desired outcomes while skillfully managing ambiguity and trade-offs.

  • Develop and refine the operational framework for sales programs, establishing processes, frameworks, and feedback mechanisms.
