  • Own integrated technical roadmaps across OpenAI and partner teams, including milestones, dependencies, risks, resourcing needs, and sequencing to land joint commitments.
  • Own launch readiness across cloud partner platforms, including readiness checklists, blocker tracking, joint go/no-go reviews, and post-launch stability follow-through.
  • Act as a primary technical interface to partner engineering organizations, helping own the shared roadmap and day-to-day coordination on deployment, capacity, incidents, and open engineering issues.
  • Drive alignment across engineering, infrastructure, product, safety, security, legal, finance, and go-to-market teams so joint deliverables are well-scoped, sequenced, and executable.
  • Provide clear, transparent reporting on program status, issues, risks, and decisions required for senior leaders and stakeholders.
  • Convert open issues into prioritized plans with clear owners, workbacks, and closure paths.
  • Help build repeatable and efficient development and launch pipelines for OpenAI models on partner platforms.

  • Commitment to OpenAI's mission and responsible access to AI
