Deployed Product Manager, Codex at OpenAI in San Francisco, CA

DEPLOYED PRODUCT MANAGER, CODEX Location: San Francisco ABOUT THE ROLE OpenAI is hiring a Deployed PM to help our customers get maximally deployed on our products. This person is the product counterpart to Deployment Engineers: someone who can spot product expansion opportunities inside an account, build trust with technical and executive stakeholders, drive cross-functional execution, and turn blockers into momentum. The role sits at the intersection of product, technical deployment, and customer strategy. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL • Act as the product lead inside strategic customer accounts, helping customers adopt and expand their use of OpenAI products. • Identify opportunities for deeper deployment, new integrations, and broader product usage across teams and workflows. • Build trusted relationships with technical stakeholders, engineering leaders, and executives, including representing product vision to C-level audiences. • Partner closely with Deployment Engineers and GTM teams to drive successful implementations and long-term account growth. • Translate customer needs and technical blockers into clear product feedback and execution paths for internal teams. • Work hands-on with integrations, MCPs, tooling, and lightweight technical workflows when needed to unblock an account. • Own lightweight PM work needed to support enterprise deployment, then hand off the right insights and opportunities to core product teams. YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF • You've operated in highly ambiguous environments and are comfortable being the connective tissue between customers, engineering, GTM, and product. • You are highly credible with technical audiences and can work effectively with CTOs, senior engineers, and developer experience teams. • You are also excellent with stakeholders: polished in presentations, strong in customer conversations, and trusted in executive settings. • You can understand a customer's goals, translate them into a deployment strategy, and drive follow-through across multiple teams. • You are builder-minded and willing to get hands-on when needed. • You likely have a background as a technical founder, product founder, technical PM, solutions or product lead, or in another role that combines technical depth with product judgment and customer-facing execution. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR • Strong technical fluency and comfort working directly with engineers. • Strong product instincts, especially around identifying customer needs and translating them into product opportunities. • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills. • Ability to present product strategy and deployment vision clearly to senior customer audiences. • Comfort operating across strategy, execution, and hands-on problem solving. • Bias toward action, ownership, and unblocking.
