Web Platform Lead

Web Platform Lead About the Team Like every team at OpenAI, the Marketing team contributes to our broader mission of ensuring responsible and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence. With that aim in mind, we are responsible for developing and executing strategies that drive awareness, engagement, and usage for OpenAI’s products and platform amongst our core audiences. We take a data-driven approach to understand our customers' needs and challenges, ensuring that their voices are reflected in product development and messaging. We then partner closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Comms, and Design teams to create a cohesive customer experience across all our channels. Our focus extends beyond just promoting product features; we aim to provide valuable insights and resources that help our users make the most out of AI technologies. About the role OpenAI is looking for a Web Platform Lead to own and scale our marketing web ecosystem and the technology that powers it. This leader will be accountable for web initiatives—driving strategy, standards, tooling, and governance across a growing multi-domain environment. You’ll partner closely with Marketing, Product, Engineering, Brand, Growth, Comms, Legal, and leadership to align priorities, make tradeoffs, and deliver high-impact work at speed. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate at both the “dot com as a business” level (growth, performance, conversion, measurement) and the systems level (platform strategy, governance, AI-native workflows, experimentation, operations).

You might thrive in this role if you - Have 10+ years of experience in e-commerce, web platforms, digital product, growth engineering, or marketing engineering, including leadership of multi-disciplinary teams. - Have demonstrated ownership of a high-scale web ecosystem (multi-domain or multi-product environments), with strong instincts for platform strategy, governance, and execution. - Strong track record leading cross-functional flagship initiatives with many stakeholders—able to drive clarity, alignment, and decisions. - Deep experience with experime ...
