Executive Programs Manager

As OpenAI's enterprise business scales, executive engagement has become one of the highest-leverage GTM motions we have. C-suite conversations now shape deal velocity, unlock new lines of business, and strengthen long-term enterprise partnerships. We need a dedicated leader to own and operationalize executive programs - including EBCs, executive dinners, roundtables, and the launch of industry-specific Executive Advisory Boards.

This role is responsible for transforming these motions from bespoke, heroic efforts into a repeatable, strategic GTM engine that helps accelerate deals, deepen senior relationships, and strengthen OpenAI's enterprise narrative at the highest levels.

In this role, you will:

• Deliver high-quality executive engagements that accelerate active opportunities

• Launch and operationalize vertical-specific Executive Advisory Boards (FinServ, Healthcare, Retail)

• Establish repeatable playbooks and processes for EBCs, dinners, and exec engagements

• Strengthen alignment across Sales, Solutions, Product, Comms, and Field teams

• Improve deal velocity and executive sponsorship through consistent, strategic senior touchpoints

• Build a structured insight feedback loop to inform PMM, Product, and GTM

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 6-10+ years in enterprise field marketing, executive programs, strategic accounts, or GTM operations

• Proven ability to run C-suite-facing engagements (briefings, dinners, advisory councils)

• Experience partnering closely with Sales, Solutions, PMM, and Product

• Strong operational instincts: agenda design, prep workflows, run-of-show, follow-through

• Skilled at synthesizing customer context into compelling senior-level storylines

• Comfortable working directly with internal executives and senior customer stakeholders
