The Challenge

OpenAI's Marketing Innovation team builds frontier AI-native products that amplify how their GTM organization works. You'll turn cutting-edge AI capabilities into practical workflows that marketing and sales teams use daily-solving problems that traditional tools simply can't handle.

Your Mission

First 3 Months
1

Audit current marketing workflows and identify 3-5 high-impact opportunities where AI agents + human review can improve speed, quality, or scale

2

Ship 2 prototype workflows to production (e.g., content generation automation, lifecycle campaign optimization) with operator feedback loops

3

Build a reusable template library and documentation so marketing teams can safely self-serve on future AI workflows

4

Establish guardrails and monitoring patterns for AI-human collaboration in production marketing systems

By 6 Months
1

Deploy 5-7 'golden workflows' across demand generation, lifecycle marketing, and revenue programs with measurable adoption and impact metrics

2

Train marketing operators on frontier AI capabilities through hands-on pair programming; track adoption rates and skill progression

3

Build centralized workflow management system (versioning, monitoring, rollback) to safely scale AI across the organization

4

Develop playbook for scoping, prototyping, and shipping new AI workflows-enabling repeatable execution without engineering bottlenecks

KPIs You'll Own

Workflow adoption rate

Percentage of marketing teams actively using deployed AI workflows by month 6

Time-to-production (prototype to live)

Measure how quickly you move from problem identification to operator-ready workflows

Quality improvements by use case

Culture

Direct, execution-focused. Ship fast, learn from operators, iterate. No corporate fluff-you're solving real problems with AI.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built systems integrations, automation workflows, or internal tools and shipped them to real users in production
  • You're excited about AI-native development (Codex, agents, LLMs) and see it as a new way to build software-not just a feature
  • You have strong product instincts: you listen, scope ambiguous problems, prioritize ruthlessly, and drive projects end-to-end
  • You enjoy close collaboration with operators/end-users and thrive in ambiguity-turning loose ideas into working systems
  • You have familiarity with marketing/GTM stacks (CRM, lifecycle tools, campaign infrastructure) or are eager to learn fast
Won't Work If
  • You expect a purely engineering role-this is 50% systems building, 50% discovery, scoping, and operator collaboration
  • You prefer well-defined requirements and roadmaps-you'll be identifying opportunities and shipping prototypes in uncertainty
  • You need remote flexibility-this role is on-site only in San Francisco
  • You're not genuinely excited about AI-native workflows; you see this as hype rather than a fundamental shift in how software gets built

Interview Process

1

Recruiter screen

Confirm background in systems/automation; discuss past shipping experience

2

Technical conversation

Walk through a past project (integration, workflow, internal tool). How did you scope it? Ship it? Measure impact?

3

Product/problem-solving round

Given a loose marketing ops problem, how would you approach it? Scoping, technical solution, guardrails, rollout?

4

Cross-functional panel

Meet with marketing operators and other engineers. Discussion around collaboration style and how you'd work with non-technical teams

5

Final conversation

Leadership alignment on vision, expectations, and your excitement level for frontier AI in marketing
