About this role
About the Team
OpenAI’s Enterprise Go-To-Market organization helps the world’s largest companies adopt and scale our AI platform across their business—from ChatGPT Enterprise to our developer platform and APIs.
We partner with organizations across Financial Services, Life Sciences, and Retail to build new AI-powered customer experiences, transform operations, and reimagine how work gets done in highly regulated and technically complex environments. As adoption accelerates through pilots, experimentation, and developer-led use cases, the GTM team turns that momentum into durable, enterprise-wide deployments.
Account Associates sit at the front of this motion—where technical curiosity turns into executive engagement, and early product signals become enterprise-wide deployments.
About the Role
This role is designed as a launchpad for future enterprise sellers at OpenAI. This is a highly strategic role with significant exposure to enterprise sales, product, and customer strategy. You’ll develop core skills in discovery, stakeholder mapping, deal shaping, and executive communication while building a deep understanding of how leading companies adopt AI.
We are looking for individuals with 2-6+ years of professional sales experience who are motivated to grow into world-class enterprise sellers over time. While many individuals in this role go on to become Account Directors or take on broader GTM roles, progression is based on performance and business needs rather than a fixed timeline.
For the right person, this is one of the most accelerated paths to break into sales at OpenAI and build a long-term career in AI go-to-market.
In this role, you will identify, shape, and advance complex enterprise opportunities by turning product usage, pilots, and inbound demand into qualified, high-conviction enterprise opportunities for our Large Enterprise and Strategic Accounts teams.
This role is based in San Francisco. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week (Monday through Wednesday) and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
