About the Role

We are hiring a senior strategic finance thought partner to support OpenAI’s Ads business. You will partner closely with Ad Sales leadership and be responsible for driving financial planning and forecasting, evaluating new initiatives, and providing decision-quality insights on performance.

• Partner with Product and GTM leaders on strategic initiatives and new product launches to shape growth plans.
