About the Team

The AI Deployment team enables organizations to turn OpenAI products into real, sustained impact through world-class enablement and training execution. Our mission is to help customers successfully adopt and operationalize AI across their organizations. We partner with enterprises to translate the potential of OpenAI's technology into durable capability—through structured training, technical enablement, and scalable deployment programs.

About the Role

The AI Deployment Manager is a specialist post-sales enablement role focused on delivering high-impact enablement and adoption services across OpenAI's product suite. This role is responsible for designing and delivering enablement experiences that support a repeatable adoption framework, driving sustained activation, expanding breadth and depth of usage, and measurable business value across OpenAI's product suite, including ChatGPT Enterprise and Agents. This role blends strong product fluency, instructional design, and customer advisory. This role is based in San Francisco with a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week.

In this role, you will:

• Own the enablement of OpenAI products, including ChatGPT Enterprise and Agents, helping define effective enablement patterns that support adoption across business and technical teams within enterprise organizations.
• Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for designated product areas, building deep expertise, supporting internal enablement, identifying emerging customer use cases for new product surfaces, and aggregating customer feedback to inform product development.
• Lead customer enablement across the full customer lifecycle, from initial onboarding through expansion, optimization, and long-term adoption.
• Design and deliver high-impact engagements, including onboarding sessions, advanced capability trainings, executive briefings, hackathons, and hands-on workshops for audiences ranging from senior leaders to working teams.
• Drive customer activation, sustained usage, and measurable business value through structured enablement programs designed for durable, organization-wide adoption.
• Partner closely with Sales, Solution Architects, and Delivery Leads to drive adoption across our core product suite.
• Develop and refine reusable training assets, playbooks, and best practices based on patterns observed across customers and regions.
• Gather customer feedback from training and enablement engagements, synthesize themes across accounts, and relay insights to internal stakeholders to inform product and program improvements.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Speak fluent business-level Japanese, as you will be engaging with Japanese-speaking customers.
• Have 6+ years of experience in customer facing, enablement, or instructional roles, engaging C-level, business, and technical audiences in complex enterprise environments.
• Possess exceptional presentation and communication skills, particularly when translating AI capabilities into clear, practical value for senior and executive level audiences.
• Have strong product fluency across ChatGPT, Agents, and the broader OpenAI ecosystem, with a practical understanding of how AI capabilities can be applied to real world workflows and enterprise use cases.
• Have experience leading workshops and enablement programs, with the ability to design learning journeys, facilitate live sessions, and respond to questions in real time.
• Can identify patterns across customers and translate them into scalable approaches that improve adoption across the broader customer base.
• Can connect product capabilities to concrete business outcomes such as productivity gains, operational efficiency, cost reduction, risk mitigation, or revenue impact.
• Are comfortable thinking on your feet in live customer environments, adapting quickly to new information, shifting priorities, and real time questions while maintaining clarity, ownership, and momentum.
• Bring a humble attitude, an eagerness to help others succeed, and a strong curiosity to continuously learn and deepen your understanding of emerging AI capabilities.
• Are personally committed to fostering the safe and responsible evolution of AI.
