OpenAI•San Francisco, CA

2d•$216,000 - $240,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Support team is central to ensuring that our customers' experience with our products is nothing short of exceptional. We resolve complex issues, provide technical guidance, and support customers in maximizing value and adoption from deploying our products. We work closely with Sales, Technical Success, Product, Engineering and others to deliver the best possible experience to our customers at scale. OpenAI's customers represent a range of diverse backgrounds and maturity, from early-stage startups to established global enterprises. As a Product Engagement Specialist on the User Operations team you will be a hands-on systems builder responsible for making product launches and frontline feedback more scaleable, measurable and actionable across both internal User Operations and external third-party teams. You’ll be responsible for not only managing the project timelines, but also designing and shipping the workflows, tooling and data systems that connect the voice of the user into actionable improvements for Product and Engineering teams. We’re looking for people who thrive at the intersection of project management, team enablement, and customer advocacy, and enjoy working cross-functionally in a fast-paced, evolving environment. We are also looking for individuals that will not just do the day to day work - but will also be deeply involved in architecting the systems of feedback sharing and collection with our stakeholder groups across Support, Product, and Engineering. Think data systems, not better slide decks. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
