About The Position

The B2B Marketing team contributes to OpenAI’s broader mission of ensuring responsible and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence. We are responsible for developing and executing strategies that drive awareness, engagement, and usage for OpenAI’s products and platform. We take a data-driven approach to understand our customers' needs and challenges, ensuring that their voices are reflected in product development and messaging. We then partner closely with Product, Engineering, Growth, Sales, Research, Comms, and Design teams to create a cohesive customer experience across all our channels.

We’re looking for a highly technical Product Marketing Manager to help drive adoption and growth of Codex. This role requires deep familiarity with developer tools, coding workflows, and modern AI-assisted development environments. Codex is becoming an essential AI collaborator for developers—helping them write, understand, and ship code faster across real production workflows. You will help translate technical innovation into clear value for developers, shape how Codex is positioned in a rapidly evolving AI coding landscape, and drive programs that expand adoption and usage across the developer ecosystem.

This is a highly cross-functional role that blends traditional product marketing responsibilities with developer ecosystem fluency and growth thinking. You will work closely with Product, Developer Experience, Sales, and Growth teams to launch new capabilities, enable go-to-market teams, and ensure Codex continues to resonate with developers building software. The ideal candidate combines strong product marketing fundamentals with deep technical fluency and a strong intuition for how developers discover, evaluate, and adopt new tools.

Requirements

• Has 14+ years of experience in technical product marketing or developer marketing for developer tools, infrastructure products, or technical platforms.
• Has firsthand familiarity with developer tooling and workflows and can engage credibly with engineers on topics such as coding environments, developer platforms, and AI-assisted software development.
• Has led complex product launches involving multiple cross-functional teams.
• Understands developer workflows and how developers discover, evaluate, and adopt new tools.
• Is deeply plugged into the developer ecosystem and actively follows the evolution of AI coding tools such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and similar developer platforms.
