OpenAI is hiring a Web Platform Lead to own and scale our marketing web ecosystem and the technology that powers it. This leader will drive strategy, standards, tooling, and governance across a growing multi-domain environment. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can operate at both a business and a systems level, driving decisions that balance speed with quality, brand integrity, and security.
What You'll Do
- Own and scale the web presence for a defined product portfolio within OpenAI’s broader marketing ecosystem.
- Set the web and platform strategy to evolve from a single core domain into a multi-domain ecosystem with shared standards, tooling, governance, and scalable delivery models.
- Establish and maintain architecture principles, guardrails, and decision frameworks that enable speed without sacrificing quality, brand integrity, or security.
- Lead complex, cross-company web efforts driving alignment and crisp decision-making when priorities compete.
- Build operating rhythms that keep stakeholders aligned and execution unblocked.
- Contribute to the web-related MarTech stack (CMS and publishing workflows, experimentation, analytics/measurement, performance tooling, integrations, etc.).
- Drive AI-native workflows across content, experimentation, and operations to increase throughput and improve quality.
- Create clarity and momentum in a high-velocity environment by owning roadmaps, intake mechanisms, prioritization frameworks, and capacity planning.
- Define what success looks like (KPIs/OKRs), and instrument systems to measure impact reliably.
- Partner with executives and senior leaders across Marketing, Product, Brand, Growth, Comms, Legal, and Engineering to resolve tradeoffs and move work forward.
- Ensure web initiatives support business goals (including conversion and ecommerce-related experiences where applicable), while meeting compliance, privacy, and security expectations.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of experience in e-commerce, web platforms, digital product, growth engineering, or marketing engineering, including leadership of multi-disciplinary teams.
- Demonstrated ownership of a high-scale web ecosystem (multi-domain or multi-product environments), with strong instincts for platform strategy, governance, and execution.
- Strong track record leading cross-functional flagship initiatives with many stakeholders—able to drive clarity, alignment, and decisions.
- Deep experience with experimentation and measurement (A/B testing, analytics, attribution/measurement strategy, performance marketing signals).
- Comfort operating at both strategic and technical levels—able to partner closely with engineers and also communicate crisp tradeoffs to senior stakeholders.
- Excellent operational rigor: roadmap planning, intake/prioritization, capacity management, and delivery hygiene.
