Lead, Technical AI Deployment Manager
About The Position
At OpenAI, we believe that artificial general intelligence (AGI) should benefit all of humanity. To realize this vision, we’re building the technical foundations that help enterprises move from experimentation to real-world, production-grade use of our platform and coding products. The Lead, Technical ADM is a foundational role in that effort. You will define how OpenAI’s deep technical expertise is delivered to builders and engineering teams — moving us from high-touch, scarce delivery to a scalable, repeatable technical training motion that drives real customer outcomes. This role is responsible for designing and scaling OpenAI’s technical adoption motion for developers. The Technical ADM function translates OpenAI’s platform capabilities into practical, high-quality technical training that helps customers design, build, and deploy real systems. This role sits at the intersection of technical depth, education, and scale . You will lead by doing first — delivering high-impact technical trainings yourself — and then build the team, standards, and operating model that allow this work to scale globally. This is a founding leadership role with meaningful visibility and a clear growth path as impact is demonstrated.
Requirements
- Deep technical fluency with APIs and modern software development workflows.
- Ability to teach and explain complex technical concepts at 103-level depth , including how OpenAI products change how teams design and ship software.
- Demonstrated ability to do the work first and then scale it through others.
- Strong judgment navigating tradeoffs between bespoke delivery and scalable systems.
- Early leadership experience or strong interest in growing as a people manager.

- Design and deliver high-impact technical services (e.g., API 103-level depth, applying OpenAI products to real enterprise use cases, evolving customer SDLCs). Focus on how our platform changes software development, system design, and enterprise SDLCs
- Own outcomes and impact
- Be accountable for measurable outcomes from technical education efforts, including Production use cases launched Token consumption and platform usage for educated customers Throughput and reuse of technical training Continuously evaluate tradeoffs between depth vs. scale, bespoke vs. repeatable, and speed vs. rigor — and adjust the model as we learn.
- Build the Technical ADM function
- Hire, develop, and lead our first cohort of technical ADMs Establish standards for technical depth, delivery quality, and excellence in training. Create the operating model that enables the function to scale sustainably as demand grows.
- Collaborate with Core / Coding / Emerging Products teams to standardize the ADM motion.
- Partner across OpenAI Works closely with Product, Engineering, and DevEx teams to ensure technical programs remain aligned with the platform roadmap Partner closely with Customer Education to define and maintain the canonical builder and coder journey , from onboarding through production use. Partner with SAs and ASEs to ensure programs reinforce other technical engagement models
