Overview Application About the Team The Core Models team helps shape how OpenAI’s frontier models are built, measured, and launched. We work across Research, Engineering, Model Design, Data Science, and Product to turn advances in model capabilities into reliable, useful experiences for people. Our scope includes model planning and launches as well as building data flywheels, evaluations and measurement systems to ensure our models have strong capabilities and behavior. About the Role As a Product Manager for the Core Models team, you'll be at the forefront of defining and guiding the future of how our AI models work in real-world applications. You will connect user needs to model and systems decisions: how prompts are understood; how information is aggregated and made useful for training and evaluation data; and how capabilities move from research prototypes into the mainline model and launch stack. You will operate comfortably across research, infrastructure, and consumer product surfaces, creating clarity where ownership and technical boundaries are still emerging. 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. In this role, you will: Translate user and product goals into clear model requirements, system architecture choices, and research priorities across query understanding, indexing, retrieval, ranking, tool boundaries, data, training, inference, and evaluation. Build closed learning loops that turn product usage, explicit feedback, and other user signals into datasets, evaluations, experiments, training priorities, and launch decisions. Define success across offline evaluations and online product metrics, balancing model quality, usefulness, latency, safety, reliability, and cost. Partner closely with post-training research, applied product engineering, Model Design, and Data Science to integrate capabilities into the mainline model stack. Create reusable platforms and operating systems for evaluation, experimentation, and signal collection so that new capabilities improve faster over time. Use concrete product failures and emerging user needs to identify gaps, form hypotheses, and shape the next wave of research and product investment. You might thrive in this role if you: Have deep expertise in product management or closely related experience, including ownership of technically complex products or platforms. Bring deep fluency in one or more relevant domains: search and information retrieval, recommendation or personalization systems, ML platforms, large-scale data systems, model evaluation, or AI product infrastructure. Know how to pair offline evaluation with online experimentation and user signals, and can distinguish a useful metric from a convenient one. Earn the trust of researchers and engineers through technical depth, crisp judgment, and a willingness to engage directly with the details. Combine consumer product taste with systems rigor, and care about both the quality people feel and the infrastructure that makes it repeatable. Move quickly in ambiguous environments, communicate directly, and help teams make sound decisions without waiting for perfect information. Care deeply about how increasingly capable models affect people, and bring humility, judgment, and a strong sense of responsibility to the work.

Apply Sign in to favorite Permalink

About the Role

We're looking for a Head of Competitive Intelligence to build and lead a world-class competitive intelligence function. This person will transform market signals into strategic advantage by developing the frameworks, analysis, and insights that inform our product strategy, go-to-market approach, and executive decision-making.

This is not a research role. It's a highly cross-functional strategy role that sits at the intersection of Product, GTM, Research, and Leadership. You'll establish the systems, operating cadence, and analytical rigor that help the company understand where we win, where we're vulnerable, and how the market is evolving.

What You'll Do

Build and own the company's competitive intelligence strategy and operating model.
Develop and maintain comprehensive competitive assessments, including Harvey Ball analyses, feature matrices, product comparisons, pricing analyses, and market landscape reviews.
Create executive-ready competitive insights that influence product strategy, roadmap prioritization, pricing, and investment decisions.
Build best-in-class objection handling and competitive messaging for Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partnerships.
Monitor competitor product launches, model releases, acquisitions, partnerships, pricing changes, funding, and GTM motions, synthesizing complex information into clear strategic recommendations.
Establish repeatable processes and tooling for collecting, validating, and distributing competitive intelligence across the company.
Partner closely with Product Management to inform roadmap decisions and identify areas of strategic differentiation.
Collaborate with Marketing to sharpen positioning and messaging based on competitive dynamics.
Support executive leadership with board-ready competitive analyses and market briefings.
Build dashboards and reporting that track competitive movements and emerging industry trends.
Develop frameworks that evaluate competitors across capabilities, enterprise readiness, developer experience, ecosystem, security, and customer value—not just feature parity.

What We're Looking For:

15+ years of experience in competitive intelligence, strategy consulting, product strategy, corporate strategy, or a similar analytical role.
Experience building a competitive intelligence function from the ground up.
Exceptional analytical and structured thinking skills with the ability to distill complex markets into clear frameworks.
Strong understanding of enterprise software, AI platforms, SaaS, or cloud technologies.
Experience producing executive-facing strategic analyses and recommendations.
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with the ability to influence senior leaders.
Ability to synthesize quantitative data, qualitative research, customer feedback, and market intelligence into actionable insights.
Experience partnering across Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Executive teams.
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment where competitive landscapes evolve rapidly.

Nice to Have

Experience in AI, machine learning, foundation models, or developer platforms.
Familiarity with benchmarking methodologies, win/loss programs, and competitive positioning frameworks.
Experience supporting enterprise sales organizations with battlecards and competitive enablement.
Background in management consulting or strategic planning.

Success in This Role:

Built a trusted competitive intelligence function that informs company strategy.
Established a single source of truth for competitive analyses and market insights.
Created executive dashboards and recurring competitive reviews that shape product and GTM decisions.
Enabled Sales and Marketing with best-in-class competitive content that improves win rates.
Helped leadership identify emerging market opportunities and competitive risks before they become obvious.

You'll thrive in this role if you're intellectually curious, highly analytical, and able to connect disparate signals into compelling strategic narratives. You enjoy building systems from scratch, influencing without authority, and helping an organization make better decisions through deep understanding of the competitive landscape.
