Product Manager, Multimodal

The OpenAI Platform team builds the foundation that enables every developer, enterprise, and partner to harness OpenAI’s models safely, reliably, and at scale. We design and operate the systems that power model serving, API access, billing, developer tooling, and enterprise integrations—forming the connective tissue between OpenAI’s research breakthroughs and real-world products.

Our mission is to make it effortless for anyone to build with OpenAI technology. We’re responsible for the infrastructure and product layers that allow millions of developers to integrate GPT models, fine-tune behavior, manage data, and deliver transformative experiences to their users. We collaborate across product, research, and engineering teams to ensure that innovation in model capabilities translates directly into value for customers.

The Platform team spans multiple disciplines, including product management, infrastructure engineering, developer experience, and data systems. We care deeply about reliability, scalability, and simplicity—creating tools that let developers focus on their ideas while we handle the complexity of running world-class AI systems.

We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the evolution of OpenAI’s multimodal APIs—spanning voice, image, and video—and ensure our models perform seamlessly across diverse use cases and industries.

You will own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for how our multimodal models are exposed to developers and businesses through our platform. This includes defining APIs, shaping performance metrics, guiding fine-tuning and deployment workflows, and ensuring that every new capability can be safely and effectively adopted by partners and customers.

You’ll collaborate deeply with research scientists, engineers, and enterprise teams to turn model innovation into practical, scalable products that redefine how people and businesses interact with AI.

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:

• Lead the product vision and roadmap for OpenAI’s multimodal APIs (voice, image, video).

• Translate model research and technical advancements into developer-friendly products.

• Define and measure model performance metrics for real-world business applications.

• Partner with engineering to deliver reliable, high-performance APIs and SDKs.

• Collaborate with go-to-market and customer success teams to ensure seamless adoption across industries like creative media, communications, enterprise productivity, and more.

• Drive prioritization and cross-functional alignment to deliver multimodal capabilities that delight users while meeting the highest standards of safety, reliability, and scalability.

• Represent the customer and developer perspective within OpenAI, ensuring that our models are both technically robust and intuitively usable.

• Have 6+ years of experience in product management for developer platforms, APIs, or applied AI products.

• Possess a deep technical understanding of multimodal or ML systems, with experience working closely with engineering and research teams.

• Are skilled at turning abstract technical capabilities into clear, user-centered products.

• Communicate effectively across technical and business stakeholders.

• Thrive in ambiguity, using data and intuition to define product direction in new problem spaces.

• Care deeply about delivering products that are safe, performant, and transformative.
