About the Team
Customer Education helps enterprises develop the capabilities their workforce needs to use AI effectively, build and deploy AI solutions, and get more value from OpenAI’s products. The Champion Programs team helps enterprise customers identify and develop the people who lead AI adoption across their organizations. Through the OpenAI Champion Network, we help Champions learn from OpenAI and peers, support their colleagues and work together to lead change.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Community Programs Manager to help grow the OpenAI Champion Network. You’ll own engagement and recognition programs and build and maintain the systems and automations that deliver relevant, reliable member experiences at scale.
Working directly with AI Leaders across segments, industries and stages of AI adoption, you’ll use their needs and feedback to shape programming. You’ll bring insights and recommendations from this work to Customer Education and GTM to inform broader customer programs and priorities.
In this role, you will:
• Develop and run engagement and recognition programs that strengthen participation and contribution. Set clear outcomes and own these initiatives from design and launch through measurement and ongoing improvement
• Design personalized communications and member experiences that connect Champions with relevant learning, resources and peers. Partner with program owners to address the needs of different audiences
• Build and maintain the processes and systems behind membership, events and program delivery, using automation and AI to support scale. Define requirements for complex builds and validate and monitor solutions delivered with technical partners
• Establish reliable data collection and partner with Customer Education Operations on reporting. Use program data and member feedback to recommend priorities and improvements across Champion Programs, Customer Education and GTM
• Lead cross-functional work with go-to-market teams on Champion recruitment and growth. Build alignment across teams, clarify responsibilities, resolve dependencies and adapt delivery as priorities and member needs change
You might thrive in this role if you:
• Have more than five years of relevant experience in customer success, community or program management, with a track record of taking programs from an idea through launch and ongoing improvement
• Have helped programs grow by improving the member experience and building repeatable processes, systems and automation, working with technical partners where needed
• Use customer insights and data to make clear choices about what to build, improve or stop, and understand whether programs are delivering value
• Are a clear writer and communicator who can engage different audiences, build alignment across teams and follow through on shared commitments
• Thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment, bringing structure to ambiguous problems, making practical tradeoffs and adapting as priorities and customer needs change
• Use AI actively in your work, with thoughtful judgment about how it can improve programs, the quality of its outputs and where human involvement matters
