About the Role

We are hiring a Head of Growth GSIs - Cognizant Infosys & Wipro to lead and scale OpenAI's partnerships with Global Systems Integrators. You will be responsible for building strategic relationships with leading GSI partners, translating shared priorities into scalable partnership motions, and driving customer adoption through joint go-to-market, solution development, and delivery enablement.

This leader will operate as the single accountable owner for a portfolio of high-impact GSI partnerships, setting direction, establishing operating cadence, and aligning internal and partner stakeholders to deliver measurable business outcomes. Success in this role requires strong executive presence, sound judgment, and the ability to navigate complex, global, cross-functional partnerships across GTM, product, solutions, legal, security, and partner organizations.

In this role, you will:

• Own and grow OpenAI's strategic partnerships with International GSIs, with accountability for partnership health, adoption, revenue impact, and long-term growth.
• Define the partnership strategy and priorities for GSIs, including joint business plans, goals, execution roadmaps, and success metrics.
• Establish and run a durable operating model, including governance, executive alignment, escalation paths, business reviews, and execution cadence.
• Build and drive joint GTM plans with Sales, Solutions, and Marketing teams, including field enablement, solution positioning, demand generation, and coordinated customer execution.
• Partner with Solutions, Product, and Engineering teams to identify repeatable enterprise use cases, delivery motions, and implementation patterns that help customers successfully adopt OpenAI products at scale.
• Collaborate with Security, Legal, Privacy, and Commercial teams to ensure appropriate trust, compliance, and commercial frameworks for partner-led work.
• Enable GSI partners to build OpenAI expertise across advisory, implementation, transformation, and managed services practices.
• Track performance against clear metrics, identify bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement across partnerships, programs, and field execution.
• Represent OpenAI with senior partner executives, driving alignment, resolving issues, and expanding partnership scope over time.
• Travel regularly to international locations such as India

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• Significant experience leading strategic GSI, alliances, or channel partnerships in enterprise software, cloud, consulting, or AI.
• Deep familiarity with Global Systems Integrators and how they operate across global enterprise customers, transformation programs, and delivery organizations.
• A track record building and scaling partnerships from early-stage strategy through executive alignment, field activation, delivery enablement, and measurable business impact.
• Strong technical and product fluency, with the ability to partner effectively with Solutions, Product, Engineering, and Security teams without needing to be the hands-on implementer.
• Experience navigating enterprise requirements related to security, privacy, governance, compliance, and commercial models in partner-led initiatives.
• Exceptional cross-functional leadership and the ability to drive alignment across Sales/GTM, Solutions, Product, Engineering, Legal, and partner organizations.
• Strong executive presence, negotiation capability, and comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
• Clear, concise communication skills with experience producing decision-ready memos, joint plans, executive updates, and partnership business reviews.
