About the Team
OpenAI Finance ensures the organization is positioned for long-term success as we pursue our mission.
The Revenue team plays a critical role in enabling OpenAI to scale its commercial offerings – overseeing billing operations, deal desk, revenue systems, and revenue accounting. We work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market teams to support new monetization strategies, improve operational efficiency, and maintain financial integrity.
About the Role
We’re seeking an experienced Revenue Systems Lead to drive the evolution of our billing infrastructure and monetization platform. In this role, you’ll own the roadmap and execution strategy for foundational systems that power our pricing, billing, and revenue workflows. You’ll help ensure our infrastructure is scalable, resilient, and adaptable to support a dynamic and fast-growing product portfolio.
You’ll serve as a key partner to Engineering, Product, and Finance teams – shaping systems architecture, supporting critical launches, and aligning infrastructure with our long-term strategic goals.
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:
Define and lead the strategic roadmap for Revenue Systems Infrastructure, focused on scalability, automation, compliance, and operational excellence.
Drive the evolution of our billing systems, including improving ingestion and rating capabilities, and enabling new product models.
Own the intake, design, and implementation of monetization workflows – including usage-based billing and enterprise customizations.
Shape long-term systems architecture to support global expansion, new monetization strategies, and enhanced observability and control.
Collaborate cross-functionally with teams across Finance, GTM Systems, and Product to deliver infrastructure that supports business growth and financial readiness.
You might thrive in this role if you have:
10+ years of experience in Revenue Systems, Billing Infrastructure, Revenue Operations, or Order-to-Cash at high-growth or enterprise-scale companies.
Proven success leading complex systems initiatives, from roadmap definition to execution, with deep cross-functional alignment.
Technical and operational fluency across billing, CPQ, order management, and revenue recognition systems.
Exceptional communication skills and a track record of influencing decisions across Finance, Engineering, and Product stakeholders.
A strong data-driven mindset — with experience in SQL, reconciliation processes, and financial system reliability.
Excitement to work at the intersection of finance, systems, and emerging technologies in a fast-paced environment.
