Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Lead the design direction for foundational payments, billing, and monetization experiences across OpenAI’s consumer and enterprise products.
• Design and ship high-quality, end-to-end product experiences, from early systems and interaction concepts to high-fidelity prototypes and production-ready designs.
• Shape the infrastructure and product frameworks that support emerging AI usage models, including pay-as-you-go, Codex usage, and agentic work.
• Partner closely with engineering, product management, finance, and design peers to define long-term platform strategy, influence the roadmap, and prioritize near-term execution.
• Translate complex platform dependencies, financial logic, and technical constraints into clear, trustworthy, and scalable user experiences.
• Engage in user research to understand how individuals and organizations evaluate pricing, track usage, manage billing, and make purchasing decisions.
• Contribute to and evolve the design systems, patterns, and principles that bring consistency to payments and monetization across OpenAI products.
• Help establish the design culture for a growing, foundational product area.
• You might thrive in this role if you:
• Are a strong systems thinker who can connect user experiences to the underlying platform, business logic, and technical architecture.
• Have experience designing complex, infrastructure-adjacent, platform, or enterprise product experiences.
• Have strong UX/UI and interaction design skills, with a high bar for quality, clarity, and craft.
• Are comfortable leading an ambiguous product area, developing a clear vision, and shaping a roadmap alongside product and engineering partners.
• Can explain complex decisions and tradeoffs clearly to technical, business, and design stakeholders.
• Enjoy solving problems where scalability, reliability, and long-term product coherence matter as much as the immediate user experience.
• Are excited by defining how customers understand and pay for emerging AI products and behaviors.
• Have experience with payments, billing, pricing, monetization, or usage-based products, or are eager to apply strong platform-design experience to those challenges.
• Can work within, improve, and contribute to a shared design system.
