Executive Innovation Lead, AI Transformation
OpenAI
The AI Transformation and Innovation team helps senior leaders imagine how AI could reshape their business—and turn the strongest ideas into action.
We work in small, multidisciplinary pods that bring together innovation strategy, research, experience design, prototyping, and technical expertise. We help customers look beyond incremental use cases, identify new sources of value, and explore how AI could change their products, services, customer experiences, and ways of working.
Our work moves quickly from insight to possibility to tangible proof. We partner with Sales, Solutions, Success, Product, Engineering, and implementation teams to help promising ideas move toward execution.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As an Executive Innovation Lead, you will lead high-impact innovation engagements with CEOs and senior leadership teams.
You will help customers explore what is newly possible with AI, identify opportunities worth pursuing, and make future ideas concrete enough to evaluate. You will lead executive discovery, design and facilitate working sessions, guide a multidisciplinary pod, and turn emerging insights into a clear innovation direction.
This role requires more than generating ideas. You will help leadership teams make choices: which opportunities matter, what needs to change, what should be tested, and what should happen next.
This is a senior individual-contributor role for someone who combines strategic judgment, creative thinking, executive presence, and exceptional facilitation.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL
- Lead innovation engagements with CEOs, executive sponsors, and senior functional leaders.
- Help customers identify where AI could create new products, services, experiences, capabilities, or business models.
- Challenge conventional assumptions and help leaders consider possibilities beyond today’s processes and constraints.
- Design and facilitate executive workshops that move from exploration to clear choices and action.
