We work cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, Security, Legal, Marketing, Customer Success, and Sales to turn strategic partnerships into measurable business outcomes.
This role sits within the GTM Partnerships organization and is responsible for leading OpenAI's strategic relationships with three of the world's largest Global Systems Integrators (GSIs): HCLTech, Wipro, and Cognizant. These partners play a critical role in helping enterprise customers design, deploy, and scale AI solutions by combining OpenAI's technology with deep industry expertise, consulting capabilities, and global delivery organizations.

About the Role
We are hiring a Partner Director, HCL, Wipro & Cognizant to lead and grow three of OpenAI's most strategic Global Systems Integrator partnerships. You will own executive relationships, develop and execute joint business plans, and drive coordinated go-to-market motions that accelerate customer adoption and revenue growth.
This is a highly strategic, externally facing role that requires a blend of executive relationship management, commercial leadership, operational excellence, and ecosystem expertise. You'll work closely with OpenAI Sales, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Product, Marketing, Legal, Security, and partner leadership teams to build repeatable motions that generate pipeline, enable successful customer deployments, and deepen long-term strategic alignment.
The ideal candidate understands how large consulting organizations operate, has experience driving revenue through strategic partnerships, and thrives in fast-paced, highly collaborative environments where they can build new programs while scaling existing ones.
In This Role, You Will

• Own the strategic and commercial relationships with HCLTech, Wipro, and Cognizant, driving long-term partnership growth and executive alignment.
• Develop and execute joint business plans that accelerate customer acquisition, AI adoption, and revenue across enterprise accounts.
• Build scalable co-sell motions with OpenAI Sales teams, including joint account planning, pipeline generation, executive engagement, and opportunity management.
• Partner closely with alliance leaders, AI practice teams, industry leaders, and delivery organizations within each GSI to develop repeatable AI transformation offerings.
• Drive field collaboration between OpenAI Account Executives and partner sellers to increase pipeline creation, customer wins, and successful deployments.
• Establish strong operating cadence across internal and partner stakeholders through quarterly business reviews, executive governance, pipeline inspections, forecasting, and performance reporting.
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, Security, Legal, and Commercial teams to support partner-led customer engagements and remove blockers to execution.
• Help partners build differentiated OpenAI capabilities through enablement programs, certifications, solution development, and AI practice expansion.
• Identify new market opportunities, industry solutions, and regional growth initiatives that strengthen OpenAI's position within each partner organization.
• Represent OpenAI alongside executive partner leadership in customer meetings, strategic planning sessions, conferences, and industry events.

You Might Thrive in This Role If You Have

• Significant experience leading strategic alliances, Global Systems Integrator partnerships, or ecosystem relationships within enterprise software, cloud, AI, or consulting.
• Deep familiarity with large GSIs-particularly HCLTech, Wipro, and Cognizant-and an understanding of how they operate across consulting, systems integration, managed services, and enterprise transformation.
• Experience building and executing joint go-to-market strategies that produce measurable pipeline, customer adoption, and revenue growth.
• A strong track record of influencing enterprise sales organizations and driving successful co-sell execution across complex buying cycles.
• Experience developing executive relationships across both business and technical stakeholders.
• Strong operational rigor with experience managing governance frameworks, business reviews, forecasting, pipeline health, and executive communications.
• Technical fluency and the ability to engage credibly with solution architects, AI practice leaders, delivery organizations, and engineering stakeholders without being hands-on technical.
• Experience supporting enterprise AI, cloud, SaaS, or digital transformation initiatives for large global customers.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and executive presentation skills.
• A builder mindset with the ability to create scalable partnership programs, solve ambiguous problems, and drive execution across multiple stakeholders.
