About the role
OpenAI is seeking a seasoned Corporate Development Deal Lead to own high-priority M&A and strategic transactions from evaluation through close.

The role demands financial rigor, founder relationship-building, and crisp execution, with a path to scale Corp Dev through AI-native systems and processes.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
