OpenAI's mission is to build safe artificial general intelligence (AGI) which benefits all of humanity. This long-term undertaking brings the world's best scientists, engineers, and business professionals into one lab together to accomplish this.

In pursuit of this mission, our Go To Market (GTM) team helps customers understand, adopt, and deploy OpenAI's technology across their most important workflows. The team is made up of Sales, Solutions, Support, Marketing, and Partnerships professionals who work together to bring AI to as many people and organizations as possible.

As an Account Director focused on Life Sciences, you will own executive-level relationships with organizations across biopharma, medical technology, and life science services. This includes pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, medical device and diagnostics companies, contract research organizations, contract development and manufacturing organizations, research tools companies, and laboratory or scientific services providers.

This is a role for someone who understands how life sciences companies create, validate, manufacture, commercialize, and support scientific and medical products. You will help these customers evaluate and deploy OpenAI's technology to accelerate R&D, improve clinical and regulatory workflows, scale scientific and medical content operations, modernize commercial and field teams, and improve knowledge work across highly regulated environments.

The role blends scientific literacy, enterprise sales discipline, technical curiosity, and relationship-driven account leadership. You will partner closely with solutions, research, product, legal, security, and compliance teams to design secure, responsible, and high-impact AI deployments for life sciences customers.

This role can be remote but New York or San Francisco office locations are preferred. We use a hybrid work model of three days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
