We take a data-driven approach to understand markets, develop monetization strategies, and uncover customer needs that shape product strategy and messaging.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Scientist to join OpenAI’s Ads Marketing Science function. Reporting to Marketing Science leadership, you’ll be a senior individual contributor who combines rigorous measurement expertise with strong client judgment and hands-on execution. Your mission is to help OpenAI Ads prove and improve advertisers’ media performance. You’ll work with sales, partners, and clients supporting all forms of measurement including verification, attribution, incrementality, brand, visitation, marketing mix modeling (MMM), and scalable advertiser reporting, connecting sound methodology to decisions advertisers can act on. This New York or San Francisco based role will partner closely with Sales on key advertising accounts and with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Partnerships, Legal, and Privacy.

Initial priorities include advancing incrementality measurement, helping onboard measurement partners to OpenAI’s data interfaces, and creating reusable programs, tools, agents, skills, and workflows that let sales and clients access high-quality Marketing Science support at scale.

In This Role You Will Partner with Sales, advertisers, and agencies to shape learning agendas, interpret results, and improve media performance.

You Will Thrive In This Role If You Have deep expertise (10+ years) in advertising measurement, including experimentation, incrementality testing, attribution, and econometric approaches such as MMM.

Are a hands-on senior individual contributor who works directly with large datasets using SQL, Python or R, and AI-enabled analytical workflows, without sacrificing rigor or judgment.

Have designed or operated lift and incrementality programs, including experiment design, power analysis, governance, diagnostics, and statistical quality standards.

Bring experience with third-party measurement providers, partner onboarding, APIs or data integrations, and translating partner needs into practical product requirements.

Partner effectively with Product, Engineering, and Data Science to turn measurement methodology into scalable tools, reporting, or platform capabilities.

Can translate complex statistical concepts into practical decisions for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Thrive in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments and can influence across teams without relying on formal authority.

Care deeply about privacy-forward, trustworthy measurement that helps advertisers understand, prove, and improve media performance.
