Southern Europe B2B Marketing Manager

About the TeamLike every team at OpenAI, the Marketing team contributes directly to our mission of responsible and widespread AI adoption.

The EMEA B2B Marketing team translates global priorities into regionally relevant programs that drive awareness, consideration, pipeline, adoption, and long-term customer trust. We partner closely with Sales and GTM, Product Marketing, Field and Executive Marketing, Content, Customer Marketing, Partner Marketing, Comms, Events, Marketing Operations, and regional leadership.

France will be the primary focus within the Southern Europe remit. Our opportunity spans major enterprises and digital natives, ambitious startups, developers, partners, and a highly influential business community navigating the adoption of AI.

About the RoleAs Southern Europe B2B Marketing Manager, you will own the integrated B2B marketing strategy and execution for Southern Europe, with France as the primary focus.

You will be a close commercial partner to local Sales and GTM leadership, translating market insight, revenue priorities, target-account needs, and global launches into locally relevant programs that create pipeline, accelerate complex opportunities, deepen customer relationships, and grow adoption.

You will carry clear pipeline goals and be accountable for Marketing’s measurable contribution to commercial outcomes in Southern Europe. These goals will be established through the regional planning process and will evolve with the priorities and maturity of the market. You will be expected to understand the pipeline, make informed investment decisions, and demonstrate how marketing activity creates, influences, or accelerates revenue opportunities.

This is a generalist role spanning field and executive marketing, demand generation, account-based programs, content, customer marketing, partnerships, events, and product launches.

Together, you will establish campaign infrastructure, audience and account segmentation, attribution, reporting, and operating rhythms that give Sales and Marketing a reliable view of performance and inform where the team should invest next.
