Rev Ops Team Analysis.

Key insights and takeaways from their approach.

OpenAI is making serious investments in Rev Ops, which is no surprise given the Sales team grew 300% YOY.

For context, the Sales team at OpenAI is <200 people today - but growing fast.

In most scenarios, companies are slow to invest in GTM Strategy. They likely hire a Rev Ops Leader and maybe some in-the-weeds ICs.

OpenAI is taking the opposite approach as they invest heavily at the top.

The Timeline of GTM Strategy Hires at OpenAI

  • In Nov 2023, they hire the former a Head of Rev Ops at MURAL.
  • In Jan 2024, they hired:
    • A Revenue Enablement Leader from Webflow.
    • Head of Rev Ops & Biz Ops at Mutiny (now leading Rev Ops for API Biz)
  • In Feb 2024, they hired:
    • Head of GTM Operations from Middesk
    • GTM Analytics Leader from Slack
  • In March 2024, they hired the Deal Strategy Manager from FullStory.
  • In April 2024, they hired:
    • A Sr. Manager of Revenue Strategy from Rippling
    • A GTM Analytics Manager from Snowflake
  • In June 2024, they hired:
    • A Data Science Leader from Instacart.
    • Head of Global Enablement from New Relic.
  • And actively hiring a GTM Product Enablement Manager.

Their approach isn’t unique simply because they are hiring a lot of people.

They have resourced virtually every discipline needed within Rev Ops and done so with a group of incredibly seasoned, specialized Leaders.

  1. GTM Operations
  2. Sales Strategy
  3. GTM Systems
  4. Sales Enablement
  5. Deal Strategy
  6. GTM Analytics
  7. GTM Product Enablement
  8. Partner Enablement

This team is already a multi-million dollar line item in the annual budget.

And yes, we all know they have deep pockets.

It’s not a Rev Ops team your average startup can build for ~200 Reps.

But plenty of companies have Rev Ops teams 3x bigger that look like a mess. So this is all to say - here is a perfectly constructed, cross-disciplinary group to drive GTM Strategy forward.

Under Construction

We refresh teams on an ongoing basis. Some take longer than others. Stay tuned!
