Manager, Deployment Lead, Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) - Singapore

OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team partners with customers to turn research breakthroughs into production systems. We operate at the intersection of customer delivery and core platform development.

As a Manager of our Deployment Leads in APAC, you’ll lead and grow a team of DLs through high-stakes customer deployments, owning technical and business outcomes end to end. You’ll help build the function as you lead it, navigating significant ambiguity to define its scope and ways of working.

What you'll do:

• Lead and grow a team of DLs delivering production systems with frontier models
• Own end-to-end delivery outcomes, from scoping through production, adoption, and handoff
• Set direction and build trust across technical teams, GTM, and customer executives
• Codify what works into practical playbooks, consistent delivery practices, and product roadmap inputs
• Set a high bar for DL performance through hands-on coaching, actionable feedback, and career development
• Make staffing decisions, develop future DL leaders, and build a team that scales without unnecessary complexity
