About the Team

The Shopping team is building the future of how people discover, evaluate, and purchase products through AI. Our mission is to help users make better purchasing decisions by combining OpenAI’s models with rich product information, merchant ecosystems, and personalized experiences. We sit at the intersection of AI, commerce, search, recommendations, and consumer product experiences, partnering closely with product, engineering, research, design, and business teams to reimagine shopping for the AI era.

As a Product Manager on the Shopping team, you’ll define and build the next generation of AI-powered shopping experiences within ChatGPT. You’ll be responsible for understanding user needs, identifying opportunities to improve product discovery and decision-making, and delivering experiences that help users confidently find and purchase the products that are right for them.

You’ll work across a broad set of domains, including search, recommendations, personalization, merchant and product ecosystems, and conversational commerce.
