Overview

• India Today reports, citing unnamed sources, that Fidji Simo is meeting candidates to lead ChatGPT monetisation, including advertising and subscriptions.
• The role would report to Simo, who joined last month to head OpenAI’s Applications unit after serving as Instacart’s CEO.
• No public job listing for the monetisation position appears on OpenAI’s careers page, though related technical roles for advertising infrastructure are posted.
• OpenAI has confirmed an AI-powered Jobs Platform targeting a mid-2026 launch, with Simo describing AI-driven matching between employer needs and worker skills.
• Reporting also points to an OpenAI Academy certifications pilot by late 2025, and the talent push could place OpenAI in closer competition with Microsoft-owned LinkedIn.
