About the role
- You'll work closely with Research to understand the capabilities, limitations, and context behind each launch, then help creative teams turn that understanding into strong work.
- That means shaping actionable briefs, securing the right inputs and resources, making reviews productive, and adapting as research and launch plans evolve.
- You'll bring calm judgment, technical curiosity, and respect for creative craft to fast-moving work where accuracy matters as much as timing.
Responsibilities
- Build close working relationships with Researchers and various technical product partners.
- Partner with Research, Product, Product Marketing, Communications, and Creative leads to turn launch priorities into clear briefs, deliverables, production scopes, and approval plans.
- Own work from creative development through final handoff. Set milestones and owners, track dependencies, and surface changes in research readiness, scope, or timing with practical options.
- Produce integrated launch assets across design, motion, film, demos, web, and social, including creative assets for research blogs and system cards. Bring specialist teams together around a consistent story.
- Manage production resources and external partners, including scopes, estimates, budgets, and vendor deliverables. Work with the appropriate teams on statements of work, purchase orders, and usage rights.
- Lead reviews with Research and technical, legal, policy, and creative owners from early input through final approval.
- Turn feedback into clear actions, resolve conflicts, and document decisions.
- Plan versioning and localization with channel and regional partners. Oversee asset QA, specifications, and final handoffs so teams publish the correct, approved versions.
- Bring deep technical curiosity and a hands-on drive to understand Research, learn as the technology evolves, and champion OpenAI's mission as a Research lab.
- You build context quickly and work confidently with researchers and engineers.
Requirements
- Have 8+ years of experience producing complex creative work for technology or research-driven launches, with hands-on responsibility from briefing and scoping through production and delivery.
- Occasional travel will be required.
Nice to have
- Experience working directly with AI researchers or producing model launches, technical demonstrations, or scientific storytelling.
- Experience delivering localized creative across markets and coordinating rights, approvals, and asset versioning.
- We push the boundaries of the capabilities of AI systems and seek to safely deploy them to the world through our products.
