About the OpportunityWe're looking for a hands-on Art Director to help develop and make work across campaigns, research launches, and social. In the near term, you'll focus on supporting research-related creative projects and launches, with opportunities to contribute more broadly.
You're a visual thinker and a maker: someone who can find a strong visual idea, build a quick prototype, and carry it through to execution. You bring craft, curiosity, and resourcefulness, and enjoy creating content across mediums with a small team, a short timeline, or an evolving brief.
You'll bring art direction and visual storytelling to projects that turn complex technology into ideas people connect with. Working closely with creative leads, copywriters, designers, and other creative partners, you'll develop the visual approach and bring a distinctive point of view from concept through execution.
This role is based in New York City and works across campaign and social, in close collaboration with OpenAI's Creative, Marketing, Product, and Communications teams.
In this role, you will:- Develop and make visual ideas across campaigns and social, from the first concept through launch, supporting priorities across the creative team
- Own hands-on art direction and design for assigned projects, partnering with copywriters and other creatives to bring clear, distinctive stories to life
- Prototype quickly through visual concepts, mockups, storyboards, rough edits, and other working examples that help the team test and develop ideas
- Create visual work across formats, including short-form video, social posts, digital experiences, and campaign assets, adapting ideas to the medium and audience
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, creators, and production partners, staying close to execution and using feedback to improve the work
You might thrive in this role if you:- Have 8+ years of relevant experience
- Bring a strong portfolio of campaign and social work that shows original thinking, distinctive art direction, and what you personally made, from early experiments to finished work
- Have strong craft in art direction and design, with the range and curiosity to build across mediums and a strong instinct for culture and social platforms
- Are a resourceful maker who can prototype, create, and iterate independently within an established creative direction, using the tools that best bring an idea to life
- Enjoy working quickly with lean teams and evolving briefs, balancing strong craft with the judgment to know when to test, refine, or ship
- Enjoy partnering closely with copywriters, designers, and other creatives, welcome feedback, and collaborate generously with creative and cross-functional teams
