  • Translate complex AI products, technical capabilities, customer use cases, and market shifts into creative work that business and technical audiences can understand and remember.
  • Partner with Product Marketing, Communications, Events, Field, Sales, Partnerships, Product, Research, and Consumer Brand to create connected narratives and experiences.
  • Set the creative bar across writing, design, storytelling, film, experiential, digital, and presentation work.
  • Lead major creative initiatives from strategy through execution, making sure the work stays sharp as business priorities, stakeholder input, and timing change.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of writers, designers, creative directors, producers, strategists, agencies, and production partners.
  • Bring AI deeply into the creative process, from concepting and prototyping to production, testing, localization, and team operations.
  • Serve as a creative advisor to senior leadership on how OpenAI Business shows up with customers, partners, employees, and the broader market.
  • Balance long-term brand building with near-term business needs across awareness, trust, adoption, engagement, and revenue impact.

You Might Thrive in This Role if You Have
  • 15+ years of experience leading brand, creative, or multidisciplinary marketing teams, with significant senior leadership experience.
  • A strong portfolio of work across brand platforms, campaigns, product storytelling, customer marketing, events, digital experiences, and executive communications.
  • Experience building brands for complex technology, AI, cloud, developer, infrastructure, or category-shaping companies.
  • Strong creative taste and the ability to make technical ideas feel clear, useful, and human.
  • Experience building creative teams, systems, planning rhythms, agency models, and production approaches that raise the quality of work at scale.
  • The ability to operate as both a creative leader and a business partner, with strong judgment around prioritization, tradeoffs, and impact.
  • Experience partnering with product, research, sales, marketing, communications, and executive teams.
  • A track record of turning customer proof, product truth, and market insight into work that earns attention and builds belief.
  • Real fluency with AI tools and workflows, with clear examples of how you use them to improve creative quality, speed, experimentation, or team output.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to lead through influence in a fast-moving, high-visibility environment.
