Partner closely with executive leadership, product, marketing, communications, and other cross-functional teams to distill complex ideas into compelling and accessible narratives.
  • Create and evolve a library of scalable, on-brand design systems and templates for presentations used across OpenAI. Push the boundaries of storytelling through motion, animation, and interactive design elements in high-stakes presentations.
  • Ensure quality and consistency across all visual touchpoints while maintaining a fast-paced production workflow.
  • Help elevate the craft and standards of how OpenAI communicates through decks—both internally and externally.
This role is based in our San Francisco HQ. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
