About the Team OpenAI is a frontier AI research and deployment company. Frontier research is at the center of how we advance our mission, with researchers, engineers, product leaders, operators, and many other teams working together to turn new capabilities into systems that benefit humanity. The People team helps OpenAI attract, engage, and support the exceptional talent this work requires. Employer Brand sits at the intersection of Research, Recruiting, Communications, Marketing, and Brand. Its mandate is to continue to establish OpenAI in the talent market as the unique and leading frontier research lab—not simply another technology company—and make our distinctive research environment, mission, culture, and opportunity for impact relevant and tangible to every priority talent audience. About the Role We’re hiring an Employer Brand Manager to build and scale the strategy, narrative, and operating system that shape how priority talent understands OpenAI. This senior individual contributor will anchor our employer brand in OpenAI’s identity as a frontier research lab and translate an evidence-backed “why OpenAI / why now” narrative into campaigns, researcher and employee stories, recruiter and hiring manager enablement, and candidate experiences. This role is especially important as OpenAI competes for exceptional talent across research, engineering, product, and other mission-critical functions in a fast-moving field where external perceptions can be incomplete or change quickly. You will develop a clear, credible talent narrative for priority audiences—anchored in frontier research and substantiated by individual agency, world-class infrastructure, research-to-product translation, deployment scale, and a willingness to answer hard questions candidly. This role is responsible for ensuring the external brand resembles our culture and ethos internally, therefore must remain immersed in various OpenAI research and applied branches. This role is based in San Francisco
