Save Job

About The Team OpenAI didn’t begin as a traditional company. It began as an idea: that artificial intelligence could be developed in a way that benefits everyone. As a creative team, our role is to help make sure the work behind that idea is understood, as it leaves the lab and meets the world. This company works at the frontier of intelligence. Like any frontier, it’s unfinished, constantly shifting, and still being explored. Our job is to stay close to that uncertainty and help shape how this story gets told, in a way that feels grounded and human. We do this through campaigns, launches, films, brand systems, and work that doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories yet. This team is for people who want to help shape something from the beginning.

About The Role We’re looking for an experienced Copywriter to join our growing in‑house creative team. In this role, you’ll help define the voice of OpenAI at a moment when the story is still being written. You’ll concept and write across campaigns, product launches, and cultural moments, working closely with design, product, and comms from the start. To us, creativity is a team sport. Ideas get better when you talk them through and build on each other’s thinking. We value curiosity over certainty, kindness over ego, and the ability to balance craft with decisiveness.

Own narrative direction for key initiatives and creative workstreams; translate OpenAI’s products and use cases into emotionally resonant, human‑centered narratives
