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 a San Francisco-based Content Maker to create social-first, platform-native content across OpenAI’s brand and product work. This role is for someone who can spot a good story, go capture it, and turn it into something sharp, clear, and engaging.

You’ll be hands-on across the full content process: ideating, shooting, scripting, editing, and publishing-ready execution. This could include filming behind-the-scenes moments, capturing quick interviews, making short-form videos, editing social cuts, building lightweight content series, or helping translate complex ideas into formats that feel human and easy to understand.

The right person has strong taste, moves quickly, knows how to shoot and edit, and understands how content behaves across social and digital platforms. You should be comfortable making work directly, not just directing it, and available to capture content in person in San Francisco as needed.

In this role, you will

Create social-first content across digital, editorial, and platform-native surfaces

Shoot, capture, and edit short-form video, interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and lightweight storytelling formats

Identify content opportunities in real time and move quickly to capture or create around them

Turn complex ideas, product moments, and company stories into clear, engaging content

Work hands-on across ideation, scripting, filming, editing, and execution

Develop platform-native concepts for social posts, reels, stories, creator-style content, and lightweight editorial

Partner with producers, designers, copywriters, marketers, and cross-functional teams to bring content from idea to final asset

Help shape narrative arcs across short-form and always-on content

Adapt tone, format, and pacing for different audiences and platforms

Stay close to internet culture, platform behaviors, social trends, and emerging formats to keep the work fresh and relevant

You might thrive in this role if you

Have 5+ years of relevant experience

Are based in San Francisco and available for in-person content capture as needed

Understand short-form video, social storytelling, pacing, hooks, and platform behavior

Are a true maker, comfortable shooting, editing, scripting, and building content directly

Have strong creative instincts and can quickly turn ideas into compelling content

Have experience creating content for social, digital, and platform-native environments

Know how to capture real moments and shape them into clear, engaging stories

Can balance speed, quality, and taste in a fast-moving environment

Have strong judgment around what feels culturally relevant, brand-right, and worth making

Are comfortable working independently and jumping in when there’s something to capture

Collaborate well with producers, designers, copywriters, marketers, creators, and external partners

Have a strong point of view on storytelling, internet culture, and how brands should show up in the world
