The opportunity
OpenAI’s Communications team is building a new model for how communications teams work, combining strong strategic judgment and point of view, effective operating systems, and the growing capabilities of AI. We’re looking for a strategy and systems manager to help make that model real.
What you'll do
Lead strategic initiatives and special projects across Communications, taking: ambiguous opportunities, defining the problem, aligning the right people, and driving the work through implementation.
Help shape how the team sets priorities, makes decisions, and follows through: on its most important work, including launches, campaigns, reactive moments, and longer-term initiatives.
Design an AI-forward approach to project management, building systems that: keep work moving, surface risks early, and make ownership and dependencies clear.
Build operating rhythms, planning frameworks, and shared processes that: create clarity without adding unnecessary meetings, manual tracking, or layers of coordination.
Turn emerging AI capabilities into practical workflows that reduce repetitive: work, strengthen team coordination, and help people focus on the work that most benefits from their judgment.
Drive adoption of new tools and ways of working across the Communications: organization, working closely with systems builders and team leads to understand what people need and improve the experience over time.
What they're looking for
- Build strong partnerships across Communications, Marketing, Global Affairs,: Product, and other teams to connect work that spans organizations and resolve gaps in ownership or execution.
- Have 10+ years of experience, including significant experience in strategy: and operations, business operations, or program leadership, with a track record of working closely with senior leaders to drive complex cross-functional initiatives.
- Have led complex, cross-functional initiatives from an early idea or loosely: defined problem through execution and measurable results.
- Are energized by the opportunity to rethink how teams work with AI, and have: experience introducing AI tools, building AI-enabled workflows, or helping an organization adopt new ways of working.
