About The Position

We’re looking for an experienced Designer to work within our growing in-house creative team. This role will help showcase how our products are visualized and communicated across digital and real-world touchpoints. This is a senior, hands-on role for a designer with strong product instincts and exceptional visual craft. In this role, you’ll help bring to life the voice of OpenAI at a moment when the story is still being written, through new product launches. This role sits in close collaboration with agency partners. Merging the objectives and cultures of two dynamic studios is a key component of this role. 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. This role is based in our San Francisco HQ. We offer relocation assistance to new employees.
