Head of Infrastructure Communications
About The Position
OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. Our Communications team includes PR/media relations, employee communications, events, social media, community, influencer relations, and other external-facing functions. We help people understand our technology, values, and approach to safely building powerful AI. Our ethos is to communicate clearly, authentically, and with purpose, always in support of our mission. We’re looking for a senior communications leader to shape how the world understands OpenAI’s global infrastructure platform — from compute strategy and chip development to data centers and deployment. At the center of this work is a simple truth: building trusted, global infrastructure is what allows more people, in more places, to actually access and benefit from powerful AI. You will define how we tell the story of one of the largest AI infrastructure buildouts ever attempted — from multi-gigawatt compute expansion and chip development to data center construction and energy innovation. You will own both the high-level strategic narrative and the deep technical translation of complex engineering work into clear, credible storytelling. In close partnership with Infrastructure, Finance, and Policy leadership, you will lead communications for major infrastructure milestones, help explain long-range compute strategy, and position OpenAI as the global leader in responsible, large-scale AI infrastructure. This role reports to our VP of Corporate Communications and is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
