About this role
About the Team
OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. The Events team advances that mission by connecting the people building AI with the people using it to solve problems, create new things, and open up opportunities for others.
We bring developers, business leaders, customers, partners, and communities together to experience our technology firsthand and imagine what they can build with it. From global gatherings to hands-on experiences, our ambition is to inspire people to think bigger—and give them the ideas, relationships, and confidence to help shape what comes next.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Global Head of Events to lead a large, established global events and production team, with the opportunity to define what comes next.
Working with OpenAI’s executive team, you’ll set the direction for our event portfolio, focus investment on the experiences that matter most, and give the team the clarity and support to do its best work. This is a chance to build on a substantial foundation and create the experiences people will associate with OpenAI for years to come.
Your remit will span the company: flagship conferences, product launch experiences, developer gatherings, executive programs, regional events, and our presence at important industry and cultural moments. You’ll own the strategy, team, investments, and agency relationships that make that work possible. The team also leads in-house production for OpenAI’s town halls, webinar studio, and film projects.
You’ll bring creative judgment, business instincts, and a love of bringing people together. You’re entrepreneurial and deeply curious: ready to start with an open question, find a direction, and learn by making things. You can make good decisions with incomplete information, bring others along, and change course when you learn something new.
You’re also excited to use AI in your own work and help the team discover better ways to plan, create, and deliver experiences.
