OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.
Our Communications team’s ethos is to support OpenAI’s mission and goals by clearly and authentically explaining our technology, values, and approach to safely building powerful AI.
OpenAI is seeking an experienced communications professional to join our Platform & Research Communications team. This role will work closely with the Research Communications Lead and partner deeply with safety researchers, alignment researchers, and cross-functional teams to shape how OpenAI’s safety research is understood by researchers, journalists, policymakers, and the broader public.
This position is responsible for developing and executing external communications strategies around OpenAI’s safety research—from alignment and evaluations to broader work that helps advance the safe development and deployment of increasingly capable AI systems. The ideal candidate brings strong science or technical fluency, excellent storytelling instincts, and experience helping researchers communicate complex work with clarity, accuracy, and nuance.
You will partner closely with research leadership, individual researchers, policy, product, safety, legal, and cross-functional communications teams. This role requires both strategic judgment and hands-on execution in a fast-moving environment where research, public understanding, and high-stakes safety narratives intersect.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA and follows a hybrid schedule (three days per week in office). Relocation assistance is available.
Develop clear, credible external narratives around OpenAI’s safety research, including alignment, evaluations, preparedness, interpretability, and other areas connected to the safe development of frontier AI.
Translate complex technical work into accessible stories without oversimplifying, overstating impact, or creating unnecessary alarm.
Help define and reinforce OpenAI’s POV on key safety research topics and how they connect to OpenAI’s broader research roadmap and mission.
Work directly with safety and alignment researchers to understand their work, identify the most important ideas, and help position those ideas publicly.
Serve as a communications thought partner to researchers—helping them anticipate questions, clarify implications, and communicate with precision.
Build communications plans that help researchers share their work through the right channels, at the right level of depth, and with the right context.
Develop proactive storytelling opportunities across blogs, explainers, video, podcasts, events, and other channels beyond traditional media.
Help identify creative ways to elevate safety research and make the work more legible to expert and non-expert audiences.
Look across the safety research portfolio to identify broader themes, narrative opportunities, and moments where OpenAI can contribute meaningfully to public understanding.
Partner with research teams to plan communications for major papers, evaluations, model-related research, safety initiatives, and other technical publications.
Collaborate with editorial, design, social, policy, and research teams on blogs, explainers, visuals, briefing materials, and supporting content.
Ensure launches are grounded in evidence, appropriately scoped, and aligned with OpenAI’s safety, policy, and communications priorities.
Lead Research-Focused Media Engagement.
Build and maintain trusted relationships with science, technology, AI, and business journalists who cover frontier AI and safety research.
Manage proactive and reactive media engagement related to safety research announcements, papers, collaborations, and emerging narratives.
Prepare researchers and executives for interviews, briefings, events, and public appearances.
Work closely with Product, Policy, Safety, Legal, Marketing, and other Communications teams to align safety research communications with broader company goals.
Partner with teams managing crisis and reactive safety communications to ensure clear coordination, while maintaining focus on proactive research storytelling.
Help build a stronger communications muscle around safety research across the organization.
Identify potential reputational, scientific, policy, or misinterpretation risks early.
Develop mitigation strategies, Q&A, messaging guidance, and briefing materials for sensitive or high-profile safety research topics.
Help ensure OpenAI communicates responsibly about frontier capabilities, limitations, uncertainty, and the role of ongoing safety research.
7+ years of experience in research, science, technology, or safety-related communications.
Demonstrated experience working directly with scientists, engineers, researchers, or technical leaders.
Strong understanding of AI, machine learning, safety research, alignment, or adjacent technical domains.
Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to adapt tone for expert and general audiences.
Strong judgment handling complex, ambiguous, or high-stakes narratives.
Experience developing proactive storytelling strategies across multiple channels, including blogs, media, video, podcasts, events, or long-form content.
Experience managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
