Research Product Marketing Manager

As a Research Product Marketing Manager at OpenAI, you will help translate OpenAI's research into accurate positioning, compelling demonstrations, and launch narratives.

You will work closely with researchers and product teams to understand new capabilities, the evidence behind them, and their limitations, then explain why they matter to the audiences we want to reach.

Responsibilities:

• Develop positioning and messaging for research capabilities and releases, grounding claims in evidence and clearly distinguishing demonstrated results from possible applications.
• Partner with researchers and product leads to understand how capabilities work, where they are useful, and what limitations or caveats audiences need to know.
• Define priority audiences and questions for each initiative. Use research, feedback, and usage signals to identify barriers to understanding and opportunities for useful adoption.
• Build launch briefs that connect the research story, audience needs, communications goals, and the work required from cross-functional partners.
• Work with Creative, Design, and technical collaborators on demonstrations, examples, and educational content that make complex ideas understandable without overstating performance.
• Coordinate messaging and launch materials with Research, Product, Communications, and other relevant review partners, keeping descriptions consistent as plans change.
• Turn audience feedback and launch results into recommendations for clearer explanations, stronger examples, and sustained education beyond the initial announcement.
• Establish measures of audience understanding, engagement, and adoption with analytical partners, and communicate findings with appropriate limits and practical next steps.

Requirements:

• Experience in product marketing or a related role bringing technical products, research, or emerging capabilities to market.
• Ability to learn unfamiliar technical concepts, ask useful questions of subject-matter experts, and translate their answers for audiences with different levels of expertise.
• Clear writing skills for positioning, briefs, and launch materials that make a persuasive case while preserving technical accuracy and necessary nuance.
• Experience taking cross-functional launches or educational programs from an ambiguous brief through delivery and measurement.
• Ability to use qualitative research and quantitative signals to shape messaging and priorities rather than relying on assumptions about what audiences need.
• Ability to build productive relationships with research, product, creative, and communications partners, and can align contributors without formal authority.
• Sound judgment with confidential work, evolving results, and shifting timelines. Experience with AI products or research-led organizations is valuable.
