About the Team
The Events and Experiences team at OpenAI is responsible for bringing people together around OpenAI's mission – building artificial general intelligence that benefits all of humanity. The team creates experiences that build trust, spark possibility, and make the future feel within reach and exciting.
About the Role
We're looking for an Experiential Producer to put OpenAI's latest technology in people's hands. You will produce experiences where people discover something they didn't know they could do with our products, whether they're trying ChatGPT for the first time or building with our newest developer tools. From intimate demos to global launches, cultural programs, large-scale events, booths, and brand installations, you will help shape how people experience OpenAI around the world.
Responsibilities
- Produce experiences that introduce people to OpenAI's newest products, from global launches and hands-on demos to custom installations around the world.
- Work with Product, Marketing, and creative teams on what's coming next, turning ambitious concepts into production briefs and build plans for different audiences.
- Bring together agencies, fabricators, technical specialists, and venues to solve builds that don't have an off-the-shelf answer, from early prototypes to finished experiences.
- Independently run several projects at once. Set milestones and own scopes, bids, negotiations, contracts, procurement, budgets, and forecasts while keeping deadlines, dependencies, and approvals organized.
- Lead booth builds, technical production, and live delivery, from product integrations and AV to show calls. Protect quality, accessibility, safety, privacy, and brand standards.
- Keep a fast-moving team informed and supported. Celebrate wins, share progress and hurdles without prompting, and take on unfamiliar problems as plans change.
- Experiment with OpenAI tools throughout production, from research and planning to vendor briefs, project updates, and post-event analysis. Help the team find better ways to work.
- Set success measures and use audience response, product engagement, business results, and partner feedback to improve future experiences, reusable production tools, and vendor standards.
Requirements
- 8+ years producing experiential programs, brand activations, launches, installations, exhibitions, or live events, ideally for technology or complex products.
- Deep experience producing booths and custom builds, with a portfolio showing sound design judgment, practical problem-solving, and careful execution.
- Experience working with Product, Engineering, or technical teams, and genuine curiosity about how OpenAI's products work.
- The initiative to own projects independently: set milestones, make decisions, and tackle unfamiliar problems without waiting to be asked.
- A diverse network of trusted agencies and vendors, strong negotiation skills, and good judgment about when to use a full-service agency or a specialist.
- Experience adapting production for different audiences, cultures, event scales, and markets while keeping global standards consistent.
- A natural collaborator who enjoys meeting people and hearing new ideas. You listen with empathy and build trust across teams and partners.
- Exceptional organization across multiple projects, substantial budgets, and tight deadlines, with the flexibility to reprioritize when plans change.
- High standards for quality and a willingness to get hands-on. You bring a sense of humor and don't take yourself too seriously.
