B2B Comms Lead, EMEA

About the Team

OpenAI’s Communications team is responsible for helping people understand our technology, our mission, and the impact AI can have when deployed safely and responsibly. Across EMEA, we work closely with business, start-up, developer, product, marketing, global affairs, and policy teams to tell clear, credible stories about how OpenAI is helping organisations build, scale, and solve meaningful problems.

The EMEA B2B Communications team is small, fast-moving, and highly cross-functional. We support some of OpenAI’s most important external audiences, including enterprises, founders, developers, technical communities, journalists, creators, and policymakers. Our work spans proactive storytelling, media relations, executive communications, launches, events, case studies, and campaigns that build awareness, understanding, and trust.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have substantial senior communications experience in-house or at an agency, with a strong track record in B2B technology, enterprise, advertising and business communications.
• Have experience leading regional or international communications programmes within global organisations and complex operating environments.
• Have excellent media relations instincts and established relationships with business and technology journalists across the UK, Europe and MENA.
• Have exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to turn complex technical concepts into clear, accurate and engaging business narratives.
• Have a record of developing proactive campaigns and customer stories that deliver measurable communications and business impact.
• Demonstrate strong executive counsel and issues-management judgment, including the ability to operate calmly and make good decisions at pace.
• Have demonstrated success working cross-functionally with teams such as GTM, marketing, product, legal, global affairs and local market teams.
• Have experience managing agency partners, budgets and teams, with strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise across competing demands.
• Have deep curiosity about AI and its impact on businesses and society; familiarity with enterprise software, emerging technology or the AI landscape is a plus.
• Bring a highly collaborative, pragmatic and hands-on approach, with the confidence to lead strategically and step into execution when needed.
