Editor

About the Team

OpenAI didn’t begin as a traditional company. It began as an idea: that artificial intelligence could be developed in a way that benefits everyone. As a creative team, our role is to help make sure the work behind that idea is understood, as it leaves the lab and meets the world.

This company works at the frontier of intelligence. Like any frontier, it’s unfinished, constantly shifting, and still being explored. Our job is to stay close to that uncertainty and help shape how this story gets told, in a way that feels grounded and human. We do this through campaigns, launches, films, brand systems, and work that doesn’t fit neatly into any of those categories yet. This team is for people who want to help shape something from the beginning.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 10+ years as an accomplished editor with a portfolio of exceptional narrative, commercial, documentary, social, product, or brand work.
• Bring excellent story instincts and can find clarity, humanity, and emotional shape in complex, technical, ambiguous, or incomplete material.
• See editing as more than a finishing step: you use it to think, discover, prototype, and shape the work from the beginning.
• Understand the full post-production lifecycle, including media management, offline and online workflows, motion and graphics, sound, music, color, VFX, finishing, localization, versioning, archival, and delivery.
• Have experience building editorial operations or leading complex post-production across multiple teams, partners, markets, or regions.
• Know how to identify exceptional creative talent, build trusted relationships, and assemble the right team around a project.
• Can create scalable global systems without losing the flexibility, local nuance, experimentation, and judgment that great creative work requires.
• Are curious about new creative technologies and thoughtful about where they can meaningfully improve the process—not simply accelerate it.
• Are comfortable moving between detailed hands-on craft and broader questions of talent, tooling, operations, and organizational design.
• Collaborate generously, communicate clearly, synthesize feedback well, and remain calm and decisive under deadline pressure.
• Want to help build a modern creative studio capable of imagining, prototyping, making, and delivering meaningful work from end to end.
