Events Manager, Communications

About the Team

The OpenAI Internal Communications team, a function of the larger Communications team, strives to engage and motivate employees by creating initiatives that align with OpenAI’s values, mission, milestones and goals – and finding authentic ways to keep employees connected. The team is also responsible for developing programs that foster diversity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility efforts, and feedback and recognition.

About the Role

We are looking for a creative-minded Events Manager to join OpenAI’s growing Internal Communications team to build, manage and execute internal and external events. This includes large-scale off-site events, quarterly high-touch recruiting and community events, employee resource groups, conferences and other team- or product-specific celebrations – both locally and around the world. 

As an Events Manager, you will work with the Internal Communications Manager to oversee the administrative, organizational and logistic processes that ensure OpenAI events match the high level of performance we expect from our products like ChatGPT and DALL-E 2– including creating unique, creative and unforgettable experiences for our employees, future candidates and community members. 

We’re looking for someone who shares our love for technology and how it can positively impact humanity. You should exhibit exceptional organizational skills, operate with a deep level of attention to detail, and value the power of collaboration. You should also display creative problem-solving abilities, a curiosity to learn, and promote healthy feedback. You’ll also integrate into an exciting culture oriented around pushing boundaries, striving for excellence, thinking outside the box, and bringing authentic personality into the work we do every day. 

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Manage unique and high-touch events from end to end, setting individual event goals, budget caps, logistics and longer-term strategy. 
• Secure vendors for events, from researching potential partners to managing the detailed workflow of contracts in order to meet event deadlines. 
• Organize attendee information for both internal and external guests, create processes for employees to register for events and select their travel preferences or required accommodations.
• Ensure external guests have an excellent first impression of OpenAI through event communications and visual designs. 
• Oversee cross-functional teams across OpenAI to execute and iterate on events.
• Manage post-event follow up, including gathering feedback and evaluating the event's success. 

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 5+ years of experience in employee engagement, communication, marketing or other related fields.
• Have experience executing multi-faceted small- and large-scale events on strict timelines.
• Are excited about strengthening an existing internal culture through events.
• Possess a deep interest in artificial intelligence.
