OpenAI's Events and Experiences team is seeking an Experiential Producer to design and deliver immersive experiences that introduce people to OpenAI's products and mission. You'll work at the intersection of product, marketing, and creative production, turning ambitious concepts into hands-on demos, global launches, cultural programs, custom installations, and brand activations.
In this role, you'll independently manage multiple concurrent projects from concept through delivery. You'll collaborate with Product, Marketing, and creative partners to develop production briefs and build plans tailored to different audiences. Working with agencies, fabricators, technical specialists, and venues, you'll solve complex production challenges—from early prototypes to finished installations—that don't have off-the-shelf solutions.
You'll own all aspects of project management: setting milestones, managing scopes, negotiating contracts, handling procurement, tracking budgets and forecasts, and keeping dependencies and approvals organized. On-site, you'll lead booth builds, technical production, and live delivery, ensuring quality, accessibility, safety, privacy, and brand standards are maintained. You'll also experiment with OpenAI's tools throughout the production process—from research and planning to vendor briefs and post-event analysis—helping the team discover better ways to work.
Success in this role requires balancing speed with rigor. You'll stay resourceful when plans change, make decisions on your feet, and keep a fast-moving team informed and supported. You'll measure success through audience response, product engagement, business results, and partner feedback, using those insights to improve future experiences and vendor standards.
The team operates with extreme speed and precision, using AI tools to rethink everything from initial planning to final guest moments. You'll bring grit, joy, humor, and creative talent to create experiences that build trust, spark possibility, and make the future feel within reach.
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 demonstrating 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
- Ability to own projects independently: set milestones, make decisions, and tackle unfamiliar problems without waiting to be asked
- Diverse network of trusted agencies and vendors, strong negotiation skills, and good judgment about when to use full-service agencies versus specialists
- Experience adapting production for different audiences, cultures, event scales, and markets while maintaining global standards
- Natural collaborator who enjoys meeting people and hearing new ideas; ability to listen with empathy and build trust across teams and partners
- Exceptional organizational skills across multiple projects, substantial budgets, and tight deadlines, with flexibility to reprioritize when plans change
- High standards for quality and willingness to get hands-on; sense of humor and ability to not take yourself too seriously
