Brand Designer, Events

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.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced brand designer to help craft memorable visual experiences across events, live streams and global product announcements. You will create cohesive visual narratives for the overarching identity that will touch keynote presentations, large‑format screens, streaming overlays, spatial and merchandise. This role demands a blend of strategic thinking, hands on design craft and collaboration with the brands, marketing, events, motion and production teams.

What you'll do in this role:

• From concept to completion. Produce signage, wall vinyls, wayfinding, apparel, stickers, and other on‑site graphics that set the atmosphere and communicate the purpose of the event. Leverage consistent logos, fonts and textures to deliver a cohesive brand experience.

• Develop visual motion systems for live streaming. Design overlays, lower‑thirds, titles and other graphic elements that define the look and feel that will cross all digital programming.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams. Partner with motion, video, producers, artists and event planners to develop. Work closely with marketing, product and event teams to ensure designs align with our brand language.

• Maintain and evolve brand systems. Work within established brand guidelines while refining and expanding them for new frontiers. Document design systems and share learning to enable consistency across the entire ecosystem.

• Create and manage design timelines. Own and coordinate project schedules, ensuring milestones are met and teams stay aligned through the entire lifecycle of event design.

• Scaling Global Events: Scale global events by building and leading a bench of exceptional designers, while fostering an environment that attracts, develops, and retains high-value talent.

You might thrive in this role if you:

• Have 4+ years of experience designing for events—from signage, staging, and wayfinding to digital graphics, live-stream motion, and environmental branding.

• Have a portfolio that demonstrates strength across event design touchpoints, including motion, typography, physical builds, apparel, and digital production assets.

• Are adept at creating cohesive brand systems across physical and digital environments, ensuring consistency of logos, type, color, and motion in live experiences.

• Enjoy collaborating with producers, event planners, motion designers, and marketers to translate brand identity into immersive, real-world experiences.

• Balance creative vision with practical execution, delivering designs that are visually compelling, scalable, and production-ready.

• Are comfortable working on high-visibility, time-sensitive projects, managing multiple deadlines while maintaining craft quality from concept through final production.

• Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, adapting quickly as event plans evolve.

• Appreciate the unique impact of live experiences in shaping how a global audience connects with OpenAI’s mission and technology.

• Are detail-oriented and passionate about ensuring every touchpoint—signage, motion, print, digital—feels intentional and cohesive.

• Help foster a culture of design excellence, mentoring other designers and setting standards for event design at scale.
