Motion Designer

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 surethe 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.

Motion design helps define how OpenAI communicates—across campaigns, launches, and ongoing storytelling. As a Motion Designer, you will create motion work that supports our marketing and communications efforts, helping people understand and connect with our products, research, and mission.

This is a hands‑on role focused on craft and execution. You’ll work closely with designers, writers, producers, and marketing partners to deliver motion that is clear, thoughtful, and consistent with OpenAI’s brand.

To us, creativity is a team sport. Ideas get better when you talk them through and build on each other’s thinking. We value curiosity over certainty, kindness over ego, and the ability to balance craft with decisiveness.
