ITAV Event Technical Producer

OpenAI’s IT organization supports the mission of deploying artificial general intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of all. Our team is committed to providing seamless technological support and solutions to ensure that all OpenAI employees are well-equipped and connected. This enables them to contribute effectively towards our AI research, corporate operations and product initiatives.

As an ITAV Event Technical Producer at OpenAI, you will lead technical production for complex internal and external events across multiple sites, from early planning through rehearsal and live delivery. You will partner with internal stakeholders and technical teams to translate event requirements into clear production plans. You will coordinate internal and external crews, direct large, distributed shows and coordinate cross-site handoffs, and use your technical expertise to resolve production challenges and make informed tradeoffs.

You will also build reusable production practices and AI workflows, improve how teams deliver events, and mentor peers and junior crew members.

This is a full-time, onsite role requiring five days per week in San Francisco. Travel to other OpenAI locations is required as needed for assigned events.
