Infrastructure Communications Lead

About the Team

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity.

Our Communications team includes PR/media relations, employee communications, events, social media, community, influencer relations, and other external-facing functions. We help people understand our technology, values, and approach to safely building powerful AI. Our ethos is to communicate clearly, authentically, and with purpose, always in support of our mission.

About the Role

We’re looking for a senior communications leader to shape how the world understands OpenAI’s global infrastructure platform — from compute strategy and chip development to data centers and deployment. At the center of this work is a simple truth: building trusted, global infrastructure is what allows more people, in more places, to actually access and benefit from powerful AI.

You will define how we tell the story of one of the largest AI infrastructure buildouts ever attempted — from multi-gigawatt compute expansion and chip development to data center construction and energy innovation. You will own both the high-level strategic narrative and the deep technical translation of complex engineering work into clear, credible storytelling.

In close partnership with Infrastructure, Finance, and Policy leadership, you will lead communications for major infrastructure milestones, help explain long-range compute strategy, and position OpenAI as the global leader in responsible, large-scale AI infrastructure.

This role reports to our VP of Corporate Communications and 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:

• Lead infrastructure-related communications across OpenAI

• Translate complex infrastructure and engineering work into clear, compelling messaging for media, analysts, policymakers, and public audiences

• Partner closely with Infrastructure leadership and the Finance team on strategy, milestones, and investor-relevant messaging

• Partner with Policy Communications on sovereign AI, national-scale infrastructure, and government alignment

• Prepare infrastructure leaders as spokespeople and trusted expert voices

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 12+ years of professional communications experience in infrastructure, cloud, semiconductors, energy, or large-scale technology platforms

• Deep familiarity with at least one of the following and strong working knowledge across all: compute infrastructure, chip development, data centers, or energy systems

• A strong track record of translating highly technical engineering work into credible narratives for broad audiences

• Experience owning communications for large-scale, capital-intensive, or globally significant platforms or programs

• Strong partnership instincts with engineering, finance, policy, and executive leadership

• Ability to operate with clarity and confidence in high-stakes, fast-moving, and highly visible environments

• Comfortable shaping long-range strategic narratives and executing precise milestone communications

• Strong judgment, accountability, and composure in complex and sensitive moments

• Energized by helping the world understand the real-world systems that make advanced AI possible

• Motivated by building trust in the physical foundations of transformative technology
