Research Communications, Models & Frontier AI at OpenAI · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We’re looking for a hands-on communications leader to own the launch strategy and storytelling for OpenAI’s frontier AI models across ChatGPT and the API. You’ll turn advances in model capabilities into clear, compelling stories for research, developer, customer, and consumer audiences.
You’ll get into the details with researchers, engineers, and product teams to understand what has changed, what the evidence shows, and what people can do with it. That means working through evaluations, exploring model behavior, and finding concrete examples that make an advance clear without losing its limitations.
This role calls for technical curiosity and strong editorial judgment. You should be as comfortable working through an evaluation with a researcher as writing a launch blog, shaping a media strategy, or preparing a leader for an interview.
This role 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.
Lead model launches end to end across ChatGPT and the API, owning positioning, messaging, media strategy, spokesperson preparation, rollout, and follow-through.
Work with researchers, engineers, and product teams from the earliest stages of a release. Dig into capability changes, evaluations, model behavior, and limitations to identify what is new and why it matters.
Develop distinct stories for research, developer, customer, and consumer audiences, explaining the technical advance, what developers can build, how customers can apply it, and what it makes possible in everyday life.
Partner closely with the head of B2B communications to translate frontier AI advances, including changes in model cost and efficiency, into clear, evidence-backed stories about customer use cases and business value.
Find and develop compelling demonstrations, use cases, and proof points with research and product teams. Test claims against the evidence and make clear where a result does and does not generalize.
Write and edit launch blogs, messaging, FAQs, pitches, and briefings, staying close to the work from the first technical discussion through final materials.
Build trusted relationships with journalists across technology, science, business, and consumer media. Prepare researchers and leaders for substantive briefings, interviews, and public engagements.
Lead communications and editorial work on model system cards with safety researchers and safety communications colleagues, keeping evaluations, safeguards, and limitations clear and consistent with the launch.
