About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the education strategy for OpenAI's product ecosystem, ensuring learning experiences connect across Codex, ChatGPT, APIs, frontier models like GPT-5.5, enterprise surfaces, and future launches.
Build and manage an education roadmap that prioritizes what gets taught, for whom, when, and through which formats across launches and evergreen learning.
Create scalable educational programs, demos, curricula, workshops, launch materials, and interactive experiences that help audiences understand frontier AI capabilities.
Design learning journeys for broad audiences, including developers, product teams, business leaders, creators, researchers, students, educators, startups, and enterprise customers.
Partner with product, research, engineering, go-to-market, communications, and community teams to ensure major launches ship with clear educational framing, practical examples, and paths from first exposure to successful adoption.
Experiment with new formats for education, including in-product learning, interactive web experiences, hands-on labs, video, live teaching, community programs, and AI-native tutorials.
Use OpenAI's own products as teaching surfaces, creating examples where people learn by building, exploring, prompting, coding, analyzing, or automating real workflows.
Establish feedback loops, content audits, and quality bars so learning materials stay current as models, APIs, product surfaces, and deprecations evolve.
Define and track success metrics that reflect real understanding, activation, adoption, and durable AI fluency rather than only reach or impressions.

Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years of experience in developer education, product education, developer relations, technical content strategy, product marketing, instructional design, or a related field.
Experience owning education, developer experience, or content strategy roadmaps end to end, including how work is prioritized, shipped, maintained, and measured.
A track record of making complex technical or scientific ideas feel clear, exciting, and actionable for broad audiences.
Deep product intuition and strong judgment about how people adopt new tools, form mental models, and change workflows.
Enough technical fluency to use new AI tools deeply, prototype with them when useful, and partner credibly with product and engineering teams.
Experience building educational programs or content systems that scale across channels, launches, audiences, and levels of technical depth.
Ability to work across technical and non-technical stakeholders, synthesize ambiguous inputs, and turn early product direction into crisp learning experiences.
Comfort operating in fast-moving environments where the technology, audience needs, and product surface are changing quickly.
High taste for demos, examples, and teaching moments that make abstract capabilities tangible.
Strong writing, storytelling, editing, and facilitation skills across written, live, video, interactive, and AI-native formats.
A builder mindset, high agency, and a bias toward experimenting with new educational formats rather than defaulting to traditional documentation.
Genuine excitement about helping people at the frontier of AI learn what is newly possible across OpenAI's products.
