Marketing Manager, Keynote & Mainstage Narrative

About the Team

The Enterprise Marketing team helps the world's largest organizations understand, adopt, and scale AI responsibly. We partner closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Solutions, Customer Success, Events, Design, Production, and executive leadership to translate OpenAI's technology into clear, credible stories for enterprise audiences.

Within Enterprise Marketing, the Content & Narrative team shapes the messaging behind OpenAI's most important field moments. We build keynote storylines, mainstage narratives, executive talk tracks, field-ready messaging, and reusable content systems that help senior audiences understand how AI creates value in practice.

About the Role

As the Marketing Manager, Keynote & Mainstage Narrative, you will shape the content behind OpenAI's most important CXO-facing field moments. This role sits at the intersection of executive storytelling, keynote development, mainstage content, field execution, design, production, and GTM strategy.

You will turn complex enterprise priorities and net-new initiatives into clear keynote arcs, mainstage narratives, and executive talk tracks that help senior audiences understand what OpenAI makes possible. You will also help the strongest content travel beyond the live moment through post-event amplification, seller-ready messaging, and enablement materials that make the story useful for field and GTM teams.

This role is based in San Francisco or New York City. 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:

• Develop keynote and mainstage narratives for CXO-facing field moments, including leadership remarks, strategic sessions, customer-facing programs, and major enterprise initiatives.

• Partner with production, design, GTM, product marketing, and field teams to create strong top-line messaging.

• Build narrative systems that can scale beyond a single moment, including keynote arcs, talk tracks, field-ready messaging, modular storylines, post-event content, and reusable enablement assets.

• Help clarify messaging for upcoming enterprise programs and launches.

• Ensure major enterprise moments have a clear audience, message hierarchy, proof points, and follow-through.

• Translate keynote and mainstage content into usable materials for field, enablement, and GTM partners.

• Partner closely with presentation design and production so the story survives execution.

• Identify which content should become reusable across field activations, customer follow-up, seller enablement, internal enablement, and future mainstage moments.

You might thrive in this role, if you:

• Have 7+ experience developing keynote content, mainstage narratives, executive remarks, strategic messaging, campaign narratives, or enterprise-facing content.

• Have a strong track record of turning ambiguous business priorities into clear audience-specific stories.

• Have partnered cross-functionally with production, design, product marketing, sales, GTM, or senior leaders.

• Can write, edit, and structure content for senior audiences.

• Have translated keynote, mainstage, or top-line narrative work into reusable assets, talk tracks, decks, post-event content, or field-facing enablement.

• Are comfortable working in fast-moving environments where priorities and inputs change.

• Bring strong editorial judgment and can simplify, cut, sequence, and pressure-test a story.
