Social Media Manager, Developers

About the Team

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that general-purpose artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. We believe our research will eventually lead to artificial general intelligence, a system that can solve human-level problems.

Our Communications team includes PR/Media Relations, Internal Communications, Events, Design, Community & Social, and other strategic comms functions. This team’s ethos is to support OpenAI's mission and goals by clearly and authentically explaining our technology, values, and approach to safely building powerful AI.

About the Role

As Social Media Manager, Developers, you will own OpenAI’s developer social strategy and execution. You will turn model releases, API platform updates, and Codex improvements into crisp, technically accurate content that drives launch-day excitement and clarity, then sustained awareness of our developer offerings. You will partner across Comms, Product, Engineering, Design, and Go-to-Market to plan calendars, craft narratives, and measure impact.

This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of three days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.

In this role, you will:

• Own @OpenAIDevs on X end-to-end: strategy, calendar, publishing, replies, and measurement.

• Expand our footprint to more social channels (e.g. Reddit), and scale our reach internationally.

• Announce new products (from new models to new buttons) by turning specs and changelogs into high-signal posts, threads, and short videos that resonate with our developer audience.

• Partner with PM/Eng/Marketing to develop channel-specific launch strategies that cut through noise.

• Manage launch and real-time content around milestones, changelogs, incidents, and follow-ups with tight approvals.

• Create visuals with Design and ship lightweight demos that show usage, limits, and best practices.

• Track reach, engagement, sentiment, CTR, and share-of-voice; report insights to Product and Comms to inform roadmaps.

• Establish tone, guardrails, and QA for technical accuracy and consistent style.

We're seeking someone with experience including:

• Has 5+ years in developer-facing social, technical marketing, or devrel content.

• Writes clearly at the code and product layers; you can read API docs and verify claims.

• Has shipped content for fast, high-stakes launches with precise timing and approvals.

• Operates fluently with PM, Eng, Research, Legal, and Comms; strong editorial judgment.

• Knows platform mechanics on X and emerging channels; test, measure, iterate.

• Is motivated by OpenAI’s mission and excited to help developers build with AI.
