If you love creating memorable experiences and making operations feel effortless, you’ll feel right at home here.

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly organized, hospitality-minded Workplace Events Coordinator to help bring OpenAI’s events to life at our San Francisco headquarters. You’ll support a wide mix of programs—from weekly internal gatherings and team moments to curated customer visits and cross-functional events.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, pays attention to the details, is a superb communicator and loves creating seamless, high-impact experiences for others.

This role is fully onsite 3–5 days per week in our San Francisco offices.

In this role you will:

• Support the planning and execution of internal events, recurring programs, team moments, and customer-facing engagements.

• Own day-of logistics—room bookings and setups, catering coordination, sign-in and guest flow, décor, entertainment, supply management, and AV touchpoints.

• Partner with Workplace, Culinary, AV, Security, Executive Business Partners and other cross-functional stakeholders to keep programs aligned and well-coordinated.

• Maintain event calendars, run-of-show documents, checklists, and tooling that keep operations running smoothly.

• Provide warm, high-touch onsite hosting and troubleshoot issues in real time to ensure a smooth experience.

• Support teammates during large-scale events and high-volume days—our team succeeds because we collaborate closely.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• 3+ years of experience in events, hospitality, workplace operations, or a related field.

• Warm, polished, and comfortable interacting with guests, cross-functional partners, and employees at all levels.

• Exceptionally organized with strong attention to detail—you enjoy bringing structure and clarity to moving pieces.

• Comfortable managing multiple programs at once and tracking details across various planning stages.

• A proactive problem-solver who stays calm under pressure and enjoys rolling up your sleeves.

• Experience with tools like Google Workspace, Jira, Prism, Swoogo, or event/ops systems is a plus.

• Willingness to support occasional early-morning or evening events as needed.
