Role
Who you are
- Have 5–8 years of experience in communications or PR with experience at an AI company, research lab, or technical product company
- Are a Claude user across our apps and have a clear sense of what's working and what isn't
- Have experience supporting frontier model launches or technical product launches
- Have existing relationships with reporters and creators covering AI
- Have strong product instincts, and the judgment to read timing and tone when the conversation around AI gets noisy
- Are a clear, concise writer across formats — press materials, messaging, briefing docs
- Are highly online and fluent in where technical conversations happen, from developer forums to X to Hacker News
- Are a collaborative team player who works well with others
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
- Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
- Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
- Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices
- Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this
- We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification
What the job involves
- We're seeking a communications professional to join our team and support external storytelling for Anthropic's products
- Reporting into the Product Communications team, you'll partner closely with the product teams behind Claude, helping translate some of the most closely watched product work in AI into something people can understand and trust
- In this role, you'll help craft narratives that make Claude's capabilities accessible and meaningful to the developers and customers who use our products and the journalists and creators who write about them
- You'll own communications for feature updates end to end, and provide support on model launches, and flagship product launches
- The ideal candidate should have strong proactive and reactive instincts, genuine curiosity about the products and the technology behind them, and the judgment to handle nuanced, fast-moving topics
- You should be able to move fast, think critically, and collaborate across a wide range of technical and non-technical teams
- You should know our products well enough to hold a real point of view on them, and treat customer feedback as something to surface back to the teams who can act on it
- Own communications for feature updates and launches end to end, and provide strong support on model launches and flagship product launches
- Help surface the launches, demos, and capability stories worth telling, and support the team in finding the right channel for each
- Help develop messaging and draft the materials that carry it — press releases, talking points, FAQs, blog posts, briefing docs — translating Claude's capabilities into something a user or journalist can actually grasp
- Support relationships with the journalists, newsletter writers, podcasters, and creators shaping how people talk about AI
- Help prepare product and research leaders to be effective spokespeople
- Work across press, social, owned, and community channels, and develop a sense for which lever to pull for each moment
Our take
Funded by Google and founded by ex-OpenAI employees, Anthropic has emerged as one of the leading companies in AI, focused on building reliable and safe AI systems. Since its launch, the company has rapidly grown into a major player in the industry, with its AI assistant Claude now widely recognized as a strong competitor to ChatGPT.
Like other chatbots, Claude is accessible through a conversational interface and supports a wide range of text-generation and reasoning tasks. A key point of differentiation remains its emphasis on safety, with Anthropic's "Constitutional AI" approach aiming to produce more aligned and less harmful outputs than earlier generations of AI systems.
While Claude has received significant praise for its performance and alignment, some users have notes areas for improvement, particularly in technical domains such as complex mathematics and precision in grammar. However, with substantial backing freom major tech players and multi-billion-dollar funding rounds, Anthropic has firmly established itself as a long-term competitor in the AI space.
Now the company is continuing to refine Claude's capabilities while expanding globally, including growing its presence in Europe. And its ongoing commitment to responsible AI development put it in a position to be not just a competitor, but a key influence on the direction of the industry as a whole.
