About the role

As the Public Sector Solutions Marketing Lead at Anthropic, you will be the strategic architect of our agency, federal, state, local and international government marketing efforts, positioning Claude as the trusted AI partner for policy makers, public sector knowledge workers and beyond.

This role demands someone who can set vision and strategy while being hands-on with execution—from launching product capabilities like Claude for Government and sector-specific MCP integrations, to quarterbacking demand generation campaigns that drive adoption. Working at the intersection of AI ethics, global development, and growth marketing, you'll help shape industry conversations around responsible AI deployment while driving measurable pipeline and impact results.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
