About Anthropic Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. The Creative Studio is Anthropic's in-house creative team responsible for the brand expression across Anthropic and Claude. We care about craft, making things by hand and using AI when it makes sense. The team is growing, and we're looking for people who do excellent work to join us. The stakes are real, and there's room to shape what all this becomes. About the role Anthropic is looking for a Creative leader to own the vision for the Anthropic company brand - defining how Anthropic looks, feels, and communicates in the world, with a focus on our mission, our research and safety work, and our place in the broader AI landscape. This is a rare role: one that sits at the intersection of brand strategy, editorial sensibility, and creative execution across an unusually wide range of formats and audiences. Anthropic occupies a unique position in the cultural conversation around AI - not just as a technology company, but as an organization with a genuine intellectual and moral point of view. This role is the creative steward of that position. The Anthropic brand touches everything from brand marketing campaigns, flagship events and media partnerships to long-form content, book publishing, and internal communications. The Creative Director ensures that work across all of these channels feels cohesive, distinctive, and well-crafted while also building the team that makes it possible. You'll work closely with brand marketing, communications, and editorial partners to translate Anthropic's mission and values into creative that resonates across a wide range of audiences - from policymakers and researchers to enterprise leaders and the broader public.

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. Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
