Communications Specialist, Product
AnthropicAbout 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.
About the role
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.
Responsibilities:
- 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
You may be a good fit if you:
- 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

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. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

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.
