Communications Lead Jobs in San Francisco, CA

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.

About The Role

Anthropic is looking for an Enterprise Communications Lead. This is a central role in how Anthropic shows up with enterprise customers, partners, and buyers. The role spans the full breadth of enterprise communications: product launches translated for business audiences, vertical narratives and launches for industries like financial services and healthcare, partnership and customer announcements, executive thought leadership, competitive positioning, and content that speaks to CIOs, CFOs, and CISOs — and reaches the millions of business users who rely on Claude every day. This team moves fast, and you'll juggle several projects at once, often with overlapping timelines. You're a strong project manager, a self-starter, and a real cross-functional partner — as comfortable building repeatable playbooks as you are running launches. You'll work across multiple enterprise communications disciplines (product, vertical, partner, customer, and executive), drawing on an understanding of how large organizations evaluate technology and a background that mixes product and enterprise communications.

Key Responsibilities

- Product and launch communications. Shape how model and product launches land with business buyers — not just developers — by turning technical capabilities into something a CIO or CFO can act on
- Partnership and customer storytelling. Run partnership and customer announcements end to end, and build a library of proof points sales and marketing can use across channels
- Vertical and industry communications. Craft the story for priority industries like financial services and healthcare, and own the execution for big moments like Industry Days and The Briefing series
- Executive thought leadership. Help Anthropic's commercial and product leaders show up well — in media interviews, on stage, and on social — with a voice that's distinct from the executives already out there
- Competitive positioning. Watch the competitive landscape, write messaging that draws a clear contrast, and give spokespeople and go-to-market teams the words and proof points to hold the line on Anthropic's enterprise position
- Write across formats, including blog posts, briefing documents, bylines, and social media
- Prepare executives for media interviews and speaking engagements
- Build relationships with the top enterprise technology, business, and industry reporters
- Work closely with sales, partnerships, product marketing, and international teams to tell stories with broad influence
- Build playbooks that let a small team punch above its weight

Minimum Qualifications

- Strong writing skills across formats, including blog posts, briefing documents, bylines, and social
- Experience in enterprise communications across one or more disciplines such as product, partner, customer, vertical, or executive comms
- An understanding of how CIOs, CISOs, and CFOs evaluate and adopt technology, and the ability to write for them credibly
- Experience building relationships with enterprise and business press
- The ability to move between long-arc messaging work and same-day turnarounds without dropping quality
- Sharp instincts for competitive positioning, with messaging that holds up under pressure
- A habit of using AI tools in your own work to do more with less
- A genuine interest in building AI responsibly, and the ability to thrive when priorities shift

Preferred Qualifications

- 8-15+ years in enterprise communications, ideally in B2B technology or SaaS
- Experience across multiple enterprise communications disciplines (product, partner, customer, vertical, and executive)
- AI or ML product communications experience
- Existing relationships with top enterprise technology, business, and industry reporters

Annual Salary

$265,000—$295,000 USD

Logistics

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. 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.

Your safety matters to us.

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.
