Get Access To All JobsAbout 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
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. We're looking for a Copy and Content Lead to own the creative narrative for Claude product launches. You'll shape narratives that connect brand storytelling with product capabilities and differentiation, partnering closely with product and brand marketing teams. This isn't a pure writing role. You should come from a copy background but think like a creative director: someone who can develop the core creative concept for a launch and work closely with design to bring it to life. You'll need genuine technical fluency with AI. Not surface-level familiarity, but the kind of depth that lets you move product storytelling beyond features and into ideas that actually resonate. The best launch creative comes from someone who understands the product well enough to find the story most compelling for our brand.
Responsibilities
- Own the creative narrative for product launches end to end, from messaging strategy and core concept, through final execution across channels and formats.
- Partner with product marketing and brand marketing to shape narratives that connect brand storytelling with product capabilities and differentiation.
- Develop core creative concepts for launches, working closely with design to bring them to life across formats.
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to build the technical depth needed to find stories that go beyond the surface.
You may be a good fit if you
- Have deep experience leading creative for product launches, from concept through execution.
- Come from a copy background and think like a creative director, developing the core idea and shaping how it comes to life visually.
- Have genuine technical fluency with AI and can translate that understanding into product storytelling that goes beyond features.
- Have experience writing and directing videos and multi-format launch content.
- Can partner effectively with product marketing and brand design teams, balancing technical accuracy with creative impact.
- Thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment and can manage competing priorities across multiple launches without losing the thread.
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary
$255,000 - $320,000 USD
Logistics
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
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. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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.

How to Get Visa Sponsorship in Content Lead
Lead with editorial results, not just responsibilities
Content Lead roles are competitive. Quantify your impact: organic traffic growth, content output at scale, or team size managed. Hiring managers need proof you've driven measurable outcomes, not just a list of tasks you've owned.
Clarify your OPT status early in outreach
Mention your OPT authorization and end date in your first message to recruiters. It removes ambiguity and shows professionalism. Employers who sponsor visas appreciate candidates who understand their own immigration timeline and communicate it clearly upfront.
Showcase cross-functional leadership experience
Content Lead roles typically require collaboration with SEO, design, and product teams. Highlight specific cross-functional projects you've led. This signals readiness for the scope of the role and differentiates you from purely executional content candidates.
Build a portfolio that demonstrates strategic thinking
Samples alone won't land a lead role. Include briefs, editorial calendars, or content strategies you've built from scratch. Employers want evidence you can set direction, not just execute assignments handed down from someone else.
Use Migrate Mate to find OPT-friendly Content Lead openings
Migrate Mate filters job listings by visa sponsorship willingness, saving you time on roles that won't work for your status. Browse Content Lead openings directly to focus your effort on employers already open to OPT candidates.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a Content Lead on OPT?
Yes, as long as the role is directly related to your field of study and meets the 20-hour weekly minimum. Content Lead positions typically qualify for F-1 students with degrees in communications, marketing, journalism, or English. Document how the role connects to your degree in case your DSO or an employer asks.
Do Content Lead roles qualify for a STEM OPT extension?
Content Lead roles generally do not qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension because the job title falls outside designated STEM fields. If your degree is in a STEM discipline and the role involves substantial data analysis or technical content strategy, consult your DSO to assess whether an extension argument is viable before assuming it applies.
How do I find Content Lead jobs where employers are open to OPT sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this. The platform surfaces Content Lead jobs from employers who are open to sponsoring work visas, so you're not wasting applications on companies that will screen you out at the authorization question. Filter by role and browse listings curated for F-1 OPT students.
What happens to my Content Lead job if my OPT expires before H-1B approval?
If your employer files an H-1B petition before your OPT expires, the cap-gap provision may extend your work authorization through September 30 of that year. Your employer needs to file by April 1 for the October 1 start date. Coordinate your OPT end date with HR early so both sides can plan around the filing window.
Do employers typically sponsor H-1B for Content Lead roles?
It depends on the employer. Larger companies with established legal departments and content functions are more likely to sponsor. Agencies and early-stage startups often won't. The Content Lead title qualifies as a specialty occupation under H-1B rules, provided the role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field, so eligibility is usually straightforward once you find a willing employer.
