Strategy and Messaging Communications Lead, Narrative
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 We're seeking an experienced communications strategist to join Anthropic's team as we advance the frontier of AI safety and capabilities. This role will develop comprehensive narratives and messaging frameworks that elucidate the power of Claude and Anthropic’s unique place in the AI industry.
The ideal candidate thrives in fast-moving environments, is flexible in ambiguity, is an excellent writer, and can synthesize complex information (such as technical specs or policy details) into clear and compelling messaging. They excel at working cross-functionally to develop resonant stories that drive adoption of Claude and bolster Anthropic’s corporate reputation.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop comprehensive messaging frameworks and narrative architectures across product, policy, and corporate initiatives that differentiate Anthropic and drive market understanding of Claude's capabilities
Work with colleagues to develop the core narratives and messages for major company moments—model launches, executive communications, industry positioning—translating technical capabilities and policy stances into compelling, accessible stories
Write high-impact content including executive talk tracks, blog posts, op-eds, and briefing materials that synthesize complex information into clear, resonant narratives
Build cross-functional storytelling alignment, ensuring consistent narrative threads across earned, owned, and paid channels while maintaining flexibility for diverse audiences
Distill research, competitive intelligence, and technical specifications into actionable messaging guidance and compelling proof points that support Anthropic's strategic positioning
Partner with product, research, policy, and GTM teams to surface customer stories, technical breakthroughs, and business momentum metrics that bring our narratives to life
What You'll Bring :
Exceptional writing ability across formats, from executive speeches to technical blog posts to campaign messaging
Strategic communications experience in technology, political campaigns, or mission-driven organizations, with expertise translating complex technical or policy topics for diverse audiences
Strong synthesis skills with ability to rapidly absorb technical specifications, research findings, and competitive intelligence, then distill into clear narrative frameworks
Cross-functional collaboration experience working with product, research, and executive teams to develop cohesive storytelling strategies under tight deadlines
Sharp editorial judgment with ability to balance technical accuracy, emotional resonance, and strategic positioning while maintaining authentic voice
Comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving environments where priorities shift based on market dynamics, product developments, and competitive landscape
Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with AI or experience in deep tech sector communications
Background writing content for C-level executives or other high-visibility stakeholders
Track record developing messaging that spans diverse audiences
Experience in narrative-driven campaigns (political, advocacy, or corporate)
The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
$255,000 - $255,000 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.
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.
