Head of Experiential Creative
Anthropic, New York, NY, United States
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 The Creative Studio is Anthropic’s in‑house creative team responsible for 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 Head of Experiential Creative to build and lead event design and brand experiences at Anthropic. You'll define how Anthropic shows up in physical spaces, from trade shows and conferences to brand partnerships and activations. This person should be deeply immersed in AI, not to follow what others in the industry are doing, but to find the most authentic ways to bring our brand and product to life. We want someone who will push against industry convention and bring genuine craft and point of view to every experience.
This is a building‑phase role. You'll be scaling up the experiential creative function, which means you'll own projects end to end, from strategy and concepting through production and on‑site execution. You should have deep experience leading creative teams and partnering with agencies, but for now, you need to be as comfortable doing the work as you are directing it.
Responsibilities
Own brand experiences end to end — from initial concept through design development, production, and on‑site delivery — pushing beyond industry convention while staying authentic to Anthropic's mission and products.
Scale and lead the experiential creative function, refining and evolving strategy, team structure, processes, and creative standards.
Establish creative principles and frameworks that extend into physical design and concept development.
Lead and grow a team of designers and creative professionals, while mentoring and setting a high bar for craft.
Partner with agencies and vendors to scale experiential programs, maintaining creative quality and brand integrity.
Collaborate across the organization (marketing, product, sales, and leadership) to align experiential work with business and brand objectives.
Develop relationships with partner brands and collaborators that create meaningful, elevated experiences.
Who Might Be a Good Fit
Have 12+ years of experience building and leading experiential creative programs, with a portfolio that shows brand partnerships, activations, events, and trade show design.
Have stood up a function or team from scratch and know what it takes to lay the foundation while simultaneously delivering high‑quality work.
Be deeply knowledgeable about AI and can use that knowledge to conceptualize experiences that authentically represent Anthropic’s products and mission.
Have significant leadership experience managing and mentoring creative teams.
Bring an elevated sense of craft and a belief that brand experiences should be meaningful, not just functional.
Be comfortable operating at every level from pitching the vision to leadership to building out the deck or directing the install. You don't view hands‑on work as beneath the role.
Compensation Annual Salary: $385,000—$460,000 USD
Logistics
Educational requirements: a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location‑based hybrid policy: We expect staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time, with some roles requiring more on‑site presence.
Visa sponsorship: We sponsor visas where possible. If we make you an offer, we will make reasonable efforts and retain an immigration lawyer to help.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. We strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us. To protect you from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. If unsure about a communication, do not click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed positions.
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. 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, hosting frequent research discussions to ensure we pursue the highest‑impact work.
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.
