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 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 are looking for a Motion Designer to help define and evolve our brand expression through movement and animation.

Brand Design is a horizontal function that touches every part of how Anthropic and Claude come to life visually, from company identity to product brand and everything in between across mediums. The team introduces what's new and what's next, creating breakthrough creative work that sets the quality bar and then building the systems that let those ideas scale.
