Head of Anthropic Creative, Creative Studio

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.

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.

About The Role
Anthropic is looking for a Creative leader to own the vision for the Anthropic company brand — defining how Anthropic looks, feels, and communicates in the world, with a focus on our mission, our research and safety work, and our place in the broader AI landscape.

This is a rare role: one that sits at the intersection of brand strategy, editorial sensibility, and creative execution across an unusually wide range of formats and audiences. Anthropic occupies a unique position in the cultural conversation around AI — not just as a technology company, but as an organization with a genuine intellectual and moral point of view. This role is the creative steward of that position.

The Anthropic brand touches everything from brand marketing campaigns, flagship events and media partnerships to long‑form content, book publishing, and internal communications. The Creative Director ensures that work across all of these channels feels cohesive, distinctive, and well‑crafted while also building the team that makes it possible.

You’ll work closely with brand marketing, communications, and editorial partners to translate Anthropic's mission and values into creative that resonates across a wide range of audiences — from policymakers and researchers to enterprise leaders and the broader public. You bring both a strong visual and verbal sensibility, and understand that at Anthropic, design and language are inseparable.

Responsibilities

Define and evolve the creative vision for the Anthropic brand, ensuring consistency and coherence across all touchpoints — from campaigns and events to publishing and digital experiences

Set and elevate the creative bar for the team, providing direction and feedback that pushes the quality and distinctiveness of everything we produce

Lead creative strategy and execution for high‑profile brand initiatives, including brand campaigns, flagship events, media and publication partnerships, thought leadership campaigns, and brand development work

Develop brand positioning, messaging frameworks, and visual identity recommendations in collaboration with brand marketing and communications leadership

Partner closely with communications, editorial, and publishing teams to ensure creative work supports and amplifies Anthropic's voice across blogs, books, newsletters, and other content

Collaborate with events leadership and creative team to shape the creative experience at Anthropic's marquee events, including identity, branded environments, and on‑site materials

Build and grow the Anthropic brand creative team, hiring for and developing talent across design, copywriting, and other disciplines as the team scales

Manage relationships with external creative partners and agencies where appropriate, maintaining high standards and brand alignment across all work

Work cross‑functionally with teams across the organization — including brand marketing, enterprise marketing, research, policy, and product — to ensure the Anthropic brand creative output serves a broad range of internal and external goals

You may be a good fit if you

Have 15+ years of experience in creative leadership, with a track record of building or shaping a brand from the ground up — ideally at a technology company, media organization, editorial outlet, or agency operating at the intersection of ideas and culture

Have a strong portfolio demonstrating creative vision, strategic thinking, and the ability to work across a wide range of formats — including brand foundational work, events, campaigns, digital experiences, long‑form content and book design

Are skilled at translating complex, nuanced subject matter into creative that is both compelling and accessible to diverse audiences

Bring genuine editorial sensibility: you read widely, you care about how ideas are expressed in language, and you understand what distinguishes a beautifully made publication from a merely professional one

Have experience hiring and developing creative talent, and can build a strong team in a fast‑moving environment

Are fluent in both visual and verbal creative — you can art direct and you can edit, and you know when the two are the same thing

Are comfortable working in ambiguity and can balance long‑term brand vision with the demands of fast‑moving, high‑stakes projects

Are an excellent collaborator who can work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders — from creative teams to communications, policy, and senior leadership

Care deeply about the societal implications of AI and are excited by the opportunity to help communicate Anthropic's mission and work to the world

Are comfortable engaging with technical or policy‑heavy subject matter and bringing it to life creatively
