Art Director, Enterprise

Anthropic•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

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. We’re looking for an Art Director to help build the creative vision for how Anthropic shows up with enterprise audiences. You’ll be a hands-on creative partner working closely with our enterprise marketing team, concepting campaigns and shaping how the work shows up in the world. We need someone who’s built ideas from a brief, sold them in a room, and seen them through to production. You should be as comfortable sketching a concept on a whiteboard as you are directing a photographer on set or briefing an agency partner. Some campaigns you’ll build and ship entirely in-house; others you’ll run through external agencies, acting as the creative through-line between our team and theirs. Either way, you’re hands-on and you own the outcome. Think of this as a “swiss army knife” role: deep in campaign craft, but versatile enough to push craft anywhere the work needs you.

Requirements

Have 10+ years of experience in breakthrough B2B and B2B-adjacent campaign development — concept development, art direction, and execution — with real breadth in craft across photography, design, typography, illustration direction, and motion. You’re the go-to creative for skillfully art-directing a shoot, refining a layout, pushing a typographic detail, or building a campaign design system in Figma.
Have a portfolio with range, spanning from brand to enterprise, showing concept development, art direction, and execution across multiple channels and formats — and individual pieces of craft that hold up on their own.
Are a leader-doer. You uphold a high bar, directing with creative judgment and taste, but stay hands-on. You can set the vision and also do the work — not just direct it from a distance.
Have worked both sides of the agency relationship. You can build a campaign with your own hands, and you can steer an external team without losing the thread.
Have directed shoots and worked closely with photographers, illustrators, designers, or production teams. You know how to get the best work out of collaborators and you can step in and push the craft yourself when it needs it.
Think conceptually, with a systems mindset. You lead with ideas, but keep the big picture in mind as the brand scales.
Can move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution without losing momentum. You’re comfortable doing the work, not just directing it.
Have experience working with enterprise, B2B, and technical audiences and understand how to make that work feel anything but boring.
Are drawn to brand-building work — shaping perception, building affinity, and raising the bar for how a company shows up in the market.
Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and can manage multiple campaigns and workstreams without sacrificing quality.

Responsibilities

Concept and art direct integrated campaigns for enterprise audiences from initial brief through final production across digital, video, and print.
Direct photo and video shoots, working with directors, photographers, illustrators, animators, and production partners to bring campaigns to life.
Flex between executing work in-house and directing it through agency partners. When we go external, you’re the creative lead in the room — translating brand context, giving clear feedback, and keeping the work ours.
Develop campaign visual systems with repeatable creative frameworks that give a campaign range while keeping it recognizably ours.
Shape enterprise storytelling, finding compelling ways to turn customer outcomes and product capabilities into narratives people actually want to engage with.
Serve as a creative partner to the enterprise marketing team, bringing business goals and audience insight to life through bold creative concepts and sharp visual direction.
Ensure brand consistency and raise the bar for quality across all enterprise touchpoints.
