About The Position

Anthropic is looking for a Communications Lead to own comms for Claude Code. You'll sit on the Product Communications team, working day-to-day with the Claude Code product team, developer relations, and marketing. The media landscape for developer tools doesn't look like it did five years ago. We need someone who understands both traditional press and the channels where developers form opinions. You might have come up through an in-house comms team, or you might have run launches inside product marketing, handled press from a DevRel role, or found your way to this work from somewhere adjacent. You should be a Claude Code user yourself and know the product well.

Requirements

Have 8–12 years of experience in communications, PR, or developer marketing, with meaningful time focused on technical products or developer audiences
Use Claude Code heavily and can talk specifically about how you use it in your day-to-day
Are high-agency and low-ego, with a bias to action
Write clearly and concisely, whether it's a launch post or a cross-functional update, a lot of context moves through this role and people need to be able to follow it
Have a deep understanding of both traditional media channels and the emerging platforms where technical communities engage
Are very online, follow the right people, know what's moving through Hacker News and developer social chatter, and catch things early
Have real fluency in developer culture and know how trust gets earned there

Nice To Haves

Have experience at developer tools companies, infrastructure products, or open source projects
Have an existing network in developer media, technical journalism, or the creator space
Have experience managing communications for AI or ML products

Lead cross-functional product launch communications, coordinating messaging across comms, marketing, developer relations, and product
Advise leadership and DevRel when things move fast or catch fire, whether it’s an incident or a community thread
Translate complex technical work into stories that land with developers and still make sense to broader audiences
Develop messaging frameworks and content strategies that work across technical and non-technical audiences
Prepare Claude Code engineers and product leads for external moments: podcasts, talks, press, etc.
Think across channels (press, social, community, owned) and know which lever to pull for each moment
