About The Position

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.

Requirements

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
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
Skilled at translating complex, nuanced subject matter into creative that is both compelling and accessible to diverse audiences
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
Experience hiring and developing creative talent, and can build a strong team in a fast-moving environment
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
Comfortable working in ambiguity and can balance long-term brand vision with the demands of fast-moving, high-stakes projects
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
Comfortable engaging with technical or policy-heavy subject matter and bringing it to life creatively
