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
We’re hiring a policy communications lead to help drive messaging development and communications strategies on our security, privacy and responsible scaling programs. In this role, you will focus on crafting messaging and identifying creative opportunities to tell stories about Anthropic’s work to develop safe and secure Al systems.
You will work with the security, policy, legal, product and research teams to educate press, policymakers and the general public about our approach to security and data privacy, as well as our work to uphold and iterate on our Responsible Scaling Policy governance framework. This role will also develop communications strategies that fuel a steady drumbeat of owned and earned content. The ideal candidate can cut through jargon and boil down security and technical topics for a broad audience, is an experienced issues handler, and has a proven track record of telling stories about complex security topics in creative ways while maintaining accuracy. They should be able to move fast, think critically, and work collaboratively among cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute proactive communications strategies that explain Anthropic’s approach to security, data privacy and responsible scaling when developing AI models
- Work closely with executives on the security team to develop thought leadership plans, craft talking points, and identify meaningful speaking opportunities and podcasts where we can discuss Anthropic’s approach to security and how Claude can help bolster enterprises’ security operations
- Manage executive interviews and speaking engagements
- Partner cross-functionally with the security, legal, policy, research and product teams to prepare for major company announcements and handle inbound media requests, including reactive communications on security issues
- Build strong relationships with security and tech policy journalists and relevant influencers
- Write company blog posts and other communications materials
- Work with agencies to drive communications goals
You may be a good fit if you:
- Have 10+ years in communications at high-growth tech companies
- Have a strong track record of communicating about complex security and technical topics in an easy-to-understand way for a wide range of audiences, including press and policymakers
- Are experienced at issues management and developing reactive communications
- Want to be part of a fast-paced, small, experienced and impactful team
- Are a strong written and verbal communicator who believes accuracy is paramount and details matter
- Have strong media relationships, including with security and tech policy reporters and influencers
- Have a proven ability to work cross-functionally with a range of internal teams, both technical and non-technical
- Care about ensuring that transformative AI systems are developed safely
The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:

**Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy:** Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
