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

Anthropic is seeking an experienced Executive Communications Writer to support and scale the ways our leaders tell our story. In this role, you will work closely with the Head of Executive Communications and other organization leaders to reach priority audiences in ways that compellingly communicate Anthropic's position at the AI research frontier, market-leading commercial posture, and industry-leading commitment to public benefit.

In this role, a given day might include drafting, editing, brainstorming, on-site event support, and coordinating executive response to breaking news, all in close collaboration with the External Communications team and other leaders. The ideal candidate will be an adept storyteller, an experienced partner to leaders, and a flexible collaborator, able to navigate ambiguous situations with sound judgment. When circumstances dictate, you should also be capable of shaping highly technical materials that reach sophisticated audiences with deep domain experience. Because a company like Anthropic — and a technology like advanced AI — are unprecedented in nature, we’re looking for proactive, visionary candidates who offer fresh perspectives on what executive communications might look like in the AI era.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience and expert capability in at least one domain relevant to Anthropic's roster of executives. These include: science and research; products and AI architecture; enterprise and commercial strategy; and visual storytelling and brand, among others.

Responsibilities:

• Originate and shape exceptional executive communications that span a wide array of written and rhetorical formats and platforms
• Work cross-functionally with External Communications colleagues and other subject matter experts to drive consequential communications moments that serve strategic goals
• Support senior leaders in developing their areas of communications focus and in their preparation for major communications moments
• Balance a collaborative ethic with a strategic point of view

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 8+ years of high level executive communications experience, ideally at a high-tempo, industry-shaping organization
• Are an exceptional writer and communicator — both on the page, and in high-stakes, fast-moving environments
• Are high agency and low ego
• Demonstrate comfort and experience in supporting senior leaders
• Have a point of view on how forces of change are reshaping traditional communications disciplines, including executive communications
• Display strong operational capabilities
• Are self-driven with a bias to action
• Show excellent judgment and instincts in navigating ambiguous situations
• Maintain epistemic humility while making informed decisions
• Bring an open and curious mindset to deeply understand technical concepts

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
