Creative Director, Anthropic

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.

The Creative Studio is Anthropic’s in‑house creative team responsible for 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.

Anthropic is looking for a Creative Director to own the creative vision for the Anthropic brand — defining how Anthropic looks, feels, and communicates in the world.

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 flagship events and media partnerships to long‑form editorial content, book publishing, thought leadership campaigns, and internal communications. The Creative Director ensures that work across all of these channels feels cohesive, distinctive, and editorially rigorous, while also building the team that makes it possible.

You’ll work closely with brand marketing, communications, editorial, and publishing 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.
