Creative Director

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.

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.

• Develop brand positioning, messaging frameworks, and visual identity recommendations in collaboration with brand marketing and communications leadership
• Partner closely with communications, editorial, and publishing teams to ensure creative work supports and amplifies Anthropic’s voice across blogs, books, newsletters, and other content
• Collaborate with events leadership to shape the creative experience at Anthropic’s marquee events, including identity, branded environments, and on‑site materials
• Build and grow the Anthropic brand creative team, hiring for and developing talent across design, copywriting, and other disciplines as the team scales
• Manage relationships with external creative partners and agencies where appropriate, maintaining high standards and brand alignment across all work
• Work cross‑functionally with teams across the organization — including research, policy, product, and enterprise marketing — to ensure the Anthropic brand creative output serves a broad range of internal and external goals

• Have 10+ 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
• Have a strong portfolio demonstrating creative vision, strategic thinking, and the ability to work across a wide range of formats — including long‑form editorial, book design, campaigns, and digital
• Are skilled at translating complex, nuanced subject matter into creative that is both compelling and accessible to diverse audiences
