Anthropic seeks an experienced Communication Designer to evolve our visual brand identity and bring paradigm-shifting products, research, and ideas to life through compelling visual storytelling. In this role, you'll conceptualize and create infographics, illustrations, and motion graphics that clearly, yet creatively, communicate our frontier AI technology. Reporting to the Brand-Creative Director, you’ll partner with the design team, Comms & Marketing, researchers, and our policy team to help bring our brand narrative to life.
About Anthropic
Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that’s working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our customers and for society as a whole. Our interdisciplinary team has experience across ML, physics, policy, business and product.

  • Weaving a brand narrative across different touchpoints, with the ability to produce assets for events, environmental graphics, digital experiences, or print
  • Articulating a creative vision by collaborating with other designers, illustrators, photographers, etc.
  • Communicating ideas and painting a picture of our work through written language (project briefs, written narratives, etc.) weaving our brand narrative together across various outputs

You may be a good fit if you:

  • Have strong writing skills
  • Are experienced in producing a variety of outputs
  • Independently drive projects and make independent judgements based on your understanding of the brand and business goals, while seeking feedback, brainstorming cross-functionally, and augmenting your work with others' expertise
  • Understand people’s feelings, cultures, and challenges through an inquisitive, learning-based approach towards your audience and subject
  • Hold to a standard of design without being a perfectionist, with the ability to understand the tradeoffs of fast-paced work without sacrificing standards

Logistics
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in our office at least 25% of the time.
Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
US visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, 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.
Compensation and Benefits*
Anthropic’s compensation package consists of three elements: salary, equity, and benefits. We are committed to pay fairness and aim for these three elements collectively to be highly competitive with market rates.

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.
