Communications Lead, Platform
Anthropic is seeking a Communications Lead to manage external communications for the Claude Platform API. This role involves owning product launches, building media relationships, and preparing spokespeople to effectively communicate about the platform.
About the job
Key responsibilities
- Own communications for the Claude Platform end to end: capability releases, product updates, and the steady cadence of developer-facing news
- Build and maintain strong relationships with the journalists, newsletter writers, and creators covering AI platforms, enterprise software, and the API economy
- Prepare Platform leaders to be effective spokespeople for press, podcasts, panels, and the smaller moments in between
- Partner with Product and Engineering to align external narratives with how these products are sold and supported, and surface customer feedback back to the teams who can act on it
- Work across press, social, owned, and community channels, with the judgment to know which one carries a given moment and when to coordinate more than one at once
Minimum qualifications
- Experience in communications, PR, or product marketing, including meaningful time on platform, API, developer, or enterprise products
- An understanding of both developer culture and enterprise buying, and the judgment to read timing and tone when the conversation around AI gets noisy
- Strong instincts for which product moments deserve the spotlight and which don't, and genuine curiosity about what makes a launch land
- A demonstrated ability to operate with high agency and low ego, with a bias to action
Preferred qualifications
- 8-10 years of experience in communications, PR, or product marketing
- Communications experience at a developer platform, API-first, or enterprise software company
- Existing relationships with reporters and analysts covering AI platforms, enterprise tech, or the developer ecosystem
- Experience managing communications for AI or ML products
- Are very online: you follow the right channels, know what's moving through Hacker News and developer social chatter, and catch things early
Annual Salary:
$255,000—$320,000 USD
Logistics
- Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
- Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
- Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
- 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.
