> 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.

## Job Description

## 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.
