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.About the role
Anthropic is looking for a Communications Manager to lead comms for Claude Code. You'll sit on the Product Communications team, working day-to-day with the Claude Code product team, developer relations, and marketing.
The media landscape for developer tools doesn't look like it did five years ago. We need someone who understands both traditional press and the channels where developers form opinions. You might have come up through an in-house comms team, or you might have run launches inside product marketing, handled press from a DevRel role, or found your way to this work from somewhere adjacent.
You should be a Claude Code user yourself and know the product well.
Responsibilities:
Own communications for Claude Code, from the big launches to the steady rhythm of updates, community moments, and everything in between
Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, newsletter writers, podcasters, and creators covering dev tools and the AI ecosystem
Lead cross-functional product launch communications, coordinating messaging across comms, marketing, developer relations, and product
Advise leadership and DevRel when things move fast or catch fire, whether it’s an incident or a community thread
Translate complex technical work into stories that land with developers and still make sense to broader audiences
Develop messaging frameworks and content strategies that work across technical and non-technical audiences
Prepare Claude Code engineers and product leads for external moments: podcasts, talks, press, etc.
Think across channels (press, social, community, owned) and know which lever to pull for each moment
Pay attention to what's actually working and build the program from there
You may be a good fit if you:
Have 8–12 years of experience in communications, PR, or developer marketing, with meaningful time focused on technical products or developer audiences
Use Claude Code heavily and can talk specifically about how you use it in your day-to-day
Are high-agency and low-ego, with a bias to action
Write clearly and concisely, whether it's a launch post or a cross-functional update, a lot of context moves through this role and people need to be able to follow it
Have a deep understanding of both traditional media channels and the emerging platforms where technical communities engage
Are very online, follow the right people, know what's moving through Hacker News and developer social chatter, and catch things early
Have real fluency in developer culture and know how trust gets earned there
Strong candidates may also
Have experience at developer tools companies, infrastructure products, or open source projects
Have an existing network in developer media, technical journalism, or the creator space
Have experience managing communications for AI or ML products

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.

We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.Your safety matters to us.

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.
