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.
The Creative Studio is Anthropic’s in-house creative team responsible for the brand expression across Anthropic and Claude. We care about craft, making things by hand and using AI when it makes sense. The team is growing, and we’re looking for people who do excellent work to join us. The stakes are real, and there’s room to shape what all this becomes.
About the role
We’re looking for an Art Director to help build the creative vision for how Anthropic shows up with enterprise audiences. You’ll be a hands-on creative partner working closely with our enterprise marketing team, concepting campaigns and shaping how the work shows up in the world. We need someone who’s built ideas from a brief, sold them in a room, and seen them through to production. You should be as comfortable sketching a concept on a whiteboard as you are directing a photographer on set or briefing an agency partner.
Some campaigns you’ll build and ship entirely in-house; others you’ll run through external agencies, acting as the creative through-line between our team and theirs. Either way, you’re hands-on and you own the outcome. Think of this as a “swiss army knife” role: deep in campaign craft, but versatile enough to push craft anywhere the work needs you.
Responsibilities
- Concept and art direct integrated campaigns for enterprise audiences from initial brief through final production across digital, video, and print.
- Direct photo and video shoots, working with directors, photographers, illustrators, animators, and production partners to bring campaigns to life.
- Flex between executing work in-house and directing it through agency partners. When we go external, you’re the creative lead in the room — translating brand context, giving clear feedback, and keeping the work ours.
- Develop campaign visual systems with repeatable creative frameworks that give a campaign range while keeping it recognizably ours.
- Shape enterprise storytelling, finding compelling ways to turn customer outcomes and product capabilities into narratives people actually want to engage with.
- Serve as a creative partner to the enterprise marketing team, bringing business goals and audience insight to life through bold creative concepts and sharp visual direction.
- Ensure brand consistency and raise the bar for quality across all enterprise touchpoints.
You may be a good fit if you
- Have 10+ years of experience in breakthrough B2B and B2B-adjacent campaign development — concept development, art direction, and execution — with real breadth in craft across photography, design, typography, illustration direction, and motion. You’re the go-to creative for skillfully art-directing a shoot, refining a layout, pushing a typographic detail, or building a campaign design system in Figma.
- Have a portfolio with range, spanning from brand to enterprise, showing concept development, art direction, and execution across multiple channels and formats — and individual pieces of craft that hold up on their own.
- Are a leader-doer. You uphold a high bar, directing with creative judgment and taste, but stay hands-on. You can set the vision and also do the work — not just direct it from a distance.
- Have worked both sides of the agency relationship. You can build a campaign with your own hands, and you can steer an external team without losing the thread.
- Have directed shoots and worked closely with photographers, illustrators, designers, or production teams. You know how to get the best work out of collaborators and you can step in and push the craft yourself when it needs it.
- Think conceptually, with a systems mindset. You lead with ideas, but keep the big picture in mind as the brand scales.
- Can move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution without losing momentum. You’re comfortable doing the work, not just directing it.
- Have experience working with enterprise, B2B, and technical audiences and understand how to make that work feel anything but boring.
- Are drawn to brand-building work — shaping perception, building affinity, and raising the bar for how a company shows up in the market.
- Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and can manage multiple campaigns and workstreams without sacrificing quality.
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
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.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, 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.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

About The Role
In this role, you will turn AI and ML into exciting, reliable user-facing product capabilities. You bring a strong technical background with deep machine learning expertise shaped by hands-on experience shipping models into production and iterating based on real-world feedback. You’re motivated by measurable impact and customer delight, and you balance innovation with practicality.
You’re fluent in Python, comfortable working across the data + ML stack, and able to build and ship models quickly in ways that are maintainable, observable, and scalable to large datasets. From lightweight heuristics and classical ML to modern deep learning and generative AI workflows, you can choose the right level of complexity for the problem and execute end-to-end: framing, experimentation, evaluation, deployment, and iteration.
You value the craft of software engineering and bring a thoughtful approach to system design for ML—data quality, pipelines, feature/embedding workflows, model serving, monitoring, and continuous improvement. Because ML has the most leverage when it’s deeply integrated into a cohesive product experience, you’re a strong cross-functional partner: you collaborate closely with product, design, engineering, and data to align on goals, define success metrics, and deliver outcomes.
You stay current on the fast-moving AI landscape with a grounded perspective—curious, discerning, and able to separate durable advances from hype—so the team can move quickly without chasing noise.

- Proactively assure progress with stakeholders and continually assess prioritization in order to move the business forward.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience designing and developing ML systems for impactful product experiences.
- Proven track record in optimizing ML algorithms and building ML pipelines with a focus on reliability and scalability.
- Expertise in Python for writing production-ready, testable code and conducting exploratory data analysis (EDA).
- Strong capabilities in SQL, statistics, and tools of effective data science.
- Hands-on experience with computer vision models and familiarity with the latest trends in AI and ML.
- Prior experience with data engineering and infrastructure on cloud platforms (preferably AWS).
