Internal Communications Manager, Policy

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 seeking an Internal Communications Manager to serve as a dedicated communications partner to our Policy organization.

We're looking for someone who's spent time in newsrooms, campaigns, or external communications—someone who knows how to take complex, fast-moving material and make it land for people who weren't in the room. In this role, you'll make sure Anthropic employees understand how policy developments connect to the work they do and to our mission as a public benefit corporation: ensuring the world safely makes the transition through transformative AI.

This role sits at the intersection of portfolio management, brand strategy, and executive communications. You'll own internal communications for your portfolio of teams, serving as their embedded communications expert while maintaining tight partnerships with their leadership.

Responsibilities:

• Own the internal communications strategy for Policy, becoming an expert in their work and a trusted member of their leadership team
• Partner closely with function leaders and executives to understand priorities, help them communicate change, and ensure their teams feel connected to the broader mission
• Cultivate and manage channels for disseminating timely information from teams
• Design and implement strategies to boost signal and reduce noise so employees know what's important and what it means for them
• Use qualitative and quantitative research to propose creative strategies and tactics that align with company goals and will resonate with our employee audience
• Weave our brand across different internal touchpoints, working across teams to uplift stories that connect our daily work to our mission and identify cultural moments that reinforce our values
• Exhibit operational excellence to help plan and execute internal fora like all-hands
• Partner closely with the broader internal communications team to ensure updates are being accurately and consistently cascaded via all our existing channels and live forums.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have worked in journalism, political campaigns, external communications, or government affairs—somewhere you learned to make complex, high-stakes material clear under pressure
• Are an exceptional writer with a particular talent for distilling complex decisions and cross functional projects into simple, compelling narratives
• Have 10+ years of proven experience executing and leading in fast-changing, complex, and international organizations
• Thrive on deep partnership with leadership teams and can truly embed yourself in business functions
• Have a keen eye for organizational culture and can recognize authentic moments worth amplifying while helping teams navigate cultural evolution
• Are comfortable navigating organizational dynamics and can build strong working relationships with executives

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.

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.

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.
