In the posting’s own words

As a Communications Manager at Anthropic, you will bring The Anthropic Institute's research to the world. The Institute works to advance the public conversation around AI, publishing findings so that policymakers, researchers, journalists, and the public can reckon with what's here and prepare for what's ahead.

What it asks for · 9

  • Have deep communications experience, with significant depth in research, science, economics, or policy communications
  • Have a track record of translating complex, technical, or academic research into public narratives that reach audiences well beyond specialist communities
  • Are comfortable reading and interrogating quantitative research, and can engage substantively and credibly with the researchers who produce it
  • Have strong, active media relationships
  • Can move between long-lead strategic messaging and fast-turnaround tactical execution without losing quality, from planning a launch months out to handling an inbound press inquiry the same day
  • Have led multi-channel rollouts spanning strategy, digital, press, and cross-functional approvals
  • Are intellectually curious about AI's impact on the economy, society, and the future of work, and can embrace the unexpected in a field where the unusual is the norm
  • Thrive in fast-moving environments where priorities shift and ambiguity is common
  • Are excited about Anthropic's mission to develop AI that is safe and beneficial

Also a plus

  • Experience at a research institution, think tank, economics publication, or policy organization communicating quantitative findings
  • Familiarity with the AI policy landscape and the debates around AI's labor market and societal impacts
  • Experience standing up communications processes or playbooks on a small, growing team
  • A background working directly with economists, social scientists, or academic researchers on publication strategy
  • Experience managing sensitive or high-scrutiny press moments, including deciding what to say, when, and how
  • Enthusiasm for using AI tools in your own workflows to multiply what a small team can do

What the job covers

  • Drive day-to-day communications for the Economic Research and Societal Impacts teams, including research tracking, publication planning, and reactive press
  • Lead communications planning and launch execution for the Anthropic Economic Index, recurring labor market analyses, and new research initiatives like the Economic Research Fund
  • Develop narratives that translate technical and quantitative research for audiences well beyond specialist communities
  • Build and maintain relationships with reporters across economics, labor, technology, research, and general interest outlets, along with academic economists and think tank researchers
  • Draft communications plans, briefing documents, talking points, press materials, and social content
  • Manage reactive press on sensitive findings in partnership with the Communications Lead, Deputy Communications Lead, and policy team
  • Partner with policy and editorial teams on publishing strategy, ensuring research reaches the largest appropriate audience through the Anthropic blog, the Institute's site, microsites, interactive experiences, video, and audio
  • Present researchers for media interviews, podcast appearances, and speaking engagements, and prepare them to succeed in those moments
  • Partner with Institute communications leadership on major announcements and milestone engagements
  • Build repeatable rollout playbooks and processes that allow a lean team to cover a growing research portfolio
  • Track both teams' research agendas to shape findings early and plan publications months in advance
