Description
We're seeking a strategic communications professional to join our team and drive external storytelling for Anthropic's research and model training work. As a Communications Manager, Research, you will craft compelling narratives that make frontier AI research and safety work more accessible and meaningful to journalists, policymakers, the broader research and safety community, and the public.
In this role, you'll develop and execute communications strategies across our research portfolio, including interpretability, alignment, model welfare, and model training, turning dense technical work into stories that resonate with distinct audiences. You'll lead launch moments for major research publications, papers, and milestones, owning the narrative, media strategy, and cross-functional rollout.
You'll create thought leadership opportunities for research executives to build their profiles as leading voices in AI safety through speaking engagements, bylines, conferences, and media. You'll build and maintain relationships with key science and technology journalists, research-focused outlets, and influencers in the AI and ML space.
As a trusted comms partner to research leads and senior stakeholders, you'll serve as a liaison between technical teams and external audiences, ensuring that complex research is communicated effectively and accurately.
To succeed in this role, you'll need 8+ years of experience working in communications, ideally with significant time spent on science, research, or deep-tech storytelling. You'll excel at translating complex technical concepts into compelling messaging and have a strong record of building proactive communications campaigns around technical or scientific work that resonated with a diverse range of audiences.
You'll be excellent at media relations, including with reporters who cover tech, science, and research rather than just business or product news. You'll have experience working directly with researchers, scientists, or engineers on a variety of topics and be comfortable operating in areas of genuine uncertainty , where the science is evolving, the stakes are high, and there may not be a right answer yet.
If you're a results-oriented individual with a bias toward flexibility and impact, who wants to be part of a fast-paced, small, experienced, and impactful team, we'd love to hear from you!
