Responsibilities:

• Create and manage project timelines, resource allocation, and deliverable tracking across multiple concurrent brand campaigns

• Drive operational excellence by identifying inefficiencies and implementing solutions that improve team productivity and campaign outcomes

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in marketing operations, business strategy, or related roles in high-growth technology companies or consumer brands
• Strong analytical skills with proven experience in budget management, forecasting, and annual planning processes
• Demonstrated track record of building and scaling operational processes from scratch in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
• Experience with marketing technology stacks, analytics platforms, and project management tools
• Background in brand marketing or consumer marketing, with understanding of campaign development and execution

Strong candidates may also have:

What makes this role exciting:

You'll play a critical role in shaping how Anthropic tells its story to the world, building the operational foundation that enables our brand team to create compelling campaigns that differentiate Claude in the market. This is an opportunity to work at one of the most important companies in AI, helping to build brand awareness for technology that has the potential to transform how humans interact with AI systems.

You'll have the chance to build processes and systems from the ground up, working closely with a talented brand marketing team and gaining exposure to all aspects of brand building at a frontier AI company. As we grow, there will be significant opportunities for leadership and team building, with the potential to expand your scope across the broader marketing organization.

The expected salary range for this position is:

$200,000 - $255,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.

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.
