About Anthropic

Anthropics 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

As a Senior Media Manager at Anthropic, you will lead all paid media for our enterprise business and have key contributions for our broader brand media initiatives. You'll own how Anthropic and Claude reach the people who decide how organizations adopt AI, working within the Brand & Integrated Marketing team to turn commercial objectives into paid media plans that reach executives and consumers at the moments that matter.

In this role, you'll own the enterprise paid media strategy end to end, including channel mix, budget allocation, campaign architecture, and measurement, across paid social, programmatic, video, broadcast, audio, out-of-home, and trade and industry media. You'll develop a point of view on where our investment belongs and make the case for it with evidence in smart, strategic ways that can be applied to our entire media mix. You'll partner closely with Product Marketing, Growth, Sales, and Marketing Data Science, and you'll manage the agency, vendor, and platform relationships that bring the work to life, bringing both strategic judgment and hands-on rigor to the execution.

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.
