Communications Lead, Claude Code

Other Jobs To Apply

About the position

Anthropic is looking for a Communications Lead to own comms for Claude Code. You'll sit on the Product Communications team, working day-to-day with the Claude Code product team, developer relations, and marketing. The media landscape for developer tools doesn't look like it did five years ago. We need someone who understands both traditional press and the channels where developers form opinions. You might have come up through an in-house comms team, or you might have run launches inside product marketing, handled press from a DevRel role, or found your way to this work from somewhere adjacent. You should be a Claude Code user yourself and know the product well.

Responsibilities

  • Own communications for Claude Code, from the big launches to the steady rhythm of updates, community moments, and everything in between
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with journalists, newsletter writers, podcasters, and creators covering dev tools and the AI ecosystem
  • Lead cross-functional product launch communications, coordinating messaging across comms, marketing, developer relations, and product
  • Advise leadership and DevRel when things move fast or catch fire, whether it’s an incident or a community thread
  • Translate complex technical work into stories that land with developers and still make sense to broader audiences
  • Develop messaging frameworks and content strategies that work across technical and non-technical audiences
  • Prepare Claude Code engineers and product leads for external moments: podcasts, talks, press, etc.
  • Think across channels (press, social, community, owned) and know which lever to pull for each moment
  • Pay attention to what's actually working and build the program from there

Requirements

  • Have 8–12 years of experience in communications, PR, or developer marketing, with meaningful time focused on technical products or developer audiences
  • Use Claude Code heavily and can talk specifically about how you use it in your day-to-day
  • Are high-agency and low-ego, with a bias to action
  • Write clearly and concisely, whether it's a launch post or a cross-functional update, a lot of context moves through this role and people need to be able to follow it
  • Have a deep understanding of both traditional media channels and the emerging platforms where technical communities engage
  • Are very online, follow the right people, know what's moving through Hacker News and developer social chatter, and catch things early
  • Have real fluency in developer culture and know how trust gets earned there

Nice-to-haves

  • Have experience at developer tools companies, infrastructure products, or open source projects
  • Have an existing network in developer media, technical journalism, or the creator space
  • Have experience managing communications for AI or ML products

Benefits

  • competitive compensation and benefits
  • optional equity donation matching
  • generous vacation and parental leave
  • flexible working hours
  • a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues
