Anthropic is seeking a Communications Manager to drive communications for The Anthropic Institute, a research organization focused on advancing public conversation around AI's impact on society and the economy.
You will provide dedicated communications coverage for two major research portfolios: Economic Research (which tracks AI's effect on jobs, wages, and the economy through the Anthropic Economic Index and labor market analysis) and Societal Impacts (which studies how Claude is used in real-world contexts, from workplace impacts to frontier agent applications). You'll also support other Institute teams including Special Projects and the Frontier Red Team.
Key responsibilities include:
- Drive day-to-day communications for Economic Research and Societal Impacts teams, including research tracking, publication planning, and reactive press
- Lead communications planning and execution for major launches like the quarterly Anthropic Economic Index, labor market analyses, and new initiatives such as the Economic Research Fund
- Translate complex technical and quantitative research into narratives accessible to audiences beyond specialist communities
- Build and maintain relationships with reporters covering economics, labor, technology, research, and general interest outlets, as well as 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 communications and policy leadership
- Partner with policy and editorial teams on publishing strategy across multiple channels (blog, microsites, interactive experiences, video, audio)
- Prepare researchers for media interviews, podcasts, and speaking engagements
- Build repeatable rollout playbooks and processes for a lean, growing team
- Track research agendas to shape findings early and plan publications months in advance
You'll work closely with the Economic Research and Societal Impacts research teams daily, collaborate with a Deputy Communications Lead, and coordinate with Anthropic's broader communications, policy, and editorial teams while maintaining the Institute's distinct voice.
Requirements:
- Deep communications experience with significant depth in research, science, economics, or policy communications
- Proven track record translating complex, technical, or academic research into public narratives reaching audiences beyond specialist communities
- Comfort reading and interrogating quantitative research; ability to engage substantively with researchers
- Strong, active media relationships
- Ability to move between long-lead strategic messaging and fast-turnaround tactical execution without losing quality
- Experience leading multi-channel rollouts spanning strategy, digital, press, and cross-functional approvals
- Intellectual curiosity about AI's impact on the economy, society, and the future of work
- Ability to thrive in fast-moving environments with shifting priorities and ambiguity
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience
- A field of study relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Strong candidates may also have:
- Experience at a research institution, think tank, economics publication, or policy organization
- Familiarity with the AI policy landscape and debates around AI's labor market and societal impacts
- Experience standing up communications processes or playbooks on small, growing teams
- Background working directly with economists, social scientists, or academic researchers on publication strategy
- Experience managing sensitive or high-scrutiny press moments
- Enthusiasm for using AI tools in workflows to multiply team capacity
