About Anthropic

Anthropic’s 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 Web Design Manager at Anthropic, you will lead the enterprise web design team responsible for how businesses experience Anthropic on the web. Our website is often the first place enterprise buyers encounter Claude, and the pages your team ships need to make complex, technical products feel clear, distinctive, and trustworthy. You'll bring a strong art director's eye to every project, set the craft standard, shape design direction for the next stage of our enterprise web presence, and build a team that does the best work of their careers.

In this role, you'll own the enterprise web design practice: setting priorities, guiding projects from brief to launch, and holding a high bar for visual quality, storytelling, and performance. We're looking for someone who cares deeply about craft and knows how to use art direction (imagery, typography, motion, and composition) to tell a clear, memorable story on every page. You'll partner closely with enterprise marketing as your main day-to-day collaborators on priorities, messaging, and launches, and work alongside web engineering, web strategy and growth, brand and creative, sales and customer teams, product, and external agency partners to ship work that is both beautiful and effective.

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.
