Member of Editorial Staff

About this role

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

Anthropic is looking for a writer and editor to help shape how we talk about our research, products, and company. Part of this job is building something. You’ll join our Editorial Publishing team, which is responsible for creating a home for writing that gives readers a sense of what Anthropic is, and makes our mission more concrete. You'll write, edit and commission essays, explainers, and profiles for a curious general audience — pieces that take a research finding, the building of a new product feature, or a debate happening inside the company and make it legible and interesting to a general readership.

The other part is helping us hold the line on everything we publish. You'll be the person people internally come to when something needs to “sound like us.”

We're looking for someone who can move between these modes without treating them as separate jobs: someone who sees editing a clunky sentence and finding the angle for a long essay as the same kind of mission-led editorial work.

Key responsibilities

• Write, edit, and commission long-form essays, explainers, companion pieces, and profiles that open up Anthropic's research, products, and culture to a general readership

• Edit contributions from subject-matter experts and non-professional writers, giving structural and line-level feedback while keeping their voice intact

• Develop new ideas and formats suitable for helping Anthropic reach a wider range of audiences. Launch, experiment and generally drive forward our work into new realms.

Minimum qualifications

• Write well about complex or technical subjects for readers who don't share the jargon

• Edit with conviction

• Value honest, clear and direct writing and can adapt tone for different audiences without losing the underlying voice

• Know the current AI landscape well enough to spot what's new, what's overclaimed, and what's most interesting

• Understand Anthropic's mission and how it relates to the commercial side of the company

• Have a body of published or edited work that shows the above

Preferred qualifications

• Experience building or running an owned-media publication or newsletter

• Experience developing or maintaining a written style guide

• Familiarity editing non-professional writers

• Experience with executive speechwriting or live events content

• Some fluency with social platforms like X and LinkedIn
