Director, Investor Relations at Anthropic in San Francisco, CA

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.

About the role

Anthropic's Investor Relations team is responsible for managing the company’s engagement with its investors and the broader financial community. The Director of Investor Relations will be responsible for building the company’s investor engagement and investment narrative alongside the Head of Investor Relations, informing investors' understanding of Anthropic’s mission, strategy, financial performance, and core advantages that together form the investment thesis.

This role is well suited to someone with analytical rigor and a background in capital markets who follows developments in technology and AI closely. They will be responsible for deeply understanding investors' perspectives on Anthropic as well as the broader industry, bringing strategic insights to leadership to help inform key decisions. Strong candidates pair depth in financial analysis with the ability to distill sophisticated financial and technical concepts into clear and concise investor narratives. They should be comfortable operating autonomously and building things that don't exist yet.

Key responsibilities

• Serve as a thought partner to the Head of Investor Relations in shaping the priorities and direction of Anthropic's investor relations program
• Build strong relationships with senior members of the investment community as their primary point of contact
• Draft and refine investor-facing messaging on the company’s financial performance, strategy and progress on key initiatives
• Represent Anthropic in investor meetings, answering questions covering the company’s entire business and product suite
• Advise leadership on investor sentiment, market expectations, and how key decisions are likely to be received
• Develop a view of Anthropic’s shareholder base and how it should involve, leading investor targeting and outreach accordingly
• Track developments across AI and the broader technology landscape, distilling them into concise internal briefings on how the market is thinking about Anthropic and the broader industry
• Manage cross-functional initiatives that involve stakeholders across legal, finance, communications and other departments
• Prepare the executive team for investor conversations by anticipating likely questions, sharpening key messages, and providing the supporting data
• Help build the systems, templates, and processes that let a lean investor relations function operate at scale as the company grows

Minimum qualifications

• Experience in investor relations, equity research, investment banking, investing, or a comparable capital markets role
• Experience synthesizing complex financial and strategic information into written work for sophisticated audiences — research notes, investment memos, investor updates, or equivalent
• Demonstrated judgment handling confidential and market-sensitive information
• Excellent written communication, with the ability to write clearly for readers who have limited time and deep technical questions
• Experience interacting directly with institutional investors, analysts, or a company's executive team
• Ability to build and maintain financial models, and to translate financial statements and operating metrics into a defensible view of a business

Preferred qualifications

• Depth in technology, software, semiconductors, or AI infrastructure — whether from covering the sector as an analyst, investing in it, or working inside it
• Experience owning a sector or company as a lead analyst, or holding comparable ownership of an investment thesis in a buy-side role
• Experience at a high-growth technology company as a senior member of the investor relations function
• Familiarity with consumption-based, API-first, or enterprise software revenue models
• Comfort working directly with executives, board members, and external advisors
• Interest in AI safety and enthusiasm for explaining a research-driven company to a financial audience

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

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.
