Web Design Manager

Details

As a Web Design Manager at Anthropic, you will lead the enterprise web design team responsible for how businesses experience Anthropic on the web. The 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 will set the craft standard, shape design direction for Anthropic's enterprise web presence, and build a high-performing team.

You will own the enterprise web design practice by setting priorities, guiding projects from brief to launch, and maintaining a high bar for visual quality, storytelling, and performance. You will use art direction across imagery, typography, motion, and composition to tell clear, memorable stories on every page. You will partner with enterprise marketing and collaborate with web engineering, web strategy and growth, brand and creative, sales and customer teams, product, and external agency partners.
