About Anthropic and the Role

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Our mission is to ensure that artificial intelligence benefits humanity. As frontier AI systems become increasingly powerful and globally significant, shaping the international policy landscape is critical to our mission.

We are hiring an International Policy Analyst to join our Policy team. You will be responsible for analyzing, interpreting, and engaging with the rapidly evolving global policy environment for artificial intelligence. Your work will directly inform Anthropic’s strategic positions, partnerships, and communications on the world stage. You will translate complex technical concepts into clear policy frameworks and help guide the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies across different jurisdictions and cultures.

This is a hybrid role, offering the flexibility of remote work with the expectation of periodic collaboration in our primary hubs and significant travel for international engagements. Critically, this position is open to international applicants, and Anthropic will sponsor visas for the right candidate.

Total Compensation: This role offers a competitive monthly salary in the range of USD $20,000 – $25,000, which corresponds to an annual base salary range of $240,000 – $300,000. Compensation is determined based on the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and geographic location, and is complemented by a comprehensive benefits and equity package.

Core Responsibilities

As an International Policy Analyst at Anthropic, you will serve as a key conduit between our technical research and the global policy ecosystem. Your core duties will be multifaceted and impactful:

• Global Landscape Analysis: Continuously monitor, research, and analyze AI policy developments from key international bodies (e.g., UN, OECD, G7/G20, Council of Europe), specific national governments, and regional blocs (e.g., EU, ASEAN). Provide timely, insightful briefings to internal leadership.

• Policy Research & Development: Draft in-depth reports, white papers, and comment submissions on critical topics such as AI safety standards, export controls, international governance models, liability frameworks, and ethical guidelines. Your analysis will be grounded in a deep understanding of both policy mechanisms and AI capabilities.

• Strategic Engagement Support: Prepare briefing materials, talking points, and strategic advice for Anthropic’s leadership and subject matter experts for engagements with policymakers, diplomats, civil society organizations, and industry consortiums abroad.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work seamlessly with Anthropic’s technical research, safety, legal, and communications teams to ensure policy positions are technically accurate, operationally feasible, and aligned with our core company values and safety commitments.
