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 We are looking for a Federal Policy partner to lead and operationalize Anthropic's engagement with Senate Republicans and related stakeholders to drive AI policy that advances Anthropic's mission of ensuring that artificial intelligence systems are developed safely and benefit humanity. In this role, you will work closely with the government affairs team and the broader organization to translate strategic objectives into executable federal policy campaigns that shape the policy infrastructure. You will advise internal stakeholders, shape policy positions, develop advocacy strategies, and build and manage policymaker relationships to advance our policy goals. Anthropic is equal parts research lab, policy think-tank, and technology startup. We care deeply about the safe development of AI systems, and build partnerships with governments through proactive, opinionated, substantive policy conversations. Our approach to AI policy is genuinely distinctive — grounded in honest assessment of technological trajectories and authentic concern for safe scaling — and we need federal affairs professionals who understand how to operationalize that positioning creatively and strategically. This role offers a rare opportunity to shape AI governance at a critical moment. Federal AI policy is being written right now, and this is the most consequential technology policy debate in a generation. The decisions made in the next 2-3 years will shape how AI develops globally. You will work alongside leadership who are deeply engaged on policy and serve as partners in this work.
