Policy Partnerships & Convenings Lead, Central Policy

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.

We are seeking a new member of our Central Policy team to build and lead the Partnerships and Convenings function. This function is responsible for policy strategy with a wide range of multinational civil society organizations, industry actors, and other third parties, along with the events through which policy relationships are built and sustained. You will manage a team comprising both Policy Partnerships and Policy Events experts. Your charge is to make the sum of that work strategically coherent, globally scalable, and accountable to Anthropic's policy goals.

The Central Policy team sits at the operational heart of Anthropic's policy function — distinct from government relations and communications, but essential to enabling both. We focus on building the systems, resources, and scalable programs that empower our broader policy team to succeed. You'll work closely with our federal affairs, state and local affairs, international affairs, national security, policy communications, and research teams.

This is a builder's role as much as a manager's. You and your team will be tasked with standing up credible partnership and events programs at speed. This function will serve as a bridge between a wide range of Anthropic's teams on one side, and third-party policy stakeholders on the other. Successful candidates will demonstrate a track record of operational and policy excellence.

Anthropic is equal parts research lab, policy think-tank, and technology startup. We care deeply about the safe development of AI systems, and we build partnerships with other policy actors through proactive, opinionated, substantive policy conversations. Success in this role requires being a trusted partner both to cross-functional colleagues and external actors.

This role requires approximately 25% travel, including international travel to priority regions and travel to Anthropic offices for alignment and planning sessions.
