About the role
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. Anthropic’s policy team works closely with governments, wider policymakers, and scientific and academic communities to advance AI safety and develop proactive policy positions that make these outcomes more likely.
We are looking for a policy advisor to lead development of UK legislative and regulatory positions, and associated engagement. You will work closely with the wider UK and EMEA policy teams, the San Francisco-based central policy team who develop global legislative positions, legal and technical research teams. You will also support related communications and events.
In this role, you will:
-
Develop, and respond to, relevant UK legislative and regulatory policy proposals. This includes both cross-cutting and, at times, sectoral AI policies.
-
Be the first port of call for UK Parliamentary and regulatory business.
-
Lead engagement related to relevant UK legislative and regulatory policies including with the UK government, Parliament and wider stakeholders, in coordination with the UK Head of Policy.
-
Work closely with the wider Anthropic policy team (including the UK and EMEA teams, and the US-based central policy team developing global positions), legal and technical research teams. Ensure these stakeholders are kept abreast of horizon developments.
-
Work closely with communications and marketing to influence communications and events strategies where relevant, and speak at events within your areas of expertise.
-
Understand technical AI developments so that you are able to communicate Anthropic’s latest research and an inside view on technical developments.
You may be a good fit if you:
-
Have 7+ years of experience working in relevant policy roles either in government or the private sector.
-
Have a track record developing significant AI and/or tech policy positions within the UK, taking account of the global context.
-
Possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, and can translate technical concepts into accessible information.
-
Are high-agency, able to develop and execute strategy independently, taking account of dependencies with other cross-functional teams within Anthropic.
-
Are a skilled researcher, analyst, and writer and can engage at a granular level, including with detailed legal concepts.
-
Have experience working in a fast-paced environment, handling multiple issues at one time, with complex stakeholder networks.
-
Are highly motivated to deliver Anthropic’s mission to make the transition to a world of powerful AI go well, and think creatively about policy positions that deliver this.
This role is based in London. It requires occasional foreign travel, including to the United States.
