This is an individual contributor role at the strategic heart of Anthropic's policy function , designed for an operator with 8–10+ years of experience who wants to drive clarity on Anthropic's most consequential policy positions, partner with cross-functional peers, and be deployed as a strategic resource across fast-moving policy work.

• Translate technical research, model capability, and scientific content into policy-ready language for federal, state, and international policymakers, their staff, and legislators.
• Serve federal, state, and international affairs teams as an internal senior advisor , improving their processes, standing up shared material libraries, and building the collateral and strategies they need to be effective in their markets.

Minimum qualifications:

• Have direct experience with message development and testing for policy, advocacy, or communications audiences.
• Have experience translating technical material (scientific, engineering, or deeply technical policy) for non-expert decision-makers.
• Are comfortable operating at breadth across multiple policy issue areas simultaneously, and can develop fluency in new ones quickly.

Preferred qualifications:

• Have 8–10+ years of professional experience in corporate public affairs, management consulting, government relations, policy or political campaigns, think tanks, or similar fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
• Experience in technology, financial services, energy, pharma, or other heavily regulated industries.
