## Description

As a Commercial Counsel for Colo and Networks at Anthropic, you'll lead legal execution for the distributed component of Anthropic's compute strategy (colocation agreements, network connectivity / infrastructure, and datacenter services).

You'll work closely with Anthropic’s compute transaction managers to secure capacity through third-party facilities and emerging providers, complementing our hyperscaler relationships and direct datacenter development workstreams.

This role requires a JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar, with at least 8 years of relevant legal experience and meaningful exposure to colocation, interconnection, or telecommunications agreements.

You should have experience negotiating colocation MSAs, interconnection agreements, or fiber/transit contracts, and understand how power requirements, security levels, network connectivity, and expansion options drive contract terms.

You'll manage novel commercial structures, high-risk terms, or precedent-setting provisions to managers for strategic direction, escalating where necessary.

The annual compensation range for this role is $265,000-$320,000 USD.
