Content Moderation Specialist

About the role Anthropic's Integrity & Compliance (I&C) function builds the systems that let us scale responsibly as our products reach more people, more enterprises, and more regulated industries. Our Regulatory Programs pillar covers a range of compliance domain areas including economic sanctions, US export controls, and regulatory compliance programs stemming from global AI safety regulation. As a Content Moderation Specialist, you will own day‑to‑day program management of Anthropic's global content moderation and online safety regulatory compliance program. You will translate obligations under regulations such as the EU Digital Services Act, the UK Online Safety Act, the Australian Online Safety Act, and emerging frameworks into a defensible, well‑documented compliance program – with regulatory risk assessments at its core. This role is deeply cross‑functional, partnering closely with internal counsel, Safeguards, Policy, engineering, and operations teams to build the compliance program and frameworks that demonstrate Anthropic meets its obligations under content regulation. You will exercise independent judgment on issues without clear precedent and help build durable programs that let Anthropic move quickly while honoring obligations to regulators, customers, and the public. Key responsibilities Own the global content regulation risk assessment program, including the roadmap of required assessments across jurisdictions, a consistent and repeatable risk assessment methodology and framework, and the coordination of inputs, consultation, and approvals for each assessment. Build and maintain systems and trackers to assess, operationalize, and report on relevant regulatory requirements across Anthropic's products and jurisdictions. Partner with internal counsel, Safeguards, Policy, engineering, and operations teams to align internal practices with external commitments and legal obligations. Maintain a controls inventory and the compliance documentation library for content regulation, ensuring documentation is drafted, reviewed by the right stakeholders, and kept current. Conduct gap analysis when new or amended content regulations come into scope, and stand up the compliance readiness plan and work‑back for each. Provide regular written program status reporting to stakeholders and leadership, proactively surfacing stalled or at‑risk items with a proposed path to unblock. Take on additional related work as the program evolves; duties may change from time to time at Anthropic's discretion or as required by applicable law. Minimum qualifications Experience managing regulatory or compliance programs at a technology company or in a regulated industry. Hands‑on experience conducting or program‑managing regulatory risk assessments, including coordinating inputs across multiple functions. Demonstrated ability to build and maintain compliance program artifacts, including policies, risk assessment documentation, controls inventories, program trackers, and readiness plans. A track record of executing cross‑functionally, driving outcomes across legal, product, policy, and operations partners without direct authority. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including producing clear program documentation and status reporting for senior stakeholders. Sound judgment and the ability to make decisions and move work forward with incomplete information in an evolving regulatory environment. Preferred qualifications 5+ years of relevant experience in regulatory program management or content moderation compliance. Direct experience with online safety or content moderation regulation, such as the EU Digital Services Act, UK Online Safety Act, Australia Online Safety Act, or comparable regimes. Experience in trust and safety, online safety, or regulatory compliance at a large consumer technology platform. Prior experience in a Big4 or other professional services firm advising on content regulation, online safety, or platform compliance engagements. Experience designing risk assessment methodologies or compliance frameworks from first principles. Experience with multi‑jurisdictional compliance programs in a rapidly scaling environment. Familiarity with how generative AI products intersect with content and online safety regulation.
