About Anthropic 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. About The Role As an Accommodations Partner at Anthropic, you will own the end-to-end reasonable accommodation process, ensuring employees and candidates receive fair, compliant, and thoughtful support. You will serve as the subject matter expert on complex, high-stakes accommodation requests and applicable disability law across the jurisdictions where Anthropic operates, leading the interactive process with employees, managers, and HR, and partnering closely with Recruiting (for candidates), Benefits, Employment Legal, and external partners to identify effective solutions. This role requires balancing hands‑on casework with process-building, as you will manage individual accommodation requests directly while also helping shape the frameworks, documentation, and cross‑functional coordination needed to scale this function globally. You'll partner closely with People Partners, Benefits, Recruiting, Employment Legal, and Occupational Health resources across regions to navigate sensitive medical and disability‑related matters with care, discretion, and sound judgment.

Develop frameworks that support consistent, defensible decision‑making while remaining responsive to the nuance of individual cases.

Documentation & Recordkeeping: Ensure accommodation requests, supporting materials, and determinations are documented and handled appropriately, maintaining accurate records, files, and confidentiality throughout the process.

How We're Different We believe that the highest‑impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large‑scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long‑term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest‑impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT‑3, Circuit‑Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
