Regulatory Investigations Counsel San Francisco, CA | Washington, DC

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 a member of our Litigation and Regulatory team, you will take primary responsibility for managing government and regulatory investigations, inquiries, and information requests directed at Anthropic, from initial contact through resolution. These matters may come from various sources, such as federal agencies, state attorneys general, and international regulatory bodies, and could range from informal inquiries to formal civil investigative demands, subpoenas, and multi-agency investigations. You will lead our response with minimal supervision, manage outside counsel, and work cross-functionally to gather information efficiently and with minimal disruption to the business. You may also advise on the regulatory dimensions of business decisions before they become inquiries, helping product, commercial, and policy colleagues understand how regulators are likely to view a launch, partnership, or practice. We may also ask you to flex into managing cases on our civil litigation docket. The right candidate brings the instincts of a litigator, the judgment of a counselor, and an interest in building the systems that let a small team handle a growing docket well.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. 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. Come work with us! 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.
