Immigration Specialist, M&A

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that are safe and beneficial for users and society. About The Role Anthropic is seeking an M&A Immigration Specialist to lead the immigration strategy behind our corporate transactions. As Anthropic grows through acquisitions and acqui‑hires, you will be the subject‑matter expert ensuring that global talent moves seamlessly through every deal — from initial due diligence through closing and beyond. You will serve as the immigration advisor to our Corporate Development, Legal, and People teams, translating complex immigration questions into clear, actionable guidance for non‑specialists and designing the integration plans that bring acquired employees onto Anthropic with continuity, certainty, and care. This is a high‑trust, high‑autonomy role at the intersection of immigration law, corporate transactions, and the employee experience. Key Responsibilities Lead immigration due diligence on prospective acquisitions and acqui‑hires: evaluate the visa and green card posture of target workforces, identify portability and successor‑in‑interest considerations (PERM, I‑140, H‑1B), and quantify the immigration risk, cost, and timeline implications that inform deal decisions. Serve as the immigration advisor to Corporate Development, Legal, and senior leadership throughout the deal lifecycle, partnering with external counsel on novel or complex transaction‑related filings. Design and execute integration plans for transferring foreign nationals, ensuring continuity of status through closing, and providing white‑glove support so that acquired employees experience a smooth, well‑communicated transition. Maintain compliance with domestic and international employer obligations across transaction structures, and own documentation and record‑keeping for acquired entities and populations (E‑Verify, myUSCIS, and related systems). Build the playbooks, frameworks, and policies that make M&A immigration repeatable and scalable as Anthropic’s transaction volume and international footprint grow. Minimum Qualifications Deep expertise in business immigration as it applies to mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructuring — including successor‑in‑interest analysis, status portability, and the immigration mechanics of entity changes. Demonstrated ability to manage critical, deadline‑driven processes across multiple concurrent, confidential transactions with precision and care. Strong written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex, high‑stakes immigration questions into crisp guidance for deal teams, executives, and individual employees alike. Sound, independent judgment — you will operate with significant autonomy on time‑sensitive matters where the right answer isn’t always in a playbook. Preferred Qualifications 8+ years of business immigration experience, with meaningful exposure to M&A or corporate transaction immigration work. Experience advising in a fast‑paced, high‑growth, or startup environment. Background in scaling an immigration function or building processes from the ground up. A genuine passion for immigration work and for the people behind every case. Annual Salary
