Job Description
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
We are looking for a strategic operator to support the leadership of Anthropic's Public Policy and
The Anthropic Institute . Our Public Policy team works with governments around the world to help shape AI governance, advancing priorities like model safety, transparency, and democratic leadership in AI. The Anthropic Institute studies the societal, economic, and governance implications of advanced AI, and reports candidly on what we're learning.
Your overarching mandate is twofold: 1) ensure the day-to-day of both orgs runs smoothly — leadership is focused on the right things, teams are coordinated, and nothing falls through the cracks, and 2) drive projects that help the orgs scale, from budget forecasting and headcount planning to executive engagement prep. This is a high-trust, high-context role that sits at the center of two fast-moving teams. It requires strong operational rigor, the ability to move between altitudes (from a board memo to a seating chart), and a real understanding of how AI policy, safety research, and public benefit work intersect.
In this role, you will:
Own day-to-day leadership prioritization for Public Policy and The Anthropic Institute — triage inbound, prep decisions, ensure time is spent on highest-leverage work.
Run the operating rhythm of both orgs: team meetings, leadership syncs, offsites.
Staff executive engagements end-to-end — briefing memos, talking points, pre-reads, logistics, and post-meeting action tracking for senior internal and external meetings.
Drive special projects to scale the orgs: e.g., budget and headcount planning.
Partner with the Chief of Staff (strategic alignment, escalations, cross-org priorities) and the Administrative Business Partner (calendar, travel, logistics) in a tight unit.
You may be a good fit if you:
Have 7+ years of experience in chief of staff, business operations, strategy, or program management roles — ideally with direct exposure to executive leadership
Have previously worked in policy, government, or another frontier tech environment
Have hands-on experience using Claude/AI tools to improve org effectiveness
Are skilled at navigating organizational complexity and influencing without authority
Can "see around corners" — you anticipate what leaders will need before they ask, and you make sure the right information and people are in the room
Move comfortably between strategic and tactical work — you can write the board memo and also make sure the offsite venue has working AV
Have clear and concise written and verbal communication
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
