      \n
    • A law degree and qualification to practice law in a relevant jurisdiction within EMEA.<\/li>\n
    • Experience in policy, regulatory, or government affairs work, whether that experience comes from government, a technology company, a law firm, or a policy organization.<\/li>\n
    • Strong communication skills in both writing and speaking, including the ability to explain technical and legal topics clearly to non-lawyers.<\/li>\n
    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, especially when dealing with unclear or evolving policy questions.<\/li>\n
    • A bachelor\u00e2\u0080\u0099s degree, or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.<\/li>\n
    • Relevant academic background, training, or professional experience in a field connected to the role.<\/li>\n

      • Familiarity with EMEA legislative and regulatory processes, including work involving national-level advocacy.<\/li>\n
      • Experience drafting policy positions, comment letters, or regulatory submissions.<\/li>\n
      • Ability to quickly understand AI concepts and translate them into policy terms.<\/li>\n
      • Interest in government affairs and a strong commitment to responsible AI development.<\/li>\n
      • A collaborative and humble approach, with the ability to work effectively across different teams.<\/li>\n

          Visa sponsorship<\/h3>\n

          Anthropic states that it does sponsor visas. It adds that sponsorship is not possible for every role or every candidate, but if an offer is extended the company will make every reasonable effort to secure the necessary visa and will involve an immigration lawyer to help with the process.<\/p>\n

          How to apply<\/h3>\n

          Applications are submitted through the online form. Applicants are asked to provide a resume or LinkedIn profile, and at least one of those is required. The form also requests a short written response about the most challenging professional learning experience you have had and what you learned from it, along with responses to questions about name pronunciation, availability to start, any timing constraints, AI usage guidelines, interest in working at Anthropic, visa sponsorship needs, relocation openness, work address, prior interviews at Anthropic, and an optional cover letter or additional information.<\/p>\n

          Anthropic encourages candidates to apply even if they do not meet every listed qualification, noting that strong applicants may not satisfy every requirement. The company also emphasizes its commitment to diverse perspectives and representation on the team.<\/p>\n

          For safety, Anthropic warns applicants that legitimate recruiters will only use @anthropic.com email addresses, may sometimes work through vetted agencies that clearly identify themselves, and will never request money, fees, or banking details before the first day. If there is any doubt about a message, applicants are directed to the company\u00e2\u0080\u0099s careers site to verify openings.<\/p>\n\n
