About the role
We are looking for an experienced UK-based Public Policy expert to advance practical governance of increasingly powerful AI systems by building relationships with external stakeholders, develop substantive policy positions and papers and engage in regular outreach to drive progress in AI policy and AI safety, drawing upon established relationships with key policymakers and their staffs in London. As part of this role you will collaborate with a dynamic, geographically distributed policy team on a variety of other projects, including analyzing policy proposals, drafting submissions for public comment, planning and assisting policy campaigns in the UK and Europe, and also providing policy advice to technical colleagues which you will work alongside in London. This role is crucial to advancing Anthropic's mission in the UK, shaping AI governance to balance safety, innovation, and UK competitiveness.
Responsibilities:
- Brief a diverse set of policy and research actors that are looking to better understand AI safety and AI policy opportunities
- Convene diverse stakeholders and speak at policy events such as research announcements, discussion panels, or workshops on AI safety topics
- Analyze UK legislation and provide feedback that advances the creation of a market for secure, safe, and dependable AI systems
- Support senior colleagues in external engagements by preparing meeting briefs and taking action on follow-up requests

You may be a good fit if you:
- Have 5+ years of professional experience in government, technology, legal, and/or other policy-relevant environments
- Have a track record of effective, information-rich advocacy with UK government regulatory authorities
- Are energized by agency; you will be the first policy hire in the UK and will be building the operation from scratch
- Enjoy drafting and executing complex policy campaigns that move the needle on legislative action
- Thrive when engaging with policymakers, civil society, and think tanks to translate complex technical topics into accessible and relevant information
- Excel at translating high-level vision into executable operational plans
