About the role

Anthropic’s model weights and training infrastructure are among the highest-value targets in the technology sector, facing nation-state, supply-chain interdiction, and insider threats that conventional enterprise security programs were not built to address. As Commercial Counsel, Infrastructure Security for Compute and Infrastructure at Anthropic, you’ll be the day-to-day legal partner to the Chief Security Officer’s infrastructure-security and the Governance, Risk and Compliance teams. You will own the contractual and regulatory layer of physical and facility security, hardware and supply-chain security, network security, vendor personnel and insider-risk flow-downs, and security regulatory and assurance.

You’ll work in close partnership with Anthropic teammates in Frontier, Product, Litigation, Employment, and Commercial Legal, in addition to specialized outside counsel. You will serve as the primary legal owner ensuring security requirements are in the contract before signature and that external work product aligns with Anthropic’s security posture and commercial objectives.

Responsibilities:

• Draft and negotiate security design-basis and site-hardening specifications in build-to-suit, lease, and colo agreements (perimeter, access control, CCTV, intrusion detection); guard-force statements of work, post orders, and KPI regimes; visitor, contractor, and badging policy; and security clauses in shared-campus and multi-tenant arrangements

• Own provenance, anti-tamper, and chain-of-custody warranties in silicon, ODM, and OEM paper; trusted-supplier and country-of-origin restrictions; NDAA §889/§5949 and CHIPS-Act guardrail flow-downs; BIS/EAR advanced-computing and semiconductor export-control flow-downs and end-use/end-user certifications; firmware integrity, secure-boot, and golden-image escrow terms; secure logistics; counterfeit-part and grey-market controls; and secure decommissioning and certified media-destruction terms

• Draft security schedules in carrier and fiber agreements (encryption-in-transit, route integrity, lawful-intercept handling), and security obligations in peering agreements

• Set background-screening, training, and badge-revocation requirements for vendor and contractor personnel with site or hardware access, and flow Anthropic personnel-security standards into guard-force, security-integrator, and EPC vendor MSAs

• Support CFIUS and outbound-investment screening on infrastructure vendors and sites, provide NIST/ISO/SOC 2 physical-control evidence for customer and auditor assurance in partnership with security teams; and support security representations in customer contracts that reference physical infrastructure with Commercial Legal

• Work closely with specialized outside counsel, ensuring their work product aligns with Anthropic’s security and commercial objectives

• Build the function: develop and maintain the security-schedule library, design-basis templates, advise on vendor security questionnaire templates, and negotiation playbooks; train Procurement, Datacenter, and Network teams to apply them at scale

• Serve as direct counsel to the CSO’s infrastructure-security organization, coordinating with Product Legal and Litigation on incident response, threat intelligence, law-enforcement and intelligence-community engagement, insider-threat governance, and model-weight security policy under Anthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy

• Escalate novel structures or terms that create downstream risk for Anthropic’s security posture or operational flexibility; ensure security requirements accommodate AI-specific threats including hardware tamper, supply-chain interdiction, and high-value-target facility risk

• Monitor and assess the evolving regulatory landscape affecting security and data protection, identifying higher-risk obligations for the business and partnering with security to operationalize them through policies, controls, and compliance programs

• Advise on risk assessments, risk acceptance decisions, and reporting to leadership and the board; and review remediation commitments arising from assessments, customer audits and regulator inquiries. 

Minimum qualifications:

• JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar

• Fluency in security design-basis specifications, guard-force and access-control contracting, and how security schedules interact with build-to-suit, colo, procurement, and carrier agreements

• Experience with NDAA §889/§5949, CHIPS-Act guardrails, CFIUS/outbound-investment screening, and trusted-supplier or country-of-origin programs

• Comfort with NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 physical-control frameworks and the evidence and attestation process that supports customer and auditor assurance

• Ability to coordinate effectively with multiple internal legal teams, and specialized outside counsel while maintaining strategic direction 

• Strong judgment about when contractual security terms create downstream risk for Anthropic’s security posture, audit position, or operational flexibility

• Effective collaboration skills for working with the CSO’s organization, procurement, datacenter, and network teams

• Communication skills that translate security and supply-chain-integrity concepts into clear risk assessments for business stakeholders

• Genuine interest in infrastructure security and appreciation for why physical, hardware, and network security is mission-critical for frontier AI

Preferred qualifications:

• At least 10-12 years of relevant legal experience with meaningful exposure to physical and facility security contracting, hardware and supply-chain security, network security schedules, or security regulatory and assurance work for critical infrastructure

• In-house experience at cloud service providers, hyperscalers, defense and aerospace primes, telecom carriers, utilities, semiconductor companies, or datacenter operators supporting physical-security, supply-chain-security, or security-assurance programs; or U.S. government experience at DoD, DHS/CISA, BIS, or CFIUS staff

• Experience at large technology companies with first-party datacenter or hardware programs supporting security contracting from the buy side

• Law firm experience at practices with national-security, supply-chain, or critical-infrastructure specialization, particularly those who have worked on NDAA §889, CFIUS, or trusted-supplier matters

• Prior involvement in transactions requiring sophisticated understanding of secure logistics, chain-of-custody, firmware integrity, and certified media destruction

• Familiarity with CCTV/biometrics privacy regimes, executive-protection contracting, and the contractual layer of insider-risk programs

• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

About the role

Anthropic's Integrity & Compliance (I&C) function is building the systems that let us scale responsibly as our products reach more people, more enterprises, and more regulated industries. Our global compliance program is bespoke, reflecting our unique mission and position as one of the leading AI labs operating on the frontier.

Within Integrity & Compliance, the Privacy Programs pillar owns how we operationalize privacy across the company — from how we handle personal data in our products and research, to how we meet our obligations under the GDPR, CCPA, and the growing patchwork of global privacy law. We work closely with our Privacy Legal team on all privacy related matters.

We're hiring a Privacy Governance Lead to own the governance backbone of that work. You'll set the strategy for how privacy governance operates at Anthropic, define the policies and controls that translate privacy principles into operating practice, and help manage the relationship with internal and external stakeholders who depend on that framework holding up under scrutiny.

This is a foundational role with significant scope. You'll be shaping a privacy governance function from a relatively early stage, with the autonomy to set the standard and the mandate to drive cross-functional change. You'll partner closely with Privacy Legal, Security, Product, Research, and the wider I&C team, and you'll contribute directly to reporting that reaches the Audit Committee and boards. You'll report to the Head of Integrity & Compliance.

Key responsibilities

• Set the strategy and roadmap for Anthropic's privacy governance framework, including the policies, standards, and internal controls that map to GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other applicable global privacy regimes

• Own the privacy documentation lifecycle end-to-end — Data Protection Impact Assessments, Records of Processing, Transfer Impact Assessments, and other accountability artifacts — including the methodology, the tooling, and the quality bar

• Establish governance forums and approval workflows for privacy-significant product, research, and vendor decisions, and chair the forums where novel or high-risk questions are resolved

• Partner with Privacy Legal to anticipate emerging privacy law and translate new obligations into concrete control changes ahead of enforcement

• In partnership with Legal, co-lead privacy regulator engagement on governance matters, including responses to inquiries, audits, and complaints

• Oversee the management of inputs for regulatory responses with the Privacy Program pillar

• Drive privacy training and awareness strategy for engineering, product, research, and go-to-market teams, calibrated to the actual decisions those teams make

• Represent the privacy governance function in Internal Audit reporting, and in cross-functional risk and compliance forums

• Build and develop the privacy governance team over time

Minimum qualifications

• Deep working knowledge of GDPR and at least one major US state privacy regime (CCPA/CPRA, or equivalent), including how their requirements translate into operational controls at scale

• Demonstrated track record building, scaling, or transforming a privacy governance program end-to-end — policies, DPIAs, ROPAs, controls libraries, governance forums, and the operating model that supports them

• Strong written communication, with the ability to produce clear policies, board-ready reporting, and practical guidance that engineering and product teams will actually use

• Comfort owning hard cross-functional decisions and operating across legal, technical, and operational boundaries

• A privacy certification such as CIPP/E, CIPP/US, or CIPM, or equivalent demonstrated expertise

Preferred qualifications

• Senior privacy governance leadership experience at a technology company operating under multiple privacy regimes simultaneously, ideally including one with novel data processing (AI/ML, large-scale platforms, or similar)

• Direct experience engaging privacy regulators, particularly EU data protection authorities or the Irish DPC, on governance matters such as inquiries, audits, or complaints

• Familiarity with AI-specific privacy considerations: training data governance, model memorization, output filtering, and the intersection with emerging AI regulation

• Experience standing up governance functions in a high-growth environment, including building from a blank page

• Demonstrated experience presenting to Audit Committees, boards, or equivalent senior governance bodies on privacy matters

• Background that bridges privacy and broader compliance disciplines (security, regulatory, ABAC, enterprise risk management)

Our Regulatory Programs pillar is a key pillar of our overall Integrity & Compliance function and covers a range of compliance domain areas including economic sanctions, US export controls, and regulatory compliance programs stemming from global AI safety regulation.

As a Content Moderation Specialist, you'll own day-to-day program management of Anthropic's global content moderation and online safety regulatory compliance program. Online safety regulation is one of the fastest-moving areas of technology law, and AI sits squarely in its sights. Regimes including the EU Digital Services Act, the UK Online Safety Act, the Australia Online Safety Act, and a growing set of emerging frameworks globally create novel obligations for how AI products are built, deployed, and governed. You will be at the forefront of translating those obligations into a defensible, well-documented compliance program — with regulatory risk assessments as the core of the work.

This is a deeply cross-functional role. You'll partner closely with internal counsel, Safeguards, and operations teams across Anthropic to build the compliance program and frameworks that demonstrate Anthropic meets its obligations under content regulation. This is a builder's role at a company that takes integrity seriously and moves fast — you'll exercise independent judgment on issues without clear precedent and help build durable programs that let Anthropic move quickly while honoring its obligations to regulators, customers, and the public.

Key responsibilities

• Own the global content regulation risk assessment program, including the roadmap of required assessments across jurisdictions, a consistent and repeatable risk assessment methodology and framework, and the coordination of inputs, consultation, and approvals for each assessment

• Build and maintain systems and trackers to assess, operationalize, and report on relevant regulatory requirements across Anthropic's products and jurisdictions

• Partner with internal counsel, Safeguards, Policy, engineering, and operations teams to align internal practices with external commitments and legal obligations

• Maintain a controls inventory and the compliance documentation library for content regulation, ensuring documentation is drafted, reviewed by the right stakeholders, and kept current

• Conduct gap analysis when new or amended content regulations come into scope, and stand up the compliance readiness plan and workback for each

• Provide regular written program status reporting to stakeholders and leadership, proactively surfacing stalled or at-risk items with a proposed path to unblock

• Take on additional related work as the program evolves; job duties and responsibilities may change from time to time at Anthropic's discretion or as required by applicable law

Minimum qualifications

• Experience managing regulatory or compliance programs at a technology company or in a regulated industry

• Hands-on experience conducting or program-managing regulatory risk assessments, including coordinating inputs across multiple functions

• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain compliance program artifacts, including policies, risk assessment documentation, controls inventories, program trackers, and readiness plans

• A track record of executing cross-functionally, driving outcomes across legal, product, policy, and operations partners without direct authority

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including producing clear program documentation and status reporting for senior stakeholders

• Sound judgment and the ability to make decisions and move work forward with incomplete information in an evolving regulatory environment

Preferred qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in regulatory program management or content moderation compliance

• Direct experience with online safety or content moderation regulation, such as the EU Digital Services Act, UK Online Safety Act, Australia Online Safety Act, or comparable regimes (strongly preferred)

• Experience in trust and safety, online safety, or regulatory compliance at a large consumer technology platform

• Prior experience in a Big 4 or other professional services firm advising on content regulation, online safety, or platform compliance engagements

• Experience designing risk assessment methodologies or compliance frameworks from first principles

• Experience with multi-jurisdictional compliance programs in a rapidly scaling environment

• Familiarity with how generative AI products intersect with content and online safety regulation

• Own the compliance training program, working with subject matter experts across I&C to develop, deliver, and evidence training that meets regulatory requirements and embeds compliance into how the company operates

• Drive issue management across the function — ensuring findings, exceptions, and remediation are documented, owned, escalated where needed, and driven to closure

• Build the metrics, dashboards, and reporting cadences that give the Head of I&C, the broader leadership team and Internal Audit a clear view of program health, key risks, and strategic priorities

• Prepare and present compliance reporting to leadership synthesizing inputs from across pillars into clear narratives

• Coordinate the function's responses to compliance-related due diligence requests from customers, partners, and investors

About the role

Anthropic's Integrity & Compliance (I&C) function is building the systems that let us scale responsibly as our products reach more people, more enterprises, and more regulated industries. Our global compliance program is bespoke, reflecting our unique mission and position as one of the leading AI labs operating on the frontier.

Our Sanctions & Regulatory Programs pillar is a key pillar of our overall Integrity & Compliance function and covers a range of compliance domain areas including economic sanctions, US export controls, and regulatory compliance programs stemming from global AI safety regulation.

As a member of the Sanctions & Regulatory Programs team, you'll be a core driver of Anthropic's trade compliance program, covering both economic sanctions and US export controls, where the rules governing AI models and compute are still being written, and where sanctions and export control exposure runs through globally accessible APIs, downstream and embedded-partner channels, and rapid geographic expansion.

In this role you'll roll up your sleeves across the full sanctions and export controls compliance remit: partnering with internal counsel on the interpretation of applicable law, setting the policy frameworks and escalation standards that govern how Anthropic operates, and advising first-line teams (Operations, Product, Engineering, Go-to-Market, Finance, and Safeguards) on how to implement them. This is a builder's role at a company that takes integrity seriously and moves fast. You'll be at the forefront of novel trade compliance questions in artificial intelligence, exercise independent judgment on issues without clear precedent, and help build durable programs that let Anthropic move quickly while honoring its obligations to regulators, customers, and the public.

Key responsibilities

• Own the policy frameworks for Anthropic's sanctions and export controls programs, and keep them current as regulations and the business evolve

• Serve as the day-to-day subject-matter expert on international sanctions and US export controls (e.g., OFAC and other applicable sanctions regimes, EAR classification and advisory, BIS rules, deemed exports, and restricted-party / end-use and end-user controls), partnering with Trade Compliance Counsel on interpretation and with first-line teams on implementation

• Conduct sanctions and export controls risk assessments for new products, features, partner and reseller channels, and geographic expansion, and translate findings into clear control requirements

• Define screening standards, thresholds, and escalation criteria for restricted-party screening, and partner with Regulatory Operations on program design, edge-case handling, and exception review

• Advise on third-party, downstream, and embedded-partner access risk, including contractual trade controls provisions and diligence standards for resellers, marketplaces, and platform partners

• Review escalated matters from first-line teams, disposition complex screening and end-use cases, and determine when regulator engagement, licensing, or voluntary self-disclosure is warranted in partnership with Legal

• Monitor applicable regulatory developments and enforcement actions, assess impact on Anthropic, and drive any required program changes

• Conduct and coordinate testing and assurance over first-line trade compliance controls, and track findings and remediation to closure

• Develop trade compliance training and awareness content for relevant employee populations

• Prepare program reporting for I&C and Legal leadership on program health, key risks, and emerging issues

Minimum qualifications

• Substantive, hands-on experience with economic sanctions compliance (OFAC, EU, UK, and other applicable regimes), including program design, risk assessment, and screening governance, in a commercial environment

• Substantive, hands-on experience with US export controls (EAR/BIS), including classification, end-use/end-user analysis, and deemed-export assessment

About the role

Anthropic's Integrity & Compliance (I&C) function is building the systems that let us scale responsibly as our products reach more people, more enterprises, and more regulated industries. Our global compliance program is bespoke, reflecting our unique mission and position as one of the leading AI labs operating on the frontier.

Our Corporate Compliance program comprises a key pillar of our overall Integrity and Compliance function and covers a range of compliance domain areas including anti-bribery, anti-corruption, employee conduct and third party management.

As a member of the Corporate Compliance team, you'll be a core driver of a small, high-leverage team enhancing and executing on Anthropic's Corporate Compliance program. This is a generalist seat anchored by deep anti-bribery/anti-corruption expertise. You'll roll up your sleeves across the full Corporate Compliance remit — third-party risk, gifts & hospitality, conflicts of interest, outside business activities, the Code of Conduct, speak-up matters, and internal investigations — and be a subject-matter expert the business looks to on ABAC: setting the standards for third-party risk management, advising on government interactions and high-risk hospitality, and supporting Legal on compliance terms in commercial agreements. You'll also be a thought partner on how we use AI to run a modern compliance function.

This is a builder's role at a company that takes integrity seriously and moves fast. We're looking for a pragmatic, solution-oriented problem-solver who operates comfortably in grey areas, brings a beginner's mind to the job, and holds the line — clearly and credibly — where it matters. You'll work directly with legal, policy, partnerships, and go-to-market teams across multiple regions, exercise independent judgment on novel questions, and help design the frameworks that enable Anthropic to scale responsibly.

Key responsibilities

• Advise business teams on government-official interactions, gifts and hospitality, third-party risk, and related FCPA / UK Bribery Act / local-law questions

• Support Legal on anti-corruption, conflict-of-interest, and related compliance terms in commercial agreements

• Review and disposition conflicts of interest, outside business activity requests, and gifts & hospitality matters, including escalations and edge cases

• Serve as an ABAC subject-matter expert to the owner of the third-party risk management framework — advising on risk tiering, screening standards, ongoing monitoring, and escalation paths

• Conduct and support internal investigations into compliance matters, including running discrete matters end-to-end as first chair

• Develop policies, guidance, and training; partner across the business on cross-functional compliance topics

• Help design and supervise AI-assisted compliance workflows (screening, intake triage, diligence drafting), bringing judgment to what gets automated and what stays human

Minimum qualifications

• Substantial depth in anti-corruption / FCPA / third-party risk — gained in-house, at a law firm white-collar/compliance practice, and/or in government (DOJ, SEC, SFO, or similar)

• Hands-on experience running or overseeing third-party due diligence end to end: scoping, screening/adverse media, questionnaires, risk analysis, and mitigation

• Experience conducting internal investigations — scoping, evidence collection and review, witness interviews, findings memos, and remediation recommendations

• Experience advising Legal and deal teams on anti-corruption and related compliance terms and risks in commercial agreements

• Clear, practical writing and the ability to give business-usable advice

• Sound, independent judgment in ambiguous, fast-moving situations — knowing when to align, when to push, and when to escalate

Preferred qualifications

• 7+ years of relevant experience

• Range across the broader corporate compliance portfolio (Gifts & Hospitality, Conflicts, Outside Business Activities, Code of Conduct, speak-up) and the curiosity to learn what you haven't done yet

• High EQ — reads rooms and relationships well and earns trust quickly across stakeholders

• Genuine interest in using AI tools to do compliance work better

• Experience standing up or maturing a compliance program at a high-growth or technology company

• International experience — advising on market entry, partner/reseller programs, or government engagement outside the U.S.

• Significant first-chair internal investigations experience, including privileged investigations and presenting findings to senior leadership or a board/audit committee

• Familiarity with sanctions/export, political-law, or human-rights/supply-chain risk management (adjacent areas this role will touch)

Role-specific policy: For this role, we expect staff to be able to work from either our Washington, DC, San Francisco, or New York City office at least 3 days a week, though we encourage you to apply even if you might need some flexibility for an interim period of time.

About the role

As frontier AI regulation matures globally — with the EU AI Act, evolving US state and federal frameworks, the UK's framework, and emerging regimes across APAC — Anthropic needs a dedicated owner for the compliance program that translates these obligations into operational reality. We're hiring an experienced AI Compliance Officer to design, build, and run that program.

You'll sit within Anthropic's Integrity & Compliance function and partner closely with Regulatory Legal, Policy, Product, Security, Safeguards, and the Responsible Scaling team. You will own the systems, processes, controls, documentation, and cadences that make Anthropic's compliance with frontier AI regulation defensible to regulators, auditors, and our Board. This is a senior role with significant scope to shape how a leading AI lab approaches a brand-new and rapidly evolving area of regulation. You'll report to the Head of Integrity & Compliance.

Key responsibilities

• Own the design, build-out, and ongoing maintenance of Anthropic's compliance program for frontier AI regulation across the EU AI Act and other in-scope global regimes

• Serve as owner of compliance policies for AI governance regulation, and as an accountable reviewer of regulator-facing documentation

• Own the compliance controls framework, ensuring controls are appropriate, kept current, tested on a defined cadence, and mapped back to specific regulatory obligations

• Own specific second-line compliance controls directly

• Define the testing and monitoring program for AI governance controls, and lead audit and regulatory inspection readiness

• Recommend compliance readiness plans for new or amended regulations, in alignment with Regulatory Legal's gap analysis

• Present compliance program status, metrics, and material risks to leadership and the Board on a regular cadence; coordinate inputs from partner teams

• Own training content for AI regulatory obligations, partnering with Legal on sign-off where materials convey legal positions

• Build and lead a small team as the program scales

Minimum qualifications

• Experience building or running a compliance program in a regulated industry (e.g., technology, financial services or fintech, medical devices, data protection, or telecoms)

• Hands-on experience operationalizing a complex regulatory regime end-to-end, including translating legal requirements into controls, documentation, training, and reporting

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in genuine ambiguity: novel regulation, evolving regulator expectations, and a fast-moving product environment

• Experience engaging directly with regulators and building trusted relationships across jurisdictions

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly with legal, technical, and executive audiences

• Experience presenting to a Board, Audit Committee, or equivalent governance body

Preferred qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in regulatory compliance, with meaningful time spent owning a program rather than supporting one

• Direct experience with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, SB 53, or comparable AI governance frameworks

• Background in regulatory engagement, including drafting filings, responding to regulator inquiries, or supporting examinations

• Relevant certifications such as CCEP, CIPP/E, or IAPP AIGP

• Genuine interest in getting AI governance right and helping build this program from the ground up

About the role

As Commercial Counsel, Networking & Datacenter Operations for Compute and Infrastructure at Anthropic, you’ll lead legal execution for the connective tissue and the steady-state running of Anthropic’s Infrastructure. This role spans dark fiber and IRU agreements, IP transit and peering, subsea-cable capacity, network-equipment procurement, and the Operations & Maintenance (O&M), facilities-management, commissioning, decommissioning, and resilience contracting that keeps production sites online once the keys are handed over.

You’ll work in close partnership with Anthropic teammates in Datacenter Legal, Strategic Technology & Procurement, Infrastructure Security, Treasury/Risk and Public Policy, in addition to specialized outside counsel. You will serve as the primary legal owner ensuring external work product aligns with Anthropic’s commercial objectives and integrates with our overall compute and availability strategy.

Responsibilities:

• Negotiate dark fiber and IRU agreements (long-haul and metro), wavelength and lit-capacity services, IP transit and peering (settlement-free and paid), internet-exchange participation, subsea-cable capacity and landing-party agreements, carrier-hotel and meet-me-room agreements, and cross-connect MSAs

• Support the telecom regulatory interface, including FCC Section 214 authorizations, submarine-cable landing licenses and Team Telecom (EO 13913 Committee) review, the FCC’s 2025 subsea-cable security and IRU rules, private-carrier status determinations, and rights-of-way, franchise, and pole-attachment where Anthropic builds first-party fiber — working in close coordination with Infrastructure Security Legal on the national-security overlay for subsea capacity and landing-party participation

• Structure and negotiate O&M and integrated-facilities-management contracts, critical-spares and break-fix agreements, smart-hands SLAs with colo landlords, and disaster recovery and resilience contracting

• Own asset disposition, decommissioning, and media-sanitization terms, and data-hall fit-out and tenant-improvement work, in coordination with Infrastructure Security and Datacenter Legal

• Support property, builder’s-risk, business-interruption, and equipment-breakdown insurance placement with Treasury/Risk, and coordinate with Infrastructure Security Legal on guard-force, vendor-personnel, and physical-security flow-downs in O&M and facilities-management contracts

• Work closely with specialized outside counsel, ensuring their work product aligns with Anthropic’s commercial objectives

• Build and own the network and O&M contract template library, SLA-credit playbooks, and intake and approval workflows so Network and Site-Ops teams can self-serve standard transactions; train Procurement and operations partners to apply them at scale

• Manage SLA-credit claims, outage and root-cause-related disputes, warranty and break-fix claims, and pre-litigation vendor escalations, in coordination with Litigation

• Collaborate with the Compute team’s production-site and network-operations leads who handle operational execution, change management, and governance, providing legal and risk management expertise

• Understand how networking and operations legal structures interact with the compute capacity they support — availability SLAs, route diversity, and maintenance windows

• Escalate novel structures or terms that create downstream risk for Anthropic’s availability or operational flexibility; ensure vendor arrangements accommodate AI-specific requirements including high-density power, liquid cooling infrastructure, and rapid scaling capacity

Minimum qualifications:

• JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar

• Fluency in availability and SLA constructs, route diversity and how network and O&M terms interact with colo leases, build-to-suit agreements, and financing arrangements

• Experience with high-volume, template-driven, recurring vendor contracting and the discipline to keep it fast without losing control of risk

• Comfort with telecom regulatory concepts (FCC Section 214, cable-landing licenses, Team Telecom review, rights-of-way) and the operational hand-off from construction to commissioning to steady-state

• Ability to coordinate effectively with specialized outside counsel while maintaining strategic direction

• Strong judgment about when vendor terms create downstream risk for availability, security, or operational flexibility

• Effective collaboration skills for working with business teams who run production sites and the network and excellent communication skills that translate network and operations concepts into clear risk assessments for business stakeholders

• Genuine interest in digital infrastructure operations and appreciation for why network and site availability is mission-critical for frontier AI

Preferred qualifications:

• At least 10–12 years of relevant legal experience with meaningful exposure to telecom and network transactions (dark fiber, IRUs, transit, peering, subsea), datacenter operations, facilities management, or critical-infrastructure O&M contracting

• In-house experience at cloud service providers, neo-clouds, carriers, subsea-cable consortia, or datacenter operators supporting network, colo, and O&M transactions

• Experience at large technology companies with first-party backbone or production-site programs supporting network and operations transactions from the buy side

• Law firm experience at practices with telecom, technology transactions, or infrastructure specialization, particularly those who have worked on fiber, peering, subsea, or datacenter operations matters

• Prior involvement in transactions requiring sophisticated understanding of commissioning requirements, operational handoff, change management, and decommissioning

• Familiarity with insurance and risk-transfer structures used in large-scale operating infrastructure, and with international vendor contracting for non-US production sites

Role-specific policy: For this role, we expect staff to be able to work from our San Francisco, Seattle, Washington D.C., or New York office at least 3 days a week, though we encourage you to apply even if you might need some flexibility for an interim period of time.

• Work with colleagues across Legal and Compliance to design and operationalise governance, documentation, risk-management and reporting frameworks required by international content laws
• Coordinate with regional and global counterparts to ensure a consistent global regulatory posture while respecting jurisdiction-specific requirements

Minimum qualifications

• Qualification to practise law in at least one EU member state or in the UK, with good standing
• Substantive depth in international content regulation (DSA, UK Online Safety Act, or similar)
• Hands-on experience advising a technology business (in-house or at a leading law firm) on emerging regulatory regimes, including translating ambiguous or evolving rules into practical, defensible compliance approaches
• Direct experience engaging with regulators or supervisory bodies in a non-contentious capacity (e.g. the European AI Office, European Commission, national AI competent authorities, Digital Services Coordinators, Ofcom, or equivalent international supervisors)
• Strong understanding of how EU law-making and supervisory practice actually works, including delegated and implementing acts, guidelines, codes of practice, and the interplay between EU- and member-state-level enforcement
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly to technical, policy, product and business audiences
• Willingness to travel internationally as needed to support regulatory engagement

Preferred qualifications

• 10–12 years of regulatory legal experience working at a frontier AI company, large online platform, or other high-growth technology business operating under DSA, OSA, EU AI Act or equivalent international regimes

• Familiarity with adjacent regimes that frequently intersect with content regulation internationally, e.g. privacy, copyright, product safety, and consumer protection
• A track record of building constructive long-term relationships with regulators
• Comfort with ambiguity and a track record of developing novel compliance approaches in areas without established precedent

• Coordinate with finance and corporate development on strategic deal structuring
• Understand how datacenter legal structures interact with the compute capacity they will house e.g., power requirements, cooling specifications, security standards, and expansion rights all flow from decisions made elsewhere in the Compute organization
• Escalate novel structures or terms that create downstream risk for Anthropic’s operational flexibility to managers; ensure facility designs accommodate AI-specific requirements including high-density power, liquid cooling infrastructure, and rapid scaling capacity

You might be a good fit if you have:

• JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar
• At least 8 years of relevant legal experience with meaningful exposure to project finance, construction contracts, or infrastructure real estate transactions
• Fluency in commercial real estate and construction contracting; datacenter lease structures, construction risk allocation, and financing arrangements (and how they will interact)
• Experience with EPC, AIA, and design-build arrangements at scale
• Comfort with project finance structures and the interplay between lease, financing, and development agreements
• Ability to coordinate effectively with specialized outside counsel while maintaining strategic direction
• Strong judgment about when deal terms create downstream risk for operational flexibility
• Effective collaboration skills for working with business teams who handle transaction management and site selection
• Communication skills that translate complex real estate and financing concepts into clear risk assessments for business stakeholders
• Genuine interest in infrastructure development and appreciation for why datacenter capacity is mission-critical for frontier AI

Strong candidates may have:

• In-house experience at datacenter developers supporting leasing, project development, and financing transactions
• Background at infrastructure private equity firms with exposure to datacenter or similar infrastructure investments
• Experience at large technology companies with datacenter construction programs (Meta, Google, Microsoft) supporting development transactions from the buy side
• Law firm experience at practices with infrastructure finance or project development specialization, particularly those who have worked on datacenter, power, or similar infrastructure financings
• Prior involvement in transactions requiring sophisticated understanding of construction timelines, commissioning requirements, and operational handoff
