Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
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.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Share this job
The world is making the shift to cleaner energy, slowly. The planet is changing, fast.
That’s why Akaysha builds, owns, and operates the most powerful mega-scale battery storage solutions of today, and it’s why we’ll continue to build more. But what we are really building is a better future for everyone we share the planet with.
With a 30GWh+ portfolio spanning APAC, the Americas, and the EU and a global team of over 200, should we slow down, or should the world catch up?
As Senior Compliance Counsel, you’ll join the team supporting Akaysha’s operations as a global corporation across every phase of the asset lifecycle. Recently, the Legal, Risk & Compliance Pillar has delivered significant outcomes across regulatory tenders, financing facilities, and large-scale asset construction.
Building on this momentum, the Senior Compliance Counsel plays a pivotal role in setting the enterprise compliance strategy, leading and developing the enterprise compliance team, and ensuring the Board, Management and employees understand and meet their regulatory obligations through effective frameworks, systems, training, oversight and reporting across Australia and all other jurisdictions where Akaysha operates.
The role works closely with the General Counsel, the Principal of Risk & Insurance, and relevant functions across the organisation to develop, implement, and monitor compliance frameworks, systems, policies, procedures, and regulatory obligation registers in alignment with sound governance, compliance, and risk management practices.
This role provides the flexibility to be based at Akaysha’s Melbourne (HQ), or Sydney Office with the option to work in a hybrid capacity – spend time in the office, and at home.
Your experience will be critical to:
- Develop, implement and continuously improve Akaysha’s enterprise compliance framework and strategy, ensuring alignment with global best practice and scalability across all asset lifecycle phases.
- Lead, coach and build capability within the compliance team, and act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and operational teams.
- Identify, map and oversee regulatory obligations and compliance registers across all jurisdictions, including engaging with regulators and coordinating responses to audits and reviews.
- Oversee and guide compliance with energy market rules, trading obligations, competition laws, data protection, and other regulatory domains.
- Coordinate compliance with the Australian SOCI Act and equivalent regimes elsewhere, including developing policies, conducting monitoring and assurance activities, and overseeing training and incident management.
Making an impact in this role will rely on experience across the following areas:
- Enterprise Compliance Framework Design
Ability to design and operate an integrated, risk-based compliance framework aligned to global standards (e.g. ISO 37301) and suited to regulated energy and infrastructure businesses.
- Competition & Antitrust Compliance
Understanding of competition and antitrust laws relevant to energy markets and trading activities, with the ability to implement preventative controls and training.
- Energy Market Rules Compliance
Deep understanding of energy market rules, participant obligations and compliance requirements applicable to BESS assets and market participation.
- Trading Compliance
Expertise in compliance frameworks for trading activities, including regulatory reporting.
We’re committed to staying ahead of the curve and consider our people to be Akaysha’s greatest asset.
To foster career growth and well-being, we offer professional development support that includes an annual development allowance and additional paid time off, a flexible-use wellbeing allowance, paid parental leave, competitive compensation, performance-based bonuses and long-term incentives.
We believe diverse teams build better solutions for the planet and its people. We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to do their best work, no matter their background, identity, or lived experience.
Be part of today’s most tomorrow company.
