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.

The Role

The Policy Campaign Manager will own and operationalize the campaign plan for one or more policy priorities of the Americas Policy Team across North America. You will drive execution across government relations, communications, coalitions, external organizations and public affairs campaigns. Your job is to make sure every function is coordinated, every deliverable lands on time, and Anthropic is advancing its position through every available channel. Think of it as product management for policy outcomes. This is an orchestration and execution role, not a lobbying or policy development role, but you will partner closely with those functions. You will drive coordinated, multifaceted campaigns to help Anthropic's external teams achieve policy objectives, pulling together the right people, the right substance, and the right sequencing across every channel. Anthropic is equal parts research lab, policy think-tank, and technology startup. We care deeply about safe development of AI systems, and build partnership with governments through proactive, opinionated, substantive policy conversations. This is a unique opportunity to shape how AI policy develops at a critical moment, translating Anthropic's technical and policy expertise into real-world impact.

Ensure the Americas team has what it needs from Central Policy and Product Public Policy: positions, talking points, one-pagers, technical briefings, and policy analysis
