As a member of our Litigation and Regulatory team, you will take primary responsibility for managing government and regulatory investigations, inquiries, and information requests directed at Anthropic, from initial contact through resolution. These matters may come from various sources, such as federal agencies, state attorneys general, and international regulatory bodies, and could range from informal inquiries to formal civil investigative demands, subpoenas, and multi-agency investigations. You will lead our response with minimal supervision, manage outside counsel, and work cross-functionally to gather information efficiently and with minimal disruption to the business.

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched August 29, 2026 and last changed by Anthropic on August 25, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
