  • Have a track record of effective, information-rich advocacy with Korean government authorities at the federal and/or state level
  • Have experience analyzing legislation and engaging in regulatory processes
  • Are energized by agency — you will be the first policy hire in Korea and will be building the operation from scratch
  • Enjoy drafting and executing complex policy campaigns that move the needle
  • 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
  • Have demonstrated an ability to quickly get up to speed on complex technical areas and policy dynamics

  • Experience working with international companies or organizations
  • Academic or think tank background in AI policy or related fields
  • Experience in both government and private sector roles
  • Familiarity with intelligence and security cooperation frameworks

What the job covers

  • Conduct comprehensive mapping of key Korean AI policy stakeholders and build strategic relationships with government officials, think tank researchers, and civil society leaders across the national and, where appropriate, sub-national governmental levels
  • Brief a diverse set of policy and research actors looking to better understand AI safety and AI policy opportunities in the Korean context
  • Convene diverse stakeholders and speak at policy events such as research announcements, discussion panels, or workshops on AI safety topics
  • Analyze emerging legislation and develop Anthropic’s engagement strategy, including preparing substantive policy submissions and response documents
  • Support senior colleagues in external engagements by preparing meeting briefs and taking action on follow-up requests
  • Develop new programming and generate opportunities for Anthropic to regularly engage with Korean policymakers, think tanks, and non-profit organizations
  • Collaborate with policy and technical teams to translate Anthropic research into concrete policy proposals, stakeholder education, and thought leadership opportunities tailored to the Korean regulatory environment
  • Develop and amplify public submissions, responses to requests for information (RFI), and policy memos written by Anthropic to drive positive change in AI policy
  • Partner with non-profit organizations and academic researchers to publish discussion papers and policy memos on how to enable responsible AI research and development
  • Develop and execute a convening strategy, including workshops or panels that position Anthropic as a thought leader in AI safety and governance in South Korea
