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. About The Role
Anthropic's mission is to ensure the world safely makes the transition through transformative AI. That only works if the benefits of frontier AI reach the majority of the world's population — not as an afterthought, but on the same level and with the same agency as anywhere else. Delivering on that in emerging markets takes more than government relations. It takes a coalition: governments, civil‑society, NGO partners, multilateral institutions, and local implementers. We’re hiring a Policy Programs and Partnerships Manager to build and work with these stakeholders in developing markets. In this role, you will engage with governments directly; lead meetings with senior officials, shape policy positions, and represent Anthropic in regulatory conversations. You will also build the partnership portfolio that turns policy intent into delivered impact: identify, structure, and manage relationships with civil‑society organizations, multilateral bodies, foundations, and in‑country implementers. You’ll work closely with Public Policy, Beneficial Deployments, Commercial and GTM teams, Communications, and Legal. What You’ll Do
Government and policy
Lead meetings with senior government officials, regulators, and multilateral bodies in priority markets — representing Anthropic independently. Own a set of priority‑market government relationships from first meeting through to agreement and delivery. Partnerships
Develop strategy for engagement with multilateral institutions (UN agencies, development banks, regional bodies) on AI access, safety, and development. Build and manage a portfolio of civil‑society, foundation and other regional partnerships and engagements; identify the right organizations, structure the collaboration, and work on the implementation plans. Design and stand up joint programs with partners: scope, deliverables, governance, and measurement. Program execution
Develop key initiatives as part of the Global Impact work‑stream plan and drive execution across a globally distributed team. Contribute to Anthropic’s presence at major multilateral summits and regional convenings. You May Be a Good Fit If You
Have 10+ years in international policy, development, diplomacy, or partnerships with clear evidence of operating internationally, not just advising on it. Have personally represented an organization to ministers, directors‑general, or equivalent senior officials. Have built and managed partnerships with civil‑society organizations, multilateral institutions, or foundations. Have worked directly with governments and implementing partners in emerging markets to drive impact. Combine external presence with operational rigor. Have high tolerance for ambiguity and operate with high autonomy across time zones. Strong Candidates May Also Have
Experience at a multilateral institution (UN system, development bank, regional body), a major foundation or international NGO, a foreign ministry, or the international/government‑affairs function of a technology company. Substantive familiarity with AI policy topics including data sovereignty, compute access, local‑language models, AI‑for‑development. A track record structuring multi‑party coalitions or consortiums where government, civil society, and private sector had to work together. Working proficiency in a language relevant to priority markets. Experience inside a fast‑growing technology company and comfort with the pace that comes with it. Location and logistics
Ideally EMEA alongside the Global Impact Lead or SF with the HQ team. Expect meaningful international travel (30–40%) and working hours that bridge European and US Pacific time zones. Minimum education and training
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. Benefits
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.
