Senior Compliance Program Manager, Political Law

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.

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.

• Hands-on ownership of political law compliance programs — corporate PAC, campaign finance, pay-to-play preclearance and covered-persons tracking, lobbying registration and reporting, government gift and ethics rules — or a closely comparable multi-jurisdiction regulatory program
• Track record building a program, not just operating one — designing preclearance or disclosure workflows, registers, filing calendars and controls from scratch or through a major redesign
• Fluent enough to do the work directly and experienced enough to manage outside counsel and compliance vendors doing it — scoping, feeding inputs, checking quality, holding deadlines
• Working fluency in the federal framework (FECA/FEC, LDA/HLOGA, House and Senate gift rules) and the shape of state and local variation; knows when a question is a legal call and hands it off cleanly
• Strong project management and cross-functional execution with Policy/Government Affairs, Legal, Finance and executive stakeholders; clear, brief, business-usable writing
• Sound judgment and discretion handling politically and personally sensitive information
• 7+ years of experience in compliance program management
• Experience in a corporate government affairs compliance function, a political law practice or compliance vendor, or a financial-services pay-to-play program (SEC Rule 206(4)-5, MSRB G-37, CFTC)
• Range across the broader corporate compliance portfolio — gifts and hospitality, conflicts of interest, outside activities, anti-corruption — and appetite to learn what you haven't done yet
• Exposure to non-US lobbying transparency regimes (EU Transparency Register, German Lobby register, Irish Regulation of Lobbying Act, UK)
• Hands-on with compliance tooling (case management, GRC, disclosure platforms, workflow automation) and real interest in using AI to run compliance work better
• Experience at a high-growth or technology company, or otherwise operating lean without large-team infrastructure
• Relevant certification (e.g., CCEP) or paralegal/JD background is a plus, not a requirement; this is a program role, not a counsel role
