Policy Analyst

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.

• Contribute to the team's cyber product policy artifacts (usage policy language, help-center and enforcement guidance, launch policy notes) and help keep them consistent with the constitution and access tiers
• Analyze Anthropic's constitution and cyber-related usage policies, and check that enforcement decisions and safeguards match what they say; maintain a running gap log and propose text fixes
• Work with the threat intelligence and enforcement teams to ensure cyber safety standards are met; review a sample of enforcement decisions against policy text on a regular cadence and report drift
• Coordinate cyber policy inputs to model releases and to regulatory requirements: prepare the cyber policy section of launch/model-card reviews and regulator pre-briefs, in support of the Senior Cyber Policy Lead
• Support Anthropic's access-requirements policy and contribute to consolidation of the controlled-access framework across existing and emerging access programs
• Help keep Anthropic's cyber-related policy commitments current with shifting industry and regulatory standards, and ensure they map cleanly to our technical safeguards
• Draft inputs to reporting for partners and regulators
• Help translate technical evaluation and safeguard work into policy positions and internal guidance
• Engage closely with technical teams to understand the capabilities of probes and classifiers relevant to access policy

• Demonstrated ability to write clear policy analysis (professional or academic)
• Familiarity with how AI developers or platforms enforce usage policies, or with cybersecurity policy, standards, or regulatory frameworks (e.g., usage policies/AUPs, trust and safety enforcement, NIST CSF, CVD)
• Ability to read and interpret technical security material, such as vulnerability reports or threat assessments
• Ability to work across teams (threat intelligence, enforcement, engineering, policy) and communicate clearly in writing

• Annual Salary: $190,000 — $285,000 USD
• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• 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.
