Job description
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 Integrity & Compliance (I&C) function is building the systems that let us scale responsibly as our products reach more people, more enterprises, and more regulated industries. Our global compliance program is bespoke, reflecting our unique mission and position as one of the leading AI labs operating on the frontier. The Governance & Oversight pillar is the operational and structural backbone of Integrity & Compliance. It owns the frameworks, policies, controls testing, training, GRC tooling, and reporting that hold the rest of the function together — and that allow Anthropic to demonstrate accountability to employees, customers, regulators, and the public as the company scales.
