About the role
As Policy Analyst, LATAM you will ensure effective execution of complex cross-functional plans that advance key company priorities across Latin America, help the company assess and engage in emerging policy opportunities, and address challenges throughout the region.

Collaborate with policy and technical teams to translate Anthropic research into concrete policy proposals, stakeholder education, and thought leadership opportunities relevant to LATAM audiences
-
Draft and amplify public submissions, responses to requests for information (RFI), and policy memos written by Anthropic to drive positive change in AI policy across the region
You may be a good fit if you:

Have experience working in a fast-paced, cross-functional and global team
-
Are motivated to better equip LATAM governments to understand the pace of progress in the AI field and develop effective policies
-
Have a deep curiosity for frontier technological research and are eager to work closely with technical colleagues
Strong candidates may also:
-
Have extensive experience engaging government regulatory authorities in Brazil, Mexico, and other major LATAM markets from a private sector perspective
-
Have demonstrated an ability to quickly get up to speed on complex technical areas and policy dynamics
-
Have a background in entrepreneurship; this role will suit people who are excellent at networking from a 'cold start' and who figure out unconventional and effective ways to garner policymaker attention

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.

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.

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.
