Public Policy

About the role

We are seeking a creative and technically skilled individual to develop and deliver compelling product demonstrations for policymakers, government officials, and policy influencers. As a key member of our policy team, you will play a crucial role in Anthropic's mission to build beneficial AI by effectively communicating the capabilities, opportunities, and potential risks of our technology to decision-makers and thought leaders in the policy sphere.

Your work will span a range of audiences and use cases, from demonstrating national security implications to showcasing government service applications. You'll also create demos that help policy professionals understand how to use Claude, explain various features, and illustrate how models are trained and deployed. Your demos will be instrumental in helping policymakers envision the impact of AI on their work and their constituents' lives, while also conveying the transformative potential and scalability of the technology.

This role demands a unique blend of technical understanding, policy acumen, creativity, and strong communication skills. You'll collaborate closely with our research and technical teams to build grounded and impactful demos, while also working with non-technical policy team members to ensure the demonstrations resonate with diverse policy audiences. Your ability to "show, not tell" our AI policy views through hands-on demonstrations will be key to influencing understanding and decision-making at the highest levels of government.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain a comprehensive library of recorded demos and guidebooks for various live demo flows, covering a wide range of policy-relevant scenarios and use cases
• Create demonstrations that effectively communicate frontier capabilities across enterprise, public sector, and national security contexts, highlighting both opportunities and risks
• Design demos that illustrate advances in capabilities across model generations and convey the pace of progress in the field
• Craft demonstrations that provide insights into near-future capabilities likely to have significant societal or national security impacts
• Develop accessible demos to help non-technical audiences understand the basics of how AI models function
• Translate complex technical research insights into broadly accessible demonstration material
• Collaborate with internal research and technical teams to ensure demos accurately represent our technology's capabilities and limitations
• Work closely with policy team members to identify and develop demos tailored to specific policy audiences and objectives
• Deliver live demonstrations to high-level government officials, policymakers, and influencers with clarity and impact
• Continuously innovate on demonstration techniques to effectively convey Anthropic's AI policy views through hands-on experiences

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 5+ years of experience in a technical role related to AI/ML, with a strong understanding of large language models and their applications
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Experience working with or presenting to government officials, policymakers, or in policy-adjacent roles
• Strong creative problem-solving skills and the ability to develop novel demonstration concepts
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to adjust your style for various audiences
• An understanding of the policy implications of AI technology, particularly in areas like national security, government services, and public sector applications
• Proficiency in programming languages commonly used in AI/ML (e.g., Python) and familiarity with relevant frameworks and tools
• Experience in creating technical demonstrations, presentations, or educational content
• A passion for Anthropic's mission of building beneficial AI and a keen interest in the intersection of AI and public policy
• Comfort with occasional travel to deliver demonstrations in key policy locations (e.g., Washington D.C., Brussels, London)
• A bias for action, speed, and simplicity in executing projects
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment while maintaining attention to detail and accuracy

Strong candidates may also have:

• Advanced degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related technical field
• Prior experience working in a government agency, think tank, or policy organization
• Background in user experience (UX) design or data visualization
• Familiarity with Anthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy and thoughts on AI governance and coordination

This role offers a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI technology and policy-making, playing a crucial part in shaping the future of AI governance and adoption. If you're passionate about translating complex technological concepts into impactful, accessible demonstrations that can influence policy decisions at the highest levels, we'd love to hear from you.
