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. Within Integrity & Compliance, the Privacy Programs pillar owns how we operationalize privacy across the company — from how we handle personal data in our products and research, to how we meet our obligations under the GDPR, CCPA, and the growing patchwork of global privacy law. We work closely with our Privacy Legal team on all privacy related matters. We're hiring a Privacy Governance Lead to own the governance backbone of that work. You'll set the strategy for how privacy governance operates at Anthropic, define the policies and controls that translate privacy principles into operating practice, and help manage the relationship with internal and external stakeholders who depend on that framework holding up under scrutiny. This is a foundational role with significant scope. You'll be shaping a privacy governance function from a relatively early stage, with the autonomy to set the standard and the mandate to drive cross-functional change. You'll partner closely with Privacy Legal, Security, Product, Research, and the wider I&C team, and you'll contribute directly to reporting that reaches the Audit Committee and boards. You'll report to the Head of Integrity & Compliance.
