Policy Research, Strategic Advisory

Anthropic · San Francisco, CA

Anthropic is an artificial‑intelligence company that focuses on building reliable, interpretable and steerable AI systems with an emphasis on safety and societal benefit. The Strategic Advisory internship sits within Anthropic’s Public Policy team and is designed for a policy generalist who will shape and execute the firm’s policy research strategy. Day‑to‑day work involves framing policy questions, coordinating with research, legal, communications and regional policy groups, and guiding cross‑functional processes to arrive at evidence‑backed positions. Interns will design research plans, collaborate with internal economics and societal‑impact teams, manage commissioned studies, and build partnerships with external academics, think tanks and consultants. They will also translate technical findings into briefs, talking points and economic‑impact narratives for federal, state and international audiences, and help scale these efforts as Anthropic expands globally. The role suits candidates who have experience conducting policy research across multiple issue areas, can assess the quality of evidence, excel at clear writing, and thrive in ambiguous environments where they must drive projects to completion while aligning diverse stakeholder interests.
