You will tackle novel legal questions around model outputs, product features, and AI training data, and help establish copyright frameworks that will shape the future of AI development and deployment. You will also advance Anthropic's views on copyright and AI through external engagement, including policy papers and in-person engagements.

Exceptional communication skills with a track record of cross-functional collaboration, particularly with technical and policy stakeholders

At least 10 years of relevant legal experience advising on copyright issues for technology companies or AI/ML products (in-house experience preferred)

Demonstrated experience advising in-house teams on machine learning development lifecycles, AI products, and the unique copyright challenges they present

A passion for AI's potential while maintaining a realistic assessment of its risks, with a commitment to building ethical and trustworthy systems
