Immigration Specialist, M&A

About the role

Anthropic is seeking an M&A Immigration Specialist to lead the immigration strategy behind our corporate transactions. As Anthropic grows through acquisitions and acqui-hires, you'll be the subject-matter expert ensuring that global talent moves seamlessly through every deal - from initial due diligence through close and beyond. You'll serve as the immigration advisor to our Corporate Development, Legal, and People teams, translating complex immigration questions into clear, actionable guidance for non-specialists and designing the integration plans that bring acquired employees onto Anthropic with continuity, certainty, and care. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role at the intersection of immigration law, corporate transactions, and the employee experience.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the immigration advisor to Corporate Development, Legal, and senior leadership throughout the deal lifecycle, partnering with external counsel on novel or complex transaction-related filings
• Design and execute integration plans for transferring foreign nationals, ensuring continuity of status through close, and providing white-glove support so that acquired employees experience a smooth, well-communicated transition
• Maintain compliance with domestic and international employer obligations across transaction structures, and own documentation and record-keeping for acquired entities and populations (E-Verify, myUSCIS, and related systems)
• Build the playbooks, frameworks, and policies that make M&A immigration repeatable and scalable as Anthropic's transaction volume and international footprint grow

Requirements

• Deep expertise in business immigration as it applies to mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructuring - including successor-in-interest analysis, status portability, and the immigration mechanics of entity changes
• Demonstrated ability to manage critical, deadline-driven processes across multiple concurrent, confidential transactions with precision and care
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex, high-stakes immigration questions into crisp guidance for deal teams, executives, and individual employees alike
• Sound, independent judgment - you'll operate with significant autonomy on time-sensitive matters where the right answer isn't always in a playbook
• 8+ years of business immigration experience, with meaningful exposure to M&A or corporate transaction immigration work
• Experience advising in a fast-paced, high-growth, or startup environment
• Background in scaling an immigration function or building processes from the ground up
• A genuine passion for immigration work and for the people behind every case
• The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
• For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
• Annual Salary:
• $235,000 - $300,000 USD
• Logistics
• Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
• Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
• 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.
