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. Our Sanctions & Regulatory Programs pillar is a key pillar of our overall Integrity & Compliance function and covers a range of compliance domain areas including economic sanctions, US export controls, and regulatory compliance programs stemming from global AI safety regulation. As a member of the Sanctions & Regulatory Programs team, you'll be a core driver of Anthropic's trade compliance program, covering both economic sanctions and US export controls, where the rules governing AI models and compute are still being written, and where sanctions and export control exposure runs through globally accessible APIs, downstream and embedded-partner channels, and rapid geographic expansion. In this role you'll roll up your sleeves across the full sanctions and export controls compliance remit: partnering with internal counsel on the interpretation of applicable law, setting the policy frameworks and escalation standards that govern how Anthropic operates, and advising first-line teams (Operations, Product, Engineering, Go-to-Market, Finance, and Safeguards) on how to implement them. This is a builder's role at a company that takes integrity seriously and moves fast. You'll be at the forefront of novel trade compliance questions in artificial intelligence, exercise independent judgment on issues without clear precedent, and help build durable programs that let Anthropic move quickly while honoring its obligations to regulators, customers, and the public. Key responsibilities Own the policy frameworks for Anthropic's sanctions and export controls programs, and keep them current as regulations and the business evolve Serve as the day-to-day subject-matter expert on international sanctions and US export controls (e.g., OFAC and other applicable sanctions regimes, EAR classification and advisory, BIS rules, deemed exports, and restricted-party / end-use and end-user controls), partnering with Trade Compliance Counsel on interpretation and with first-line teams on implementation Conduct sanctions and export controls risk assessments for new products, features, partner and reseller channels, and geographic expansion, and translate findings into clear control requirements Define screening standards, thresholds, and escalation criteria for restricted-party screening, and partner with Regulatory Operations on program design, edge-case handling, and exception review Advise on third-party, downstream, and embedded-partner access risk, including contractual trade controls provisions and diligence standards for resellers, marketplaces, and platform partners Review escalated matters from first-line teams, disposition complex screening and end-use cases, and determine when regulator engagement, licensing, or voluntary self-disclosure is warranted in partnership with Legal Monitor applicable regulatory developments and enforcement actions, assess impact on Anthropic, and drive any required program changes Conduct and coordinate testing and assurance over first-line trade compliance c
