Strategist for Policy Campaigns

About the Position

We are looking for a strategist to join the Policy Campaigns team within Anthropic's Public Policy team. The Policy Campaigns team turns the company's policy priorities into active campaigns: research and polling, messaging, coalitions, paid media, and external execution. We're hiring a strategist to develop and execute paid media campaign strategy, manage agencies, and measure the success of our advocacy campaigns in the US and in priority markets abroad.

Responsibilities

• Design paid and digital campaign strategies for legislative and policy goals, including objectives, audiences, messaging, tactics, phasing, and budget
• Develop campaign messaging and tactics with the Campaigns team, executives, Public Affairs, and Communications, and make sure paid media carries the core message
• Spot where a campaign could conflict with Anthropic's other policy, commercial, or international priorities, and resolve those tensions before launch
• Direct creative and media-buying agencies: set strategy and briefs, scopes and budgets, hold timelines, and hold the work to a high standard
• Run several campaigns at once across time zones and agencies: own the timelines, workplans, budgets, and status reporting, and keep partners in the US and abroad aligned
• Build rapid response capabilities with Policy, Marketing, Legal, and Communications so campaigns can respond quickly in changing environments
• Set success measures before launch, report results plainly, and adjust strategy based on what works
• Work cross-functionally to find the stories and moments that make policy arguments concrete for policymakers and opinion formers

Requirements

• Experience running digital content and paid media for a corporate affairs team, political campaign, advocacy organization, public affairs firm, or issue campaign, including owning a media budget
• Experience managing creative and media-buying agencies, including briefs, scopes, budgets, and performance reviews
• Experience running campaigns aimed at policymakers, key opinion formers, or other influential audiences
• Experience managing several campaigns or projects at once, with multiple agencies and stakeholders in different time zones
• Experience building campaign reporting in spreadsheets or dashboards

Nice to Have

• Experience managing state or federal legislative campaigns
• Experience running campaigns inside a large organization or coalition with competing priorities
• Working knowledge of AI safety and technology policy issues
• Experience running campaigns in markets outside the US
• Hands-on familiarity with ad platforms and targeting, such as Meta, LinkedIn, and programmatic buying

Salary

The annual compensation range for this role is $265,000 - $295,000 USD.

We Offer

• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Optional equity donation matching
• Generous vacation and parental leave
• Flexible working hours

How We're Different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
