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. The Governance & Oversight pillar is the operational and structural backbone of Integrity & Compliance. It owns the frameworks, policies, controls testing, training, GRC tooling, and reporting that hold the rest of the function together — and that allow Anthropic to demonstrate accountability to employees, customers, regulators, and the public as the company scales.
We're hiring a Compliance Governance & Oversight Lead to set the strategy for how compliance governance works at Anthropic, own the systems and reporting that give leadership a clear line of sight into program health, and partner with the leads of our other I&C pillars — Privacy Programs, Regulatory Programs, and Corporate Compliance — to ensure their work is supported by a coherent operating model. This is a senior leadership role in a function being built from the ground up. You'll have significant autonomy to shape the design of the pillar, and you'll build and develop the team that runs it. You'll report to the Head of Integrity & Compliance.
Key responsibilities
- Set the strategy for compliance governance and oversight at Anthropic, defining how policies, controls, training, and reporting come together into a coherent operating model across the I&C function
- Own the policy lifecycle end-to-end — drafting standards, approval workflows, version control, attestation, and accessibility — and ensure Anthropic's compliance policies are current, coherent, and demonstrably communicated
- Lead selection, implementation, and ongoing administration of the GRC platform that serves as the central system of record for I&C, including risk tracking, control documentation, issue management, and workflow
- Design and run the controls testing and monitoring program across all I&C pillars, partnering with pillar leads to verify controls are operating as intended and to surface gaps before they become issues
- Own the compliance training program, working with subject matter experts across I&C to develop, deliver, and evidence training that meets regulatory requirements and embeds compliance into how the company operates
- Drive issue management across the function — ensuring findings, exceptions, and remediation are documented, owned, escalated where needed, and driven to closure
- Build the metrics, dashboards, and reporting cadences that give the Head of I&C, the broader leadership team and Internal Audit a clear view of program health, key risks, and strategic priorities
- Prepare and present compliance reporting to leadership synthesizing inputs from across pillars into clear narratives
- Coordinate the function's responses to compliance-related due diligence requests from customers, partners, and investors
- Manage the I&C budget and vendor portfolio, providing the administrative foundation for the function's operations
- Build and develop the Governance & Oversight team as the pillar's scope and headcount grow, and embed a culture of practical, well-evidenced compliance across the company
Minimum Qualifications
- Significant experience in compliance, risk, internal audit, or a closely related field, including leadership of a compliance operations, governance, or oversight function
- Demonstrated track record building or substantially scaling a compliance program — policies, controls testing, training, GRC tooling, and reporting — end-to-end, ideally from an early stage
- Deep working knowledge of compliance program fundamentals: policy management, training, controls testing, issue management, and program reporting
- Experience selecting, implementing, and operating GRC technology platforms, and using technology to make compliance more effective and less burdensome for the wider organization
- Track record of preparing and presenting compliance reporting to senior leadership, Internal Audit, and/or board-level governance bodies
- Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate substantive compliance requirements into operating processes that engineering, product, and go-to-market teams will actually adopt
- Demonstrated ability to lead through influence across a senior, cross-functional stakeholder group, and to make and defend cross-functional decisions
- Experience building and developing teams
Preferred Qualifications
- 10+ years of relevant experience
- Prior experience at a Big 4 or comparable compliance consulting or advisory professional services firm, in addition to in-house leadership experience
- Experience leading compliance governance at a high-growth technology company, ideally one operating across multiple regulatory regimes
- Exposure to AI-specific compliance considerations and the emerging regulatory landscape for AI
- Experience standing up or transforming a compliance function in a hyper-scaling environment, including building from a blank page
- Direct experience presenting to or supporting Audit Committee or board-level reporting on compliance matters
Role-specific policy:
For this role, we expect staff to be able to work from either our Washington, DC, San Francisco, or New York City office at least 3 days a week, though we encourage you to apply even if you might need some flexibility for an interim period of time. 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
$270,000—$345,000 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.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us.
To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Search Science & Research Jobs in Washington DCScience & Research H-1B1 Singapore Sponsorship Jobs in Washington DC: Frequently Asked Questions
Which science and research companies sponsor H-1B1 Singapore visas in Washington DC?
In Washington DC, H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship in science and research is most common among federal contractors, policy research institutions, and university-affiliated research centers. Organizations with consistent Labor Condition Application filings in scientific and technical occupations include research consultancies, government-adjacent think tanks, and biomedical research institutions operating in the DC metro area. Reviewing DOL OFLC disclosure data by employer gives the clearest picture of filing history by role type.
Which cities in Washington DC have the most science and research H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship jobs?
Washington DC itself concentrates the most science and research H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship activity, particularly around federal research corridors and university campuses. The broader DC metro area extends sponsorship opportunities into neighboring jurisdictions, but roles tied to federal agencies, policy institutes, and research hospitals are densest within the district. Positions in environmental science, public health research, and social science are especially concentrated in this core geography.
What types of science and research roles typically qualify for H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship?
Roles that qualify for H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship must meet the specialty occupation standard, requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. In science and research, qualifying positions commonly include research scientists, data analysts, environmental scientists, epidemiologists, policy researchers, and laboratory specialists. Roles where any degree field would be accepted regardless of the discipline generally do not meet the specialty occupation requirement under USCIS guidance.
How do I find science and research H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship jobs in Washington DC?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search, letting you filter science and research jobs in Washington DC by H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship history drawn from DOL Labor Condition Application data. Rather than guessing which employers are open to sponsorship, you can see verified filing records by employer and occupation. This is the most direct way to identify DC-area research employers who have actively sponsored H-1B1 Singapore workers in scientific and technical roles.
Are there state-specific or industry-specific considerations for H-1B1 Singapore sponsorship in Washington DC science roles?
Washington DC's science and research sector is heavily shaped by proximity to federal agencies, meaning many roles involve government contracts or grants. Employers holding federal contracts are required to use E-Verify, which is relevant for work authorization verification. Additionally, some federally funded research positions may carry security clearance requirements that interact with nonimmigrant visa status in ways worth clarifying directly with an employer before applying.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B1 Singapore science & research jobs in Washington DC?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
