You will serve as the subject matter expert on complex, high-stakes accommodation requests and applicable disability law across the jurisdictions where Anthropic operates, leading the interactive process with employees, managers, and HR, and partnering closely with Recruiting (for candidates), Benefits, Employment Legal, and external partners to identify effective solutions.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary point of contact for reasonable accommodation requests from U.S.-based employees and candidates, leading the interactive process from initial request through resolution. Partner directly with employees, managers, People Partners, and recruiters to understand functional limitations, evaluate potential accommodations, and reach determinations that are both legally sound and operationally workable.

Own complex, high-stakes, or legally ambiguous accommodation requests personally, including those involving conflicting medical documentation, competing business needs, or heightened legal risk, while providing guidance to People Partners and managers on more straightforward cases.
Partner closely with the internal Benefits team on accommodation requests intersecting with leave, disability, or benefits eligibility. Interface with external partners, including accommodation platform vendors, to support timely and accurate case review.
Build scalable, repeatable processes and documentation for accommodation requests across regions. Develop frameworks that support consistent, defensible decision-decision-making while remaining responsive to the nuance of individual cases.
Own education strategy for accommodations best practices, delivering training and guidance to People Partners, managers, and interviewers, and on how to support the process appropriately while maintaining confidentiality.
Ensure accommodation requests, supporting materials, and determinations are documented and handled appropriately, maintaining accurate records, files, and confidentiality throughout the process.
Track accommodation metrics and trends to identify patterns, inform policy decisions, and proactively flag systemic issues or risk areas.
