Product Public Policy Manager, Privacy & Data Governance
About The Position
As a member of the Product Public Policy team, you will lead Anthropic's global privacy policy strategy. You'll work at the intersection of policy, legal, product, and research to shape complex privacy regulations, inform responsible privacy tooling and product development, and build trust with policy stakeholders worldwide. This role combines deep privacy policy expertise with strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, technical acumen, and strong collaboration skills. As Anthropic's privacy policy lead, you will define our global privacy policy strategy at a critical inflection point for AI regulation. You'll work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI capabilities and evolving privacy frameworks, translating between technical systems, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. This role requires deep privacy expertise combined with the ability to operate in highly ambiguous 0→1 environments where you'll set direction, build consensus, and drive implementation across legal, product, research, and go-to-market teams. Privacy is foundational to building trustworthy AI systems. You'll lead high-priority initiatives while thinking creatively about novel privacy challenges that don't fit traditional frameworks, such as data access for AI agents, data minimization in foundation model development, and product-embedded user controls.
