We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications.

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.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science.

As part of our growing investment in building capabilities for drug discovery and development, we're looking for an exceptional biotech operator to help accelerate research in these areas.

Our north star is to speed up progress in drug development by an order of magnitude, and this role is central to that goal: bringing sharp scientific judgment and operational expertise to identify where AI can have the greatest impact, and the drive to turn those insights into real results.

This role is for an entrepreneurial operator with proven hands-on experience generating and translating therapeutic hypotheses in a biotech setting.

You should be self-directed and multi-disciplinary - equally comfortable shaping the strategic direction of our life sciences work, partnering closely with our research, product, and go-to-market teams, or working hands-on with Claude, including tools like Claude Science, to explore hypotheses, design and analyze research, and demonstrate what's newly possible for scientists.

Identify and prioritize the areas where AI can most meaningfully accelerate life sciences research
