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.
As the Life Sciences Industry Advisor at Anthropic, you will serve as the technical and scientific face of Claude to the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, contract research organizations, and research institutions. You'll combine deep life sciences domain expertise with technical credibility to help customers envision, architect, and realize transformational AI solutions across the drug discovery and development lifecycle — while building Anthropic's reputation as the trusted AI platform for one of the most rigorous and regulated industries in the world.
This role sits at the intersection of scientific leadership, customer engagement, product strategy, and internal enablement. You'll work directly with Chief Scientific Officers, Chief Medical Officers, Heads of R&D, Chief Digital & Data Officers, Heads of Regulatory Affairs, and computational and translational science leaders at major biopharma and research organizations to design solutions that address their most critical challenges — from literature synthesis and hypothesis generation to bioinformatics, clinical trial design, and regulatory submission. Your insights will flow directly to Product and Research, shaping Claude's roadmap for life sciences. Equally important, you'll enable Anthropic's GTM teams with deep domain expertise, thought leadership content, and strategic guidance.
With AI poised to compress drug development timelines and the industry seeking partners who understand the science, the workflows, and the regulatory bar, you'll play a pivotal role in establishing Anthropic as the AI platform of choice for life sciences worldwide.

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.

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.
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.
