About the job

About the role

As Product Counsel, you will be a hands-on legal partner to the teams building Claude for consumers and businesses. You'll work across Claude's apps, subscriptions, growth programs and enterprise offerings, moving to wherever the need is greatest. You'll learn from experienced product lawyers, get close to the product quickly, and take on more ownership as you go. This is a generalist role for someone who wants range, likes a fast pace, and is ready to do the routine work and the novel work with the same care.

Key responsibilities

  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Design and other cross-functional teams to give clear, practical legal guidance from early ideas through launch
  • Review product launches across Claude's consumer and enterprise offerings, spotting issues early and helping teams find a path forward
  • Advise on subscriptions, pricing, promotions, billing and other growth programs, including consumer protection and marketing rules
  • Support enterprise and regulated-industry products on topics such as admin controls, customer commitments and enterprise readiness
  • Draft and review user-facing terms, disclosures, in-product copy and marketing claims
  • Pull in privacy, commercial, IP, safety and other specialists, then return one integrated answer to your product partners
  • Build guides, templates and AI-powered workflows so routine questions get answered quickly and the team can focus on novel ones
  • Pick up new areas as priorities shift, and help with incidents and escalations when they come up

Minimum qualifications

  • Hold a law degree (JD, LLB, or equivalent) and meet the local licensing requirements to work as in-house counsel where you'll be based
  • At least 4 years of relevant legal experience, with exposure to technology, consumer or regulated products
  • Experience advising business or product teams directly, not only other lawyers
  • Working knowledge of at least two of: consumer protection, privacy, advertising and marketing law, technology transactions, IP, or regulated industries
  • Curiosity about how AI products work, and the ability to pick up technical concepts quickly
  • A habit of making a clear recommendation, even with incomplete information
  • Comfort moving between assignments as priorities change, with no job too big or too small
  • Clear, concise writing that non-lawyers can act on
  • Openness to feedback and a track record of improving quickly
  • Experience using AI tools in your legal work, or a strong interest in learning to do so
  • Empathy and a service orientation, with a real commitment to Anthropic's mission

Preferred qualifications

  • In-house product counsel experience, or a secondment with a product team
  • Experience with subscription businesses, promotions, or consumer billing
  • Experience supporting enterprise SaaS or regulated customers such as healthcare or financial services
  • Experience building playbooks, self-serve guidance or legal automation

Compensation & benefits

Annual Salary: $265,000—$335,000 USD. Anthropic offers 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.
