Research Operations, External Artifacts

About Anthropic

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.

About the role

Every time Anthropic releases a model, we publish a system card: a long-form technical document that describes the model's capabilities, safety properties, evaluation results, and the reasoning behind our deployment decisions. System cards are some of the most consequential and widely read documents we produce, and they are one way we hold ourselves publicly accountable for the safety claims we make.

We're hiring a Research Operations Specialist to help own system card production. You'll work embedded with research and safety teams through each launch, coordinating contributions from dozens of researchers, holding the schedule and the open-threads list, and making sure the document ships on time as a single, accurate, internally consistent whole. Along the way you'll do real editorial work: turning results and researcher notes into clear, honest prose and pushing back when an explanation doesn't hold together.

System cards sit within a wider family of external safety artifacts, including risk reports and Responsible Scaling Policy updates. Part of this role is keeping the system card consistent with those documents so that Anthropic's public safety story reads as one coherent account rather than several.

This role sits in Research Operations and works closely with Alignment, Safeguards, Frontier Red Team, and capabilities research. The core of the job is part project management, part translation: keeping a complex, many-author, hard-deadline document on track while making frontier safety research legible to researchers, policymakers, journalists, and the public — without sacrificing precision.

Key responsibilities

• Drive system card production end to end — own the timeline, the contributor list, the open-threads tracker, and the definition of done for each launch

• Coordinate dozens of contributors across Alignment, Safeguards, Frontier Red Team, Interpretability, and capabilities; chase drafts, resolve differences of perspective, seek ground truth, and run final document beautification

• Edit, and sometimes write, content; work directly with researchers to turn their results, notes, and plots into clear, scientific, non-marketing prose and maintain Anthropic's voice across sections drafted by many different people

• Guard accuracy and consistency; catch terminology drift, claims that subtly contradict each other, and discrepancies between internal communications and system card drafts

• Keep the system card aligned with related artifacts; track what's being said in risk reports, RSP disclosures, and other safety documentation so the system card stays consistent with them, and flag conflicts early
