## About the role

We are seeking an experienced public opinion researcher to build and expand Anthropic's in-house polling and research function. This role will be fundamental to understanding how key audiences — from policymakers and third-party groups to the general public — perceive and respond to Anthropic's policy positions, messages, and campaigns. This is a foundational role: you'll establish the research function from the ground up, with high autonomy and limited precedent. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Experience designing and executing public opinion research, including survey and questionnaire design, sampling approaches, and message testing
- Ability to analyze quantitative and qualitative polling data and translate findings into clear, decision-ready written recommendations
- Experience selecting, briefing, and managing external polling or research vendors
- Strong writing and presentation skills, including distilling complex research for senior, non-technical audiences
- 8+ years of professional experience in political or public opinion research, ideally spanning multiple campaign cycles and policy environments
- Corporate public affairs experience, ideally in a highly scrutinized or regulated industry
