About the role

As an Accommodations Partner at Anthropic, you will own the end-to-end reasonable accommodation process, ensuring employees and candidates receive fair, compliant, and thoughtful support. You will serve as the subject matter expert on complex, high-stakes accommodation requests and applicable disability law across the jurisdictions where Anthropic operates, leading the interactive process with employees, managers, and HR, and partnering closely with Recruiting (for candidates), Benefits, Employment Legal, and external partners to identify effective solutions.

This role requires balancing hands-on casework with process-building, as you will manage individual accommodation requests directly while also helping shape the frameworks, documentation, and cross-functional coordination needed to scale this function globally. You'll partner closely with People Partners, Benefits, Recruiting, Employment Legal, and Occupational Health resources across regions to navigate sensitive medical and disability-related matters with care, discretion, and sound judgment. As we continue to scale rapidly, you'll help build the foundations of an accommodations function that can grow with the organization.
Key responsibilities
  • Interactive Process Management - U.S.: Serve as the primary point of contact for reasonable accommodation requests from U.S.-based employees and candidates, leading the interactive process from initial request through resolution. Partner directly with employees, managers, People Partners, and recruiters to understand functional limitations, evaluate potential accommodations, and reach determinations that are both legally sound and operationally workable.
  • Global Accommodation Request Management: Own accommodation requests from employees and candidates outside of the United States, serving as the initial point of contact and primary owner, in partnership with regional People Partners and Employment Legal.
  • Complex Case Management: Own complex, high-stakes, or legally ambiguous accommodation requests personally, including those involving conflicting medical documentation, competing business needs, or heightened legal risk, while providing guidance to People Partners and managers on more straightforward cases.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner closely with the internal Benefits team on accommodation requests intersecting with leave, disability, or benefits eligibility. Interface with external partners, including accommodation platform vendors, to support timely and accurate case review.
  • Policy & Program Development: Along with the broader ER/People team, build scalable, repeatable processes and documentation for accommodation requests across regions. Develop frameworks that support consistent, defensible decision-making while remaining responsive to the nuance of individual cases.
  • Education & Enablement: Own education strategy for accommodations best practices, delivering training and guidance to People Partners, managers, and interviewers, and on how to support the process appropriately while maintaining confidentiality.
  • Documentation & Recordkeeping: Ensure accommodation requests, supporting materials, and determinations are documented and handled appropriately, maintaining accurate records, files, and confidentiality throughout the process.
  • Data & Insights: Track accommodation metrics and trends to identify patterns, inform policy decisions, and proactively flag systemic issues or risk areas.
Minimum qualifications
  • Have deep working knowledge of the ADA and applicable state disability accommodation laws, and experience applying that knowledge to real accommodation processes and decisions, including a full understanding and working knowledge of the interactive process.
  • Have demonstrated experience independently managing complex, high-stakes, or legally sensitive accommodation cases
  • Are skilled at managing highly sensitive medical and disability-related information with discretion, empathy, and sound judgment
  • Excel at communicating clearly and building trust with employees, managers, and HR at all levels
  • Are comfortable with ambiguity and can create structure where none exists
  • Care deeply about fairness, equity, and creating an accessible, supportive workplace
  • Are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
Preferred qualifications
  • Have 5+ years of progressive experience managing reasonable accommodation requests, ideally in a corporate or HR setting
  • Familiarity with Disclo and Sparrow, or similar accommodation case management platforms
  • Experience managing international accommodation requests or familiarity with multi-country accommodation frameworks
  • Background working at technology companies or startups
  • Experience helping build or scale an accommodations function
  • Knowledge of or interest in AI safety and the unique people challenges in frontier AI development

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.

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.
