Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has reportedly advertised for an executive assistant position at its London office with an annual salary of approximately $190,000 (roughly 145,000 euros). The job posting, which has since been removed from the company's website, described the role as supporting "senior go-to-market" leaders.
Key responsibilities for the position included scheduling, managing travel logistics, overseeing an executive's inbox and communications, and processing expense claims. The role also required "outstanding attention to detail, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to anticipate needs across teams while ensuring responsive, error-free execution."
