Anthropic is kicking off a hiring spree for its European locations with more than 100 new roles expected across London and Dublin.
The Californian AI unicorn behind Claude, founded by former OpenAI employees, said it would be hiring across sales, engineering, research and business operations, with its UK and Ireland offices receiving the bulk of new staff.
The move follows the opening of an Anthropic research facility in Zurich and the hiring of Guillaume Princen as the company’s head of Europe, Middle East and Africa.
“Our expansion across Europe and the UK comes at a critical moment when businesses need advanced AI capabilities that also prioritize security and privacy,” said Princen.
“European organisations are increasingly choosing Claude for its intelligence, speed, and industry-leading coding abilities, while consumers—particularly the tastemakers—are drawn to its certain je ne sais quoi in conversation and thoughtful design.”
The Parisian executive previously ran the European operations at Stripe, before serving as CEO of French fintech Mooncard.
“EMEA has been central to our vision from the beginning. Since launching Claude in Europe last year, we’ve seen rapid organic growth amongst businesses and consumers alike, confirming the region’s strategic importance to Anthropic’s future,” said Anthropic co-founder and president Daniela Amodei.
“We’ve long planned to deepen our investment here, and finding the right leadership in Guillaume was the critical piece that allowed us to move forward with the thoughtful expansion we envision.”
Anthropic is targeting European businesses to integrate its Claude AI model. Among its UK clients is advertising and PR group WPP.
The Google and Amazon-backed firm also struck a partnership earlier this year with the British government to support the integration of AI into the public sector.
Under the agreement, made in February, Anthropic will share insights into how AI can support public services and scientific breakthroughs.
