AI company Anthropic opening SG office in Oct; hiring 10 Singapore job roles across applied AI, finance, sales, marketing, and research
The AI firm is building a local team to work with companies and public agencies, with ten roles already advertised across key functions
Anthropic, an AI company, is set to open a fifth Asia-Pacific office in Singapore in October. This expansion follows similar moves by OpenAI and Google DeepMind, which have also established AI labs in the region. The announcement, made in September, highlights Singapore's strong demand for Anthropic's Claude AI tools. The country ranks second globally in Claude.ai usage per capita, with usage five times higher than expected based on population size.
Companies across various sectors, from start-ups to large enterprises and government agencies, have shown significant interest in Anthropic's services. To capitalize on this demand, Anthropic has already appointed Chris Ciauri as managing director of international operations and has filled ten job roles across finance, sales, applied AI, marketing, and economic research.
A managing director, Dale Finlay, has been appointed to lead Anthropic's operations in ASEAN, with Singapore as his base. Finlay, formerly at Google Cloud, brings extensive experience in enterprise, financial services, and AI. Anthropic has not yet disclosed the exact location of the new office, but it is known to have leased approximately 100 workstations at The Executive Centre in Ocean Financial Centre, Collyer Quay.
This move underscores Singapore's growing appeal as a hub for AI firms, providing them with local expertise and creating opportunities in technical, commercial, and research fields.
