Anthropic, a leading artificial intelligence company, has reportedly offered a salary of approximately $190,000 for an executive assistant position in its London office. The posting sought a "highly organized, detail-oriented, and self-starting administrative business partner" to assist senior go-to-market leaders. The role involved managing scheduling, travel logistics, the executive's inbox and communications, expense claims, and other office tasks.
The job description also emphasized the need for outstanding attention to detail, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to anticipate team needs while ensuring precise, error-free execution. However, the job posting has since been removed from Anthropic's website. Social media users have pointed out the apparent irony of a prominent agentic AI firm hiring a human worker for a task that an AI agent could theoretically perform autonomously.
