Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the Role: 

Anthropic is seeking an experienced recruiting leader to scale our G&A, Communications, and Policy recruiting function during a period of unprecedented growth. In this role, you will develop and implement innovative recruiting strategies that align with our mission to create safe, reliable AI systems while building out world-class G&A, Communications, and Policy teams. You will work closely with key leadership partners to understand their unique needs and create data-driven recruiting processes that identify and attract exceptional talent.

This role will report to our Head of Talent.

  • Design and implement a comprehensive G&A, Communications, and Policy recruiting strategy that scales with Anthropic's rapid growth and evolving needs around Claude and future AI products
  • Build and lead a high-performing recruiting team focused on G&A, Communications, and Policy roles, including establishing hiring processes, metrics, and best practices
  • Partner closely with G&A, Comms and Policy leadership to deeply understand technical and business requirements of their worlds to attract the very best in the field

  • Establish recruiting operations infrastructure including systems, tools, and dashboards to drive efficiency and provide actionable insights across the recruitment function
  • Drive diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives throughout the recruiting process
  • Provide strategic guidance to leadership on G&A, Communications, and Policy organizational design, compensation, and talent market trends.
  • Build strong partnerships across the organization, particularly with People Operations, Finance, and Legal teams

You may be a good fit if you:

  • Have 10+ years of recruiting experience with at least 3 years leading corp functions/G&A recruiting teams, preferably in high-growth technology companies
  • Have experience scaling recruiting functions from the ground up, including establishing processes, systems, and teams
  • Show proven ability to build diverse, equitable, and inclusive teams
  • Are skilled at using data and analytics to drive recruiting strategy and demonstrate impact

Logistics

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.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
