Head of Comms, Brand, & Marketing Recruiting

Anthropic•San Francisco, CA

16d•$230,000 - $295,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a Head of Comms, Brand, & Marketing Recruiting to lead recruiting across three of Anthropic's most visible functions. This is a senior leadership role that requires exceptional stakeholder partnership, operational rigor, and the ability to serve as connective tissue across functions that shape how Anthropic shows up in the world. You'll partner directly with our Chief Communications Officer, Head of Brand, and Head of Marketing — three functions operating under two C-level leaders. These partnerships require a highly consultative approach: deep understanding of each function's talent needs, the EQ to navigate competing priorities, and the executive presence to serve as a true strategic advisor. You'll lead a team of recruiters and recruiting leads across these domains, setting the standard for what high-touch, high-value recruiting looks like at Anthropic. The impact of this role extends beyond your own team — by establishing best practices and frameworks for consultative, white-glove recruiting, you'll help peer leaders across GTM build those same flavors into their higher-volume motions. As Comms, Brand, and Marketing hiring expands into EMEA and APAC, you'll partner with international recruiting leaders to ensure global alignment and consistency.
