About The Position

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems. Anthropic is looking for highly organized, strategic Recruiting Operations Specialists to join our growing team. As we scale, you'll work closely with recruiting leaders, cross-functional partners, and teams across the organization to ensure our recruiting function operates effectively-and evolves to meet business needs. You'll drive strategic initiatives, manage the rhythms that keep our team aligned, and build the operational infrastructure that enables recruiting at scale. This role combines project management expertise with recruiting operations knowledge: owning complex projects end-to-end while ensuring compliance, data integrity, and operational excellence across our global recruiting function. We're hiring multiple Recruiting Operations Specialists. Some will focus more heavily on transformation initiatives; others will focus on planning and operations. All will need to flex across both.
