About The Position

As a Strategy & Operations Manager on the Product Partnerships team at Anthropic, you'll support a cross-functional team in creating, researching, and implementing data partnership strategies to improve Anthropic's products. You'll serve as a strategic enabler and operational executor—solving ambiguous problems, providing analytical rigor on critical decisions, and building scalable systems that empower the team and accelerate Anthropic's data & product partnerships. Your ability to think through partnership strategies, run data-driven analyses, and think broadly about the technology and content ecosystem will serve you well in this role. This is a great fit for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can seamlessly pivot between high-level strategy and detailed execution, and gets energy from solving problems that don't have an established playbook.

Collaborate effectively across functions, working well with teams across Product, Research, Legal, Finance, and external partners
