Job Description
About Anthropic
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.
About the role
We are looking for an exceptional HR Business Partner to support our rapidly growing go-to-market teams at Anthropic. This highly visible, cross-functional role will work closely with GTM leadership to help build the HR policies, programs, and strategies that enable our teams to do their best work — and to do it sustainably as we scale.
You'll serve as a trusted advisor and thought partner to managers and employees alike, covering the full spectrum of HR topics from employee relations and performance management to immigration compliance and program design. You'll collaborate closely with our specialist People teams — Benefits, Compensation, People Infrastructure, Legal, and Finance — to ensure Anthropic's GTM organization has the support it needs.
Key responsibilities
- Serve as a trusted advisor to managers and leaders supporting GTM functions on HR-related topics, and help shape our human resources strategy as the company scales
- Support employees and managers on HR topics throughout their lifecycle at Anthropic, in close partnership with specialist People team functions (e.g., Benefits, Compensation)
- Partner with management to build a culture of high performance grounded in Anthropic's values, ensuring performance management and employee relations matters are handled in accordance with applicable law and best practice
- In collaboration with specialist teams, leadership, and finance, design and implement scalable programs and policies to attract, retain, and develop outstanding talent
- Partner with People Infrastructure, Legal, and Compliance to ensure the right operational foundations are in place across our offices
- Help maintain compliance with local employment law and best practices — including immigration and background check processes — working in consultation with employment counsel and specialist teams as appropriate
Minimum qualifications
- Demonstrated experience in HR, People Operations, Employee Relations, or a closely related function, with meaningful exposure to GTM or commercial teams
- Experience navigating HR and employment policies at a global company, including understanding of relevant legal and compliance requirements
- Proven ability to handle sensitive employee matters with discretion, sound judgment, and a practical, solutions-oriented approach
Preferred qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in HR, People Operations, Employee Relations, or a related field
- Background in a tech company, startup, or similarly fast-paced, high-growth environment
- Deep commitment to supporting a diverse range of people at all levels of an organization — you take the work of helping employees and managers do their best seriously
- Formal or substantive training in conflict resolution; skilled at providing confidential, practical guidance in difficult situations
- Strong working knowledge of HR best practices, with the ability to apply them thoughtfully across different cultural and organizational contexts
- A collaborative, pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys developing creative solutions and building new systems from scratch
- Energized by building and scaling processes at a company that's growing quickly — you see ambiguity as an opportunity, not an obstacle
- Genuine interest in the responsible development of advanced AI systems, and at minimum a basic curiosity about artificial intelligence and its potential applications
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
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.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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.
