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
As a Strategy & Operations Lead for Marketing at Anthropic, you'll be a key part of the team that keeps our entire marketing organization running, spanning brand, enterprise, creative and performance marketing. You'll work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and analytics, helping build the systems and rhythms that let a fast-growing team move quickly and stay aligned as we introduce Claude and Anthropic to the world.
This is a senior, high-autonomy role for someone who can see around corners and turn ambiguous, high-level strategy into concrete plans that ship. You'll project-manage some of marketing's most high-stakes, high-visibility work and quarterback complex special projects that cut across the org. You'll partner with marketing leadership, Finance, Legal, Creative Studio, and external agencies to run planning and budgeting, sharpen how we measure impact, and rally teams to get things done.
This is a team effort. You'll sit within a strategy and operations group that divides and conquers, so you should be as happy driving your own slice as partnering on the rest. We're looking for a leader who can walk into a complex, fast-changing environment, quickly figure out what matters, and move it forward with very little direction.
What makes this role exciting
You'll help shape how Anthropic tells its story to the world, building the operational foundation that lets every part of our marketing team do its best work. You'll touch all of marketing, from brand and enterprise to product and developer, with real influence over how the whole org plans, spends, and measures itself. This is a chance to build alongside a sharp team at one of the most important companies in AI, with significant room to grow your scope and step into broader leadership as we scale.
Key responsibilities
- Drive annual and quarterly planning alongside the rest of the strategy and operations team, turning company and marketing strategy into clear plans with owners, timelines, and budgets
- Project-manage high-stakes, high-visibility projects from start to finish, keeping many moving parts and busy senior leaders aligned and on schedule
- Quarterback complex, cross-org special projects, pulling in the right people, setting the plan, and driving to the finish even when no single team owns the work
- Partner on budget planning, forecasting, and management across marketing teams, making sure spend maps to the highest-priority work
- Help build the operating rhythm the marketing org runs on, including how teams plan, prioritize, track progress, and report results, designed to scale as we grow
- Build analytics and reporting that show how marketing is performing and give leaders the insight to make sharper calls
- Drive cross-functional programs across Marketing, Finance, Legal, Creative Studio, and agency partners, keeping fast-moving work coordinated and unblocked
- Partner with marketing leadership and Finance on resource and headcount planning, building the trust to influence without owning the teams directly
- Find friction and remove it, so teams can move faster and focus on the work only they can do
- Help define the metrics and measurement that tell us whether our marketing investments are working
Minimum qualifications
- Marketing operations, strategy, business operations experience, working in high-growth B2B tech or strong tech consumer brands
- Strong project management instincts, with a track record of steering high-stakes, high-visibility projects and keeping many moving parts and busy senior leaders aligned
- A history of seeing around corners, anticipating what a fast-scaling team will need before it becomes a problem and getting ahead of it
- Proven ability to turn ambiguous, theoretical strategy into actionable plans, and to rally people across an org to execute quickly
- Deep experience building and scaling operating processes from scratch in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
- Strong analytical and financial chops, with hands-on experience in budgeting, forecasting, and annual planning
- The ability to navigate a complex organization, build influence without authority, and manage relationships with senior leaders across Marketing, Finance, and the wider company
- Comfortable operating with little direction and driving outcomes end to end, and equally comfortable dividing and conquering as part of a team rather than being the sole owner of everything you touch
- Fluency with marketing technology and project management tools
Preferred qualifications
- 10+ years in marketing operations, strategy, business operations, or a related field
- Familiarity with marketing measurement and attribution methods
- A background spanning more than one marketing discipline, such as brand and performance, or enterprise and product
- Experience scaling operations through rapid company growth

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.

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.
