Head of Procurement

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 seeking a Head of Procurement to build and lead our procurement function at Anthropic. This role will be responsible for developing our procurement strategy, building a high-performing team, and driving material cost savings across the organization. As we scale our operations, you will play a crucial role in ensuring our vendor agreements are competitive, cost-effective, and aligned with our company's needs and values.

Responsibilities: 

  • Build and lead procurement team, including hiring and developing talent
  • Drive strategic sourcing and vendor pricing negotiations
  • Develop and implement procurement policies, processes, and controls
  • Partner with Finance & Strategy on spend analysis and optimization
  • Lead improvement of procurement technology and automation initiatives
  • Drive continuous improvement in procurement operations
  • Manage relationships with key vendors and internal stakeholders
  • Implement vendor management framework
  • Partner with Legal on contract management processes
  • Lead integration of Claude AI into procurement workflows

You may be a good fit if you have:

  • 10+ years of procurement/strategic sourcing experience
  • 3+ years of people management experience
  • A track record of building and scaling procurement functions in high-growth environments
  • Strong experience negotiating enterprise software and service agreements
  • Deep knowledge of procurement systems and processes
  • Experience implementing procurement automation/technology
  • Strong analytical and financial modeling skills
  • Excellent stakeholder management abilities
  • A background working with executive leadership

Deadline to apply: 

None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. 

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:
$230,000$300,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.

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.

Come work with us!

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
