About the role

The People PMO is a nimble team of organizational architects who take the company's most pressing people and culture challenges from 0 to 1 and we need a senior operator who doesn't just run deals but also defines how this company does the People side of M&A.
This is a role for someone who can operate on year-long horizons with minimal direction, drop into deal-level detail when timelines compress, and represent Anthropic credibly in rooms where the deal is on the line.

Own the People-side M&A program end-to-end: strategy, operating model, standards, and outcomes across all deals, from earliest deal discussions through 90-day integration and retro.
Build credibility and operating rhythms with senior stakeholders across Corp Dev, Legal, Finance, and People so the right people mobilize quickly when timelines compress
Build the infrastructure that doesn't exist yet - intake processes, diligence checklists, integration tracking, retention frameworks, post-close retros - and make it durable enough that it scales beyond your personal involvement

Experience across program management, HR/People operations, and M&A integration, including direct ownership of People workstreams across multiple transactions - not just participation in one
Level up the broader People team's ability to execute M&A confidently through documentation, retros, and coaching-by-doing
Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

10+ years across M&A integration, program management, and/or HR/People operations, with ownership and scope that has grown deal over deal.
Stood up an M&A People integration function or playbook from scratch at a fast-growing technology company
Led People integration for international or multi-entity acquisitions, including immigration, employment legal, and entity-setup coordination
Managed several concurrent transactions, or a deal pipeline, rather than a single deal at a time
Experience guiding or mentoring other program managers, or leading pods/working teams without formal management authority
Worked closely enough with Corp Dev to be trusted in target-facing conversations (management meetings, retention discussions, close-day communications)
What makes this role unique at Anthropic
This is a chance to define how a frontier AI company does the People side of M&A during hyper-growth.

Know how to set direction and standards for work you don't personally execute, and keep the bar high with people who don't report to you

$310,000 - $380,000 USD
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
However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Sequence interdependent workstreams (immigration, offers, entity setup, onboarding, benefits, internal comms) correctly under compressed timelines, and keep the acquiree experience strong even when plans change
Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

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 do sponsor visas!
