Based on the DOL prevailing wage for this occupation and worksite, a base salary of $209,144 would place this position at wage Level IV. That figure is within the posted range, and I'd like to target it. This role classifies under "General and Operations Managers" for prevailing-wage purposes.

About the role

  • Procurement Operations is the front door for buying at Anthropic.
  • You will be the person who makes buying software feel simple to the teams who depend on it and reliable to the Finance stakeholders behind it.
  • This is a high-volume role with an accounting core.

Responsibilities

  • Own the purchasing process
  • Manage a high volume of purchase requests, renewals, and license changes each month across the organization, keeping speed and accuracy high at the same time.
  • Serve as the primary procurement partner for the teams buying in your categories, guiding requesters from initial request to signed agreement and issued purchase order.
  • Review every purchase request in your portfolio for the things that matter downstream: the right vendor record and contracting entity, complete commercial documents, correct spend categorization and service dates, and the approvals the purchase actually needs.
  • Partner with Security to run a vendor security review on every new tool and at every renewal, and hold the line that nothing goes live without one.
  • Launch and track contract review with Legal, keep it moving, and confirm the executed agreement supports the purchase order before it is issued.
  • Own the open purchase order book: receipts recorded against actual delivery, periodic reviews, stale line cleanup, coding corrections, and timely closures, so PO, receipt, and invoice agree.
  • Manage renewals, true ups, and seat count changes over the life of each agreement.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of owning a high-volume purchasing portfolio end-to-end in a procure-to-pay and intake platform.
  • Solid working knowledge of accrual accounting as it applies to purchasing: accruals and reversals, service period and cutoff, prepaid versus expense, and GL and cost center coding.
  • You can explain how a purchase order becomes an entry in the general ledger.
  • Experience buying and managing software or SaaS at scale, including seat-based, usage-based, and tiered subscription billing models.
  • Experience owning the tool and vendor lifecycle end to end, from intake through security review, contracting, renewal, and sunset, with the judgment to know when to push a request through and when to slow it down.
  • Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Nice to have

  • 7+ years of procurement operations, purchasing, or vendor operations, including time supporting IT, engineering, or business systems teams.
  • Background in accounting, accounts payable, or a month-end close process.
  • Direct experience with Zip, Workday Financials, and Ironclad.
  • Prior ownership of month-end accrual review or open PO reconciliation for a large, variable spend portfolio.
  • Experience with software asset management or license optimization, including identifying underused or redundant tools.
  • Experience designing tiered intake or approval frameworks that sped up low risk purchases without weakening controls.
  • 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

Compensation

  • $190,000 - $230,000 USD
  • Structure purchase orders so they match how the vendor bills (seat-based, usage-based, tiered subscription, or flat annual fee) and how Accounting needs to see the spend, with the right GL account, cost center, and service period on every line.
  • Code every purchase order correctly at creation, including GL account, spend category, cost center, and service period, and understand how each choice lands in the financials (expense versus prepaid, annual versus monthly recognition).

Benefits

  • Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
