Operations Lead Jobs in San Francisco, CA

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

Anthropic's Investor Relations team manages our relationships with shareholders, prospective investors, and the broader financial community, and helps educate investors on Anthropic's mission, strategy, and financial performance. As the Operations Lead for the team, you'll own the administrative and operational backbone that keeps IR running smoothly, from coordinating investor meetings and preparing the team for them to managing the vendors and logistics behind high-profile events and visits.

You'll work directly with the Head of Investor Relations and the IR team, and cross-functionally with Finance leadership, Finance & Strategy, Capital Markets, Accounting, Corporate Legal, Communications, and Workplace, to make sure every investor touchpoint reflects well on Anthropic. Because the function is still being built, you will often be creating the process rather than following one. This role suits someone who is highly proactive, thrives on structure, anticipates needs before they arise, and enjoys being the person who makes complex logistics look effortless.

Key responsibilities

• Schedule and coordinate investor calls, meetings, and briefings, managing calendars across multiple stakeholders and time zones, and helping the team prioritize when investor demand exceeds our capacity
• Partner with internal teams and on-site staff to plan and execute investor events, visits, and other in-person engagements
• Prepare the team and executives for investor conversations and capturing follow-ups afterward
• Own vendor relationships for IR-related services, from sourcing through ongoing management of scope, budget, and performance
• Help the team set agendas and priorities, tracking deliverables and following up to ensure commitments are met on time
• Maintain and organize IR records, the investor contact database and interaction history, and shared materials so information stays easy to find and current, and help select and run the tools the team uses to track shareholder engagement
• Serve as a primary point of contact for internal stakeholders and external partners on logistical and administrative questions
• Build and document the recurring processes a growing IR function needs, from meeting request intake through post-meeting follow-up, and keep improving how the team operates day to day
• Partner with Corporate Legal and Communications on the handling and review of investor-facing materials, so information moves through the right checks
• Support ad hoc projects as investor relations priorities evolve

Minimum qualifications

• Experience coordinating complex calendars, meetings, or events across multiple stakeholders
• Experience managing vendor relationships, including scope, budget, and performance tracking
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated judgment handling sensitive, confidential, and market-sensitive information with discretion
• Comfort operating autonomously in a newly formed team, including building processes and systems that do not exist yet

Preferred qualifications

• Experience supporting an investor relations, capital markets, or finance leadership function, ideally in a company that was growing quickly
• Familiarity with the needs of external-facing, high-stakes engagements
• Experience operating in a fast-paced, high-growth company environment
• A proactive, detail-oriented approach to identifying and solving problems before they become issues
• Familiarity with investor relations or CRM tools for tracking shareholder engagement, and comfort using AI tools to work faster
• Curiosity about financial markets, technology, and AI, and interest in how a research-driven company explains itself to investors

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.

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.
