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
The Claude Partner Network is how partners build, sell, and deliver on Claude. Partner Support keeps them moving: getting set up, getting certified, registering their work, and understanding where they stand in the program. It runs in layers. Self-serve and an AI support agent handle what they can, an outsourced vendor team works the in-scope (L1) topics, and our specialists take the escalated (L2) cases that need judgment.
As our Partner Support Operations Lead, you will run partner support end to end: the team, the operating model, and the systems behind every layer. Partner Programs sets program policy. You will build and run the service levels, knowledge, quality bar, and escalation paths that put that policy into practice, and keep them reliable as volume grows.
This is a hands-on operator and builder role. You will be close enough to the queue to know why a case was hard or a rule broke, while you build the team, the vendor coverage, and the Claude-powered automation that keep support from growing in line with partner count.
Key responsibilities
- Manage the partner support team: set priorities and clear expectations, coach the Partner Support Specialists, address performance early, and expand the team if volume or coverage calls for it
- Own the support operating model: the L1 and L2 boundary, severity definitions, service levels, and escalation paths; review misrouted and wrongly escalated tickets, and fix the rule as well as the ticket
- Run the L2 queue to its service levels: coverage across shifts, one owner for every case, clean handoffs to the teams that hold the answer, and careful handling of sensitive and high-impact partner issues
- Manage the support service line with our business process outsourcing (BPO) team: work with their leads day to day and hold a stated quality bar through training and sign-off for each new cohort, the QA rubric and calibration, the weekly operating review, and corrective action when quality or coverage slips
- Own the knowledge layer: one source of truth for the help center, macros, and AI agent content, updated when a program change ships, so every layer gives partners the same answer from day one of a launch
- Own the support platform: routing, conversation attributes, views, workflows, access, and service-level reporting; keep the taxonomy short, consistent, and reportable
- Scale through self-serve, vendors, and Claude: use topic and outcome data to decide what moves to each, and build automations for tagging, routing, QA screening, and reporting; test them on real tickets and add human checkpoints where a wrong answer carries risk
- Turn what partners ask into fixes: bring the recurring causes behind ticket volume to Partner Programs, Partner Business Systems, and other owners, and follow each one through until the tickets stop
- Run support on a scorecard covering responsiveness, resolution, escalation accuracy, and quality, and use it to plan capacity and to tell the team, the vendor, and leadership what to fix next
Minimum qualifications
- Support operations experience at a technology company, including managing a small team
- Experience running an outsourced or BPO support team: onboarding waves, service levels, QA rubrics, calibration, and performance feedback
- A track record of building a tiered support model from an early stage and running it as volume grew
- Hands-on depth in Intercom or a comparable platform (Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud): routing rules, attributes, workflows, reporting, and permissions
- Experience running knowledge and content for an AI support agent, including how to review answer quality and close content gaps
- Strong analytical instincts: able to read ticket data, find the cause behind a spike or a backlog, and turn it into a fix and a capacity plan
- Sound judgment while the program is still moving: able to make the call with incomplete information, hold a policy line with a frustrated partner or an internal stakeholder, and keep the relationship intact
- A builder's mindset and clear writing: you use tools like Claude to automate your own work, and you document what you build so a new teammate or vendor lead can run it
Preferred qualifications
- Support operations experience in a B2B, partner, or channel environment
- Experience supporting a partner, reseller, systems integrator, or independent software vendor (ISV) program
- Experience building support coverage across regions, time zones, or languages
- Familiarity with Salesforce, and with the Claude API, Claude Code, or MCP

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.

Tips for Your Operations Support Lead Job Search
Quantify process improvements on your resume
Operations support lead roles reward measurable outcomes. Replace vague statements with specifics: how many direct reports you managed, what throughput increased by, or how much backlog you reduced. Hiring managers scan for evidence you can own operational accountability, not just assist it.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists operations support lead openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your resume to each sector's language
An operations support lead resume for a logistics company should reference freight coordination and SLA compliance, while one for a healthcare system should emphasize patient flow or staffing ratios. Reusing identical language across sectors signals a generic application and lowers your callback rate.
Target postings that match your team size experience
Many operations support lead postings specify the number of direct reports or the scope of the team you'll oversee. If your experience is with small teams, focus on mid-market employers rather than enterprise postings where you'll be screened out at the resume stage.
Prepare a structured problem-solving example for interviews
Interviewers for this role almost always ask about a time you resolved an operational breakdown under pressure. Prepare one concrete example using a clear situation, the action you took, and the outcome. Walk-throughs without a measurable result rarely land as well.
Negotiate scope before negotiating anything else
Before discussing compensation, clarify what 'lead' means at that company: team size, budget authority, and cross-functional decision rights. Operations support lead roles vary widely in actual seniority, and understanding the real scope prevents you from accepting a coordinator role with a lead title.
Operations Support Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most operations support leads?
The most active employers for operations support leads right now are Amazon, HCLTech, and Avari Management, and the most openings are in Texas, Florida, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to be strongest in logistics, healthcare operations, and financial services.
How many operations support lead jobs are remote?
About 47% of operations support lead openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies by industry. Sub-areas like service desk coordination, workforce scheduling, and back-office process management tend to have the highest concentration of remote and hybrid postings compared to roles tied to physical distribution or clinical environments.
How do you become an operations support lead?
Start by building two to four years of hands-on experience in an operations, logistics, or service delivery role where you coordinate workflows or support a team. Develop proficiency with the tools your target industry uses, whether that's ticketing platforms, ERP systems, or workforce scheduling software. Take on project ownership or informal team lead responsibilities to demonstrate you can manage people and processes, then apply to lead-level postings that match your industry background.
Can you get an operations support lead job with little experience?
Yes, some employers hire candidates with one to two years of operations experience into lead roles, particularly at growing mid-market companies or in sectors with high turnover like retail operations or contact center management. The strongest entry points are roles where you've already coordinated schedules, trained new hires, or served as a point of escalation, even without a formal lead title on your resume.
What does the operations support lead interview process look like?
Most employers run a phone screen focused on your operations background, followed by a panel or hiring manager interview that includes scenario-based questions about handling team conflicts, process failures, or competing priorities. Some companies add a practical component, such as reviewing a sample workflow and identifying inefficiencies. Final-round interviews typically involve a conversation with a senior operations leader or department head.
Where can I find and apply to operations support lead jobs?
You can find and apply to operations support lead jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your industry background and experience level, then apply directly to each one that fits.
