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
Procurement Operations is the front door for buying at Anthropic. We sit inside Finance Operations and own the path from "I need to buy something" to a signed agreement, an accurate purchase order, and clean spend data at month end.
We are hiring a Procurement Operations Business Partner to own that path for the teams that keep Anthropic's offices, people, and physical spaces running. Workplace covers real estate, office build outs and leases, furniture and equipment, facilities services, maintenance, and food and beverage. Security covers physical security: guard services, access control and badging, cameras, and security consulting that protect our offices and people. People covers recruiting agencies and recruiting operations, HR systems, benefits and Total Rewards vendors, and training and development.
You will be the person who makes all of it 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. You ensure every purchase in your portfolio is coded, dated, received, and accrued correctly, so spend is right in the books every month. Expect a steady queue of requests, statements of work, change orders, and renewals, and expect to be the person Accounting trusts on all of it.
We use Claude as part of our daily workflow and are looking for someone who wants to help define what an AI native procurement operations function looks like, including how AI changes intake, document review, vendor coordination, and requester support.
Responsibilities
Own the purchasing process
- Manage a high volume of purchase requests, statements of work, change orders, and renewals each month across Workplace, Security, and People, keeping speed and accuracy high at the same time.
- Serve as the primary procurement partner by guiding requesters from initial request to signed agreement and issued purchase order.
- Review every purchase request 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.
- Determine what each request requires before it can move, whether that is a statement of work, an amendment, a lease review, a privacy review, or a third party risk assessment, and route it to the right reviewers the first time.
- Partner with Privacy, Security, and Third Party Risk on vendors that handle employee or candidate data or have physical access to our offices, such as badging and camera systems, background check providers, and on site service staff. Hold the line that nothing goes live without the review it needs.
- Launch and track contract review with Legal and outside counsel, keep it moving, and confirm the executed agreement supports the purchase order before it is issued.
- Structure purchase orders so they match how the vendor bills (fixed fee, milestone or progress billing, time and materials, per placement, per head, or recurring monthly service) and how Accounting needs to see the spend, with the right GL account, cost center, and service period on every line. Manage change orders, renewals, and closures over the life of each agreement.
- Handle the mechanics that come with physical work and goods: multi line quotes, deposits, lead times, receiving, and asset handoffs for furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
- Know where a purchase belongs. Not everything in these categories should run through a purchase order, and you help requesters tell the difference between a contract that needs Procurement and spend that belongs on a card.
Financial completeness and accuracy
- 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: capitalized build out and equipment versus operating spend, deposits and prepaids versus expense, and lease versus non lease costs.
- Work the hard cases with Accounting: progress billed construction, retainage, partially delivered milestones, guard services billed in arrears against changing staffing schedules, placement fees tied to start dates and guarantee periods, credits and true ups, and change orders that land mid month.
- Understand what a contract actually commits us to, including term, termination for convenience, and notice periods, so firm commitment reporting reflects the real exposure.
- 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.
- Serve as the first line reviewer for month end accruals on your portfolio, gathering estimates from vendors and budget owners for variable spend and confirming or correcting proposed amounts so Accounting can close on time.
- Partner with Accounts Payable to resolve invoice holds, PO mismatches, and receiving questions so vendors are paid on time and spend lands where it belongs.
- Support audit and reporting requests that touch your portfolio, including commitment schedules and control evidence, with data you can stand behind.
Be the front door
- Be visible and responsive in your teams' Slack channels and office hours; answer routine purchasing questions quickly and escalate real blockers with context.
- Apply purchasing policy consistently and explain the why, including approval thresholds, signature authority, and when an exception is and is not available.
- Translate procurement, legal, privacy, and finance requirements into plain language for Workplace, Security, and People teams, and carry their operating reality back to those teams so controls fit the work. An office opening date, a guard post that has to be staffed tonight, or a recruiting search that has to start this week are real constraints, and you plan around them.
- Keep a regular check in with your highest volume teams so upcoming office projects, renewals, staffing changes, and searches are visible early and nothing urgent arrives as a surprise.
Continuous improvement
- Maintain the playbooks, intake guidance, and standard operating procedures for your portfolio so the path is repeatable and does not live in one person's head.
- Identify manual steps, repeat questions, and failure points and fix them, including where Claude and workflow automation can take work off requesters and the team.
Minimum qualifications
- 5 to 7+ years of procurement operations, purchasing, or vendor operations, including time supporting Workplace or Facilities, Security, or People teams.
- 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, capital versus operating spend, and GL and cost center coding. You can explain how a purchase order becomes an entry in the general ledger.
- Experience managing services vendors on master agreements with statements of work and change orders, where scope moves and the contract, the PO, and the invoice have to stay in sync.
- Experience with facilities, real estate, or construction purchasing, including milestone or progress billing and receiving against physical delivery.
- Working knowledge of how contract review, privacy and security review, and financial controls fit together in a purchase, and the judgment to know when to push a request through and when to slow it down.
Preferred qualifications
- Experience with office build outs, leases, or fixed asset purchasing, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and working alongside Lease Accounting or Fixed Assets.
- Experience buying physical security services or systems, such as guard services, access control, or video surveillance.
- Experience with recruiting agencies, contingent workforce, or HR and benefits vendors, including the privacy review that comes with employee and candidate data.
- 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 designing tiered intake or approval frameworks that sped up low risk purchases without weakening controls.
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary:
$190,000 - $230,000 USD
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
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
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. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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 Procurement Business Partner Job Search
Quantify savings and efficiency in your resume
Procurement business partner roles expect you to show commercial impact, not just duties. Replace vague bullet points with concrete outcomes: cost reductions achieved, supplier consolidations completed, or contract cycle times shortened. Hiring managers in this field read numbers before they read job titles.
Highlight cross-functional stakeholder experience
Many procurement business partner postings screen for candidates who've worked alongside finance, legal, and operations teams, not just within a purchasing department. Call out specific projects where you aligned internal stakeholders on sourcing decisions or category strategies.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists procurement business partner openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter postings by category ownership scope
Some procurement business partner roles own indirect spend, others own direct materials, and a few own both. Read each posting carefully for category scope before applying, since your resume and cover letter should mirror the specific spend categories the employer cares about.
Prepare a business case for each interview
Interviewers for procurement business partner positions often ask you to walk through a past sourcing decision as if presenting to a CFO. Practice explaining your make-versus-buy rationale, your supplier selection criteria, and the financial outcome in under three minutes.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base pay
Procurement business partner offers often include performance bonuses tied to savings targets or supplier scorecards. Ask the hiring team how bonuses are calculated and what a realistic payout looks like, so you can compare offers on total value rather than base salary alone.
Procurement Business Partner Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most procurement business partners?
Anthropic, Evonik, and Boston Consulting are hiring the most procurement business partners right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, California, and Georgia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These organizations tend to hire across both direct and indirect spend categories, so candidates with broad category experience have the strongest fit.
How many procurement business partner jobs are remote?
About 83% of procurement business partner openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's reliance on digital collaboration tools and cloud-based procurement platforms. Indirect spend and category strategy roles tend to offer the most location flexibility, while direct materials roles more often require on-site presence near manufacturing facilities.
How do you become a procurement business partner?
Start with a degree in supply chain, business administration, or finance, then build hands-on experience in purchasing, sourcing, or vendor management roles. Pursue a recognized certification such as the CPSM or CIPS to signal professional credibility. Progress by taking on category ownership, developing supplier strategies, and partnering directly with business stakeholders on spend decisions.
Can you get hired as a procurement business partner with little experience?
Yes, some employers hire candidates from adjacent functions like finance, operations, or project management into junior procurement business partner roles if they can demonstrate analytical rigor and stakeholder communication skills. Earning an entry-level procurement certification, contributing to a sourcing project in your current role, and tailoring your resume to show commercial awareness will all strengthen a less traditional application.
What does the procurement business partner interview process look like?
Most processes include an initial screening call, a competency-based interview focused on past sourcing decisions and stakeholder situations, and a final-round case study or presentation where you analyze a spend category and propose a sourcing strategy. Some employers add a technical assessment covering contract terms or supplier evaluation frameworks before the final stage.
Where can I find and apply to procurement business partner jobs?
You can find and apply to procurement business partner jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your category experience and seniority level, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
