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 is seeking a senior M&A People Program Manager to own the People side of our M&A program end-to-end. 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.

In this role, you'll act as Corporate Development's strategic counterpart on all things People: shaping deal decisions (structure, timing, retention strategy, people cost) from the earliest stages, leading the most complex acquisitions yourself, and setting the direction, standards, and playbooks for all People-side M&A work. You’ll be the second member of the team coordinating across Recruiting, People Partners, People Operations, Workplace, Immigration, Employment Legal, and Internal Comms, and you'll build the durable program infrastructure that makes each deal go more smoothly than the last. 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.

  • Set the long term direction for the program: where we invest in infrastructure, what we standardize, and how the function should evolve.

Leading the most complex deals

  • Serve as the People-side DRI for our largest and most complex acquisitions — multi-entity or international deals, larger teams, concurrent transactions, and situations with significant retention or sentiment risk
  • Sequence interdependent workstreams (immigration, offers, entity setup, onboarding, benef
