What the job involves
- Anthropic's Communications, Brand, and Marketing teams shape how people inside the company and around the world understand AI, its risks, and its benefits
- They move fast, often through moments that make headlines
- We're looking for a recruiting leader to run the team that hires for them
- In this role you will lead a team of experienced recruiters and be the main recruiting partner to the leaders of these functions and their operations partners
- The team is seasoned, and each recruiter brings deep context on the business
- From day one you have two first priorities: the team you manage and the leaders you support
- You might spend one hour coaching a recruiter through a hard search and the next working with a senior leader on how their organization needs to grow
- Lead, coach, and retain a team of senior recruiters, with a focus on fast and timely feedback
- Build deep trust with the leaders of Communications, Brand, and Marketing. Learn what they need, raise hiring risks early, and push back when the plan and the market don't match
- Run a tight operation. Own headcount plans, pipeline data, and reporting, and keep them accurate enough that leaders and operations partners can plan from them
- Use data to show where each search stands, where it is stuck, and what it will take to close
- Work with the operations partners for these teams on headcount, planning, and priorities, and treat them as true partners
- Set one consistent process across the team: how a search runs, how interviews are structured, how data stays clean, and how recruiters use our systems and Claude workflows
- Hire recruiters onto your own team, including specialists in communications and brand hiring
- Partner with Compensation, Finance, People Partners, and Recruiting Operations so that candidates and hiring teams get a clear, fair process
