People Specialist

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. We're looking for a People Specialist to join our People Team.  You'll support People Partners and cross functional teams on the work that helps our managers do their jobs well: performance cases, org changes, manager resources, and the operational processes underneath all of it. Some weeks you'll be deep in a sensitive performance case coaching a manager. Other weeks you're cleaning up a process, rebuilding a tracker, or helping prep a leader for a hard conversation. We need someone who takes both kinds of work seriously and holds the same quality bar for each. A lot of the work is sensitive. You'll be close to performance management, org restructures, and situations that touch ER or Employment Legal.

You'll be drafting things leaders use in hard conversations, and you're not precious when they get edited (you used Claude as a guide but not as a final editor) Good judgment on need-to-know. You think about what to share, with whom, and what goes in writing versus what stays verbal You'll push back when something's off. You have a point of view and you're comfortable raising concerns with people more senior than you Comfortable with range. You don't check out on the tedious work or treat it as beneath you Preferred qualifications 5+ years in an HR- role: people operations, HR coordination, HRBP, or similar Experience at a high-growth tech company where process was being built Direct experience supporting HRBPs, Managers and Employees through challenging and sensitive matters Working knowledge of HR compliance requirements Interest in AI safety Claude power user in your current role 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.

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 ra
