- Own recruiting and partner to ensure an amazing onboarding experience for technical talent joining through acquisitions
- Collaborate with People, Legal, and Corp Dev to structure competitive offers that reflect both standard compensation and appropriate recognition for founders' prior work
- Maintain confidentiality and navigate sensitive conversations with discretion
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of technical recruiting experience, with at least 3 years supporting corporate development, M&A, or acquihire processes and familiarity using modern recruiting systems
- Track record of hiring engineers, research scientists, and technical leaders in highly competitive markets
- Strong understanding of what makes technical teams exceptional—and the judgment to assess whether a team meets Anthropic's high bar
- Experience navigating complex, sensitive hiring situations where discretion and trust-building are essential
- Ability to partner effectively across Corp Dev, Legal, People, and technical leadership
- Clear, direct communication style and a bias toward action
- Genuine interest in Anthropic's mission and the role M&A plays in supporting it
