As a Strategy & Operations Lead for Marketing at Anthropic, you'll be a key part of the team that keeps our entire marketing organization running, spanning brand, enterprise, creative and performance marketing. You'll work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and analytics, helping build the systems and rhythms that let a fast-growing team move quickly and stay aligned as we introduce Claude and Anthropic to the world. This is a senior, high-autonomy role for someone who can see around corners and turn ambiguous, high-level strategy into concrete plans that ship. You'll project-manage some of marketing's most high-stakes, high-visibility work and quarterback complex special projects that cut across the org. You'll partner with marketing leadership, Finance, Legal, Creative Studio, and external agencies to run planning and budgeting, sharpen how we measure impact, and rally teams to get things done. This is a team effort. You'll sit within a strategy and operations group that divides and conquers, so you should be as happy driving your own slice as partnering on the rest. We're looking for a leader who can walk into a complex, fast-changing environment, quickly figure out what matters, and move it forward with very little direction. What makes this role exciting You'll help shape how Anthropic tells its story to the world, building the operational foundation that lets every part of our marketing team do its best work. You'll touch all of marketing, from brand and enterprise to product and developer, with real influence over how the whole org plans, spends, and measures itself. This is a chance to build alongside a sharp team at one of the most important companies in AI, with significant room to grow your scope and step into broader leadership as we scale.
