Head of Recruiting, Communications, Brand, & Marketing

Anthropic's Communications, Brand, and Marketing teams shape how people inside the company and around the world understand AI, its risks, and its benefits. 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.

• 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; 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 operations partners on headcount, planning, and priorities.
• 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.

• You have managed recruiters, including senior recruiters, and maintained a strong team culture.
• You have been the trusted recruiting partner to senior executives.
• You run recruiting operations with rigor; your headcount and pipeline data hold up when someone checks them.
• You stay steady at a high pace for long stretches and keep your team steady too.
• You give and take direct feedback and handle hard conversations with care.
• You keep sensitive information confidential and use good judgment on sensitive searches.

• 10+ years of recruiting experience, including 5+ years managing recruiters or recruiting managers.
• Experience leading an executive search function, or owning a recruiting portfolio for Communications, Brand, Corporate Affairs, or Marketing.
• Experience supporting leaders whose work is public and high-stakes.
• Experience scaling a recruiting team at a fast-growing company.
• Fluency with recruiting systems and AI tools, and a record of teaching recruiters to use them well.

• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.
• Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. Some roles may require more time.
• 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.
