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.
Anthropic is looking for a People Operations Generalist to join our People Services team. In this role, you'll support a wide variety of projects focused on our people systems and processes, employee lifecycle operations, and compliance initiatives. You'll work closely with cross-functional partners including People Partners (HRBPs), Legal, IT, and Internal Tools to build seamless experiences that enable Ants (what we call our employees internally) to fit, function, and flourish in their roles.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable People/HR processes that grow with the company while maintaining quality and consistency
- Proactively identify potential issues before they arise and develop preventative solutions
- Optimize processes in our people systems (including our HRIS, Workday) to deliver a great user experience
- Lead compliance initiatives and reporting, staying ahead of requirements across different global markets
- Partner with technical teams to leverage data for strategic decision-making and operational improvements
- Drive cross-functional projects with clear documentation, efficient execution, and measurable outcomes
- Create intuitive, self-service solutions that enable Ants to help themselves while enhancing their overall experience
- Develop and maintain effective data reporting and analysis to inform People strategy and operations
You may be a good fit if you
- Have 8-10+ years of People Operations/HR experience in a high-growth company
Have 4+ years of experience with Workday HCM
Are comfortable collaborating with technical teams to optimize systems and processes
Have a solid understanding of compliance requirements and risk management
Excel at project management with the ability to balance multiple priorities effectively
Are organized and detail-oriented, particularly when handling sensitive employee data
Are comfortable with basic data analysis and spreadsheets
Communicate clearly and effectively, both in writing and verbally
Strong candidates may also
- Have experience with other Workday modules
- Have experience with performance management systems and program management
- Have advanced data analysis skills and experience with spreadsheets
Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
The expected salary range for this position is:
Annual Salary:
$220,000—$275,000 USD
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. 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 range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
