About Anthropic

Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Responsibilities

• Play a central role on the team that runs Anthropic's programs for Commercial Launches — helping evolve an established launch motion into a scalable, well-instrumented program that keeps pace with an accelerating product roadmap
• Run launches end-to-end through the Commercial launch process: lead intake and scoping for your portfolio of launches, translate each into its commercial-readiness requirements (pricing, billing, tax, marketplace, compliance and selling motions), and collaborate with product teams to develop paths to launch
• Identify where launches slow down today and drive resolution to prevent them from recurring: propose and implement process and system changes, clarify ownership, drive completion across partner teams like, Product, Engineering, Finance, Legal, and GTM.
• Build specific program components that don't exist yet — launch tiering, readiness criteria, playbooks, templates, SLAs; and develop training that shifts programs from late-stage gatekeeper to early-stage partner
• Take ownership of major program-improvement workstreams such as instrumentation (pipeline visibility, readiness scorecards, guides, throughput and cycle-time metrics) or workflow tooling and automation (intake, tracking, approvals, status) in partnership with Engineering and systems teams
• Work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Finance, and GTM teams to design clear interfaces and processes that span multiple teams

You may be a good fit if you have

• Experience building and running new product introduction processes
• 10+ years of experience in operations, with demonstrated success in billing, payments, or commercial operations (high-volume SaaS experience a plus)
• Strong working knowledge of billing systems, subscription management, and payments platforms
• Proven track record of building and scaling operational programs in high-growth environments — taking things from 0-1 and then scaling beyond
• Willing to roll up your sleeves and do the operational work of building while also leading a team
• Experience with automation initiatives and partnering with engineering teams to build operational tooling
• Strong analytical abilities, problem-solving skills, and the ability to demonstrate ROI on operational programs
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to influence stakeholders across GTM, Finance, Product, and Engineering
• Adaptability and comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where you need to balance multiple priorities simultaneously
• Excitement about building the operational backbone that enables Anthropic to stay on the exponential
