Anthropic is seeking a highly organized and self-starting Team Assistant to support multiple senior leaders. In this pivotal role, you will own the scheduling and logistics for some of our function leads, partnering closely with them on prioritization and providing real-time support to help ensure our teams have what they need to achieve their goals. As a key point of contact for internal and external partners, you will need to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with shifting priorities, by building strong relationships, collaborating across teams, and problem-solving.

About Anthropic 
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.

Responsibilities

    • Scheduling and managing calendars for our leaders across multiple teams
    • Coordinating logistics for conferences and events for leaders' teams, in collaboration with our Sales and Marketing teams
    • Managing expense claims and reimbursements for leaders, ensuring timely processing and accurate record-keeping
    • Providing seamless and welcoming experiences for in-person visitors to Anthropic, ensuring prospective partners and customers feel valued and appreciated
    • Assisting with ad-hoc projects and company-wide coordination, using your problem-solving skills and proactive mindset to drive positive outcomes

You may be a good fit if:

    • You are highly organized with the ability to prioritize multiple tasks while maintaining a high attention to detail
    • You thrive in fast-paced and changing environments
    • You have enthusiasm for supporting Sales and Product teams in executing their vision, and ensuring they have the necessary resources and information to succeed
    • You have excellent time management skills and are able to manage multiple calendars, coordinate meetings, and travel arrangements
    • You have a positive and welcoming attitude and are able to communicate effectively with team members at all levels
    • You have a proven track record of handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion

Strong candidates may also have:

    • A strong interest in Anthropic’s mission and deep commitment to AI safety in research and product development
    • A security mindset with a thorough understanding of data protection and privacy best practices
    • Experience supporting executives or busy leaders

Annual Salary (USD)

    • The expected salary range for this position is $130k - $190k USD.
Hybrid policy & US visa sponsorship: Currently, we expect all staff to be in our office at least 25% of the time. We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, 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.

Compensation and Benefits*
Anthropic’s compensation package consists of three elements: salary, equity, and benefits. We are committed to pay fairness and aim for these three elements collectively to be highly competitive with market rates.

* This compensation and benefits information is based on Anthropic’s good faith estimate for this position as of the date of publication and may be modified in the future. Employees based outside of the UK or US will receive a different benefits package. The level of pay within the range will depend on a variety of job-related factors, including where you place on our internal performance ladders, which is based on factors including past work experience, relevant education, and performance on our interviews or in a work trial.

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. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.

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.

Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation based in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
