What the job involves

Anthropic's Communications, Brand, and Marketing teams shape how people inside the company and around the world understand AI, its risks, and its benefits
They move fast, often through moments that make headlines
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
The team is seasoned, and each recruiter brings deep context on the business
From day one you have two first priorities: the team you manage and the leaders you support
You might spend one hour coaching a recruiter through a hard search and the next working with a senior leader on how their organization needs to grow
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. Learn what they need, 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 the operations partners for these teams on headcount, planning, and priorities, and treat them as true partners
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
