Strategy & Operations Manager, Product Partnerships
About the Role
As a Strategy & Operations Manager on the Product Partnerships team at Anthropic, you'll support a cross-functional team in creating, researching, and implementing data partnership strategies to improve Anthropic's products. You'll serve as a strategic enabler and operational executor—solving ambiguous problems, providing analytical rigor on critical decisions, and building scalable systems that empower the team and accelerate Anthropic's data & product partnerships.
Your ability to think through partnership strategies, run data-driven analyses, and think broadly about the technology and content ecosystem will serve you well in this role. This is a great fit for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can seamlessly pivot between high-level strategy and detailed execution, and gets energy from solving problems that don't have an established playbook.
