Anthropic, a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco, is seeking a Corporate Development Integration Lead to own the post‑signing phase of M&A activity. The role will bridge deal teams, product and engineering organizations, and acquired teams, ensuring integrations deliver strategic value. The Lead will develop integration playbooks, coordinate cross‑functional workstreams, and drive execution from due diligence through day‑one and day‑100 integration milestones.

Requirements

Skills

  • Strong technical fluency from software engineering or product experience, or deep familiarity with evaluating technical organizations and codebases
  • Skills in building cross‑functional relationships and coordinating across product, engineering, legal, HR, and finance teams
  • Ability to translate strategic objectives into actionable operational plans with clear timelines, owners, and accountability
  • Thriving in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments while maintaining urgency and precision across multiple parallel workstreams
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including presenting integration status and recommendations to executive leadership
  • Alignment with Anthropic’s mission to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems
  • 10+ years of corporate development or M&A integration experience, with a track record of leading post‑acquisition integrations at high‑growth technology companies
  • Direct experience in AI/ML companies or deep learning research environments
  • Experience building or significantly contributing to a corporate development integration function, including creation of playbooks, frameworks, and repeatable processes
  • Experience with acquihire integrations, technical talent retention, and the challenges of integrating small, high‑output engineering teams
  • MBA or advanced technical degree (Computer Science or equivalent)
  • Experience managing stakeholder expectations across multiple simultaneous integrations with competing timelines
  • Experience with international or cross‑border transaction integration, navigating cultural norms and regulatory requirements

Responsibilities

  • Lead confirmatory diligence workstreams post‑LOI, coordinating with legal, finance, product, engineering, and research teams to validate the strategic and technical thesis before deal close
  • Develop and maintain due diligence frameworks tailored to Anthropic's acquisition types (acquihires, technology acquisitions, transformational deals), ensuring consistent and thorough assessment of technical assets, talent quality, IP, and organizational fit
  • Own the integration readiness assessment — identify risks, flag cultural or operational gaps, and provide go/no‑go input to deal sponsors before signing
  • Coordinate technical deep dives with engineering and research leadership to validate product‑market fit, code quality, and team capabilities
  • Design and own end‑to‑end integration plans for each transaction, covering organizational structure, reporting lines, tooling migration, product roadmap alignment, and day‑one operational continuity
  • Build and maintain a scalable integration playbook, establishing best practices, templates, and decision frameworks that can be reused across future deals
  • Develop integration timelines and milestones in close coordination with product, engineering, HR, IT, and legal to ensure cross‑functional alignment before and at close
  • Facilitate introductions and relationship‑building between acquired teams and internal stakeholders during the planning phase to accelerate ramp and reduce post‑close friction
  • Model financial and operational scenarios to stress‑test integration assumptions and identify contingency plans
  • Drive day‑one and day‑100 integration execution, tracking milestones against plan and escalating blockers to deal sponsors and executive leadership in real time
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for acquired teams during the transition period, ensuring they have the information, access, and organizational support needed to be productive and retained
  • Partner with HR and people managers to design onboarding and retention plans for key talent, with particular focus on acquired engineering, research, and product leaders
  • Conduct post‑integration retrospectives to capture lessons learned, measure outcomes against the original deal thesis, and feed insights back into future integration planning
  • Build and report integration KPIs to leadership, including retention rates, product milestone achievement, and operational readiness benchmarks
