Procurement Operations is the front door for buying at Anthropic. We sit inside Finance Operations and own the path from “I need to buy something” to a signed agreement, an accurate purchase order, and clean spend data at month‑end. We are hiring a Procurement Operations Business Partner to own that path for our research organizations and the special programs that spawn out of it.

Requirements

Skills

  • Proven track record of owning a high-volume purchasing portfolio end-to-end in procure-to-pay and intake platform
  • Solid working knowledge of accrual accounting as it applies to purchasing, including accruals and reversals, service period and cutoff, prepaid vs. expense, and GL and cost center coding

Responsibilities

  • Own the high-volume purchasing path for R&D, managing purchase requests, work orders, and change orders each month
  • Serve as the primary procurement partner for Anthropic's research teams and special programs
  • Review purchase requests for vendor record, contracting entity, commercial documents, spend categorization, and approvals
  • Determine required documents (SOW, order form, amendment, security/privacy review, third‑party risk assessment) and route to correct reviewers
  • Launch and track contract reviews with Legal and confirm the executed agreement supports the purchase order
  • Structure purchase orders to match vendor billing and accounting requirements, manage change orders, renewals, and closures
  • Act as the dedicated operations partner for the research services vendor portfolio, managing master agreements and work orders
  • Handle hardware, equipment, and lab purchasing logistics (quotes, lead times, shipping, receiving, asset handoffs)
  • Code every purchase order correctly (GL account, spend category, cost center, service period) and understand financial impacts
  • Work with Accounting on complex cases (spanning periods, milestones, arrears, credits, mid‑month amendments)
  • Own open purchase order book: receipts, reviews, cleanups, coding corrections, closures
  • Serve as first‑line reviewer for month‑end accruals and gather estimates from vendors
  • Partner with Accounts Payable to resolve invoice holds, PO mismatches, and receiving questions
  • Support audit and reporting requests (commitment schedules, control evidence)
  • Stand up new programs: scope procurement needs, set up path with Legal, Security, Finance
  • Run pipeline checks with high‑velocity teams
  • Translate procurement requirements into plain language for researchers and engineers
  • Be visible and responsive in Slack and office hours, answer routine purchasing questions, and handle blockers
  • Apply purchasing policy consistently and explain thresholds and authority
  • Maintain playbooks, intake guidance, and SOPs for the portfolio
  • Identify manual steps and automate using AI (Claude) to improve efficiency
