Strategy & Operations Manager, Product Partnerships

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.

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.

Responsibilities

• Conduct industry research and competitive analysis to identify partnership opportunities and inform strategic decision‑making.

• Build valuation models, partnership evaluation frameworks, and ROI analyses for partnership initiatives.

• Prepare regular reports and presentations for executive leadership, highlighting key insights, opportunities, and recommendations.

• Take the team's most complex challenges from ambiguity to clarity, establishing frameworks and processes to address them.

• Support partner managers in navigating novel partnership structures and emerging issues.

• Develop and oversee the implementation of data & product strategies for Product Partnerships, ensuring alignment with Anthropic's product goals.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to evaluate proposals, negotiate terms, and structure deals that align with Anthropic's business objectives.

• Oversee relationships with scaled partners, monitoring partnership performance data to assess product impact and inform ongoing strategy.

• Provide operational support to partnership initiatives, ensuring smooth execution and adherence to processes and timelines.

• Collaborate with product, research and partner teams to identify and address operational challenges, streamline processes for efficient management.

• Optimize the partnership lifecycle: sourcing, inbound tracking, contracts, cross‑functional approvals, delivery, and feedback loops.

• Design scalable systems and processes that enable the team to grow impact efficiently.

• Build dashboards and reporting infrastructure to track portfolio health, deal pipeline, and key success metrics.

You May Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 5+ years of experience in strategy, operations, product or program management roles at high‑growth tech companies, consulting/banking firms, or major platforms.

• Have exceptional analytical skills and can use data to develop strategies and solve problems.

• Demonstrate a strong bias for action—you take initiative to identify problems and opportunities, build processes from 0 to 1, and scale them thoughtfully.

• Are highly organized and thrive in fast‑paced environments with shifting priorities and ambiguity.

• Collaborate effectively across functions, working well with teams across Product, Research, Legal, Finance, and external partners.

• Communicate clearly and succinctly in writing and presentations.

Strong Candidates May Also Have

• Experience with data analysis tools (SQL, Python, Tableau, spreadsheets, or similar).

• A builder's mindset, you're excited to leverage AI to improve and scale operational processes and are always looking for ways to work smarter.
