About Anthropic

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

We are seeking a Real Estate Program Coordinator to partner with Anthropic's Global Head of Real Estate & Workplace.

The Coordinator owns the tactical workstreams behind every new office and every active transaction: initial security deposit and first-month rent wire transfers, monthly rent PO setup with AP, Letters of Credit, and the day-to-day triage of activity coming from our broker team. The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-obsessed, comfortable juggling many concurrent workstreams across global time zones, and brings a strong service mindset paired with crisp written communication. Reporting directly to the Global Head of Real Estate & Workplace as an individual contributor, you will be the operational engine that ensures our real estate program executes flawlessly as we scale.

Cross-Functional Coordination & Communication

• Draft communications and support delivery of the Workplace All-Hands, Real Estate Roadmap meetings and similar updates related to real estate transactions and milestones.
• Document and maintain standard operating procedures for recurring workstreams (deposits, LoCs, PO setup, doc tracking) so that processes scale as the portfolio grows.

How We're Different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
