Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Anthropic is a public benefit corporation focused on creating reliable and interpretable AI systems. The Operations Sourcing Manager will oversee sourcing operations for the company's global data center, ensuring timely hardware delivery and managing supplier performance across various categories.
Responsibilities
- Run end-to-end sourcing operations across data center hardware categories (compute, networking, racks, mechanical, cabling), from supplier engagement and competitive process through contracts and ongoing supplier performance management
- Own the operational rhythm with suppliers: supplier scorecards, capturing capacity and quarterly business reviews
- Negotiate commercial terms across categories and keep them aligned with our deployment plans, with a bias toward execution and on-time delivery
- Triage supplier issues across programs, drive trade-off decisions with engineering, finance, and deploy operations, and keep stakeholders aligned through ambiguity
- Build Claude-powered workflows that the sourcing team and partners adopt for benchmarking, request for quotes, contract analysis, and reporting
- Produce the deal memos, supplier business reviews, and operational readouts that engineering and ops leadership rely on to keep programs on track
Skills
- 7+ years of experience in sourcing, procurement, or supply chain operations, with a track record across multiple hardware categories rather than depth in just one
- Operationally rigorous: comfortable owning supplier performance, lead-time discipline, and fulfillment escalations as a regular part of the job
- Can move from a compute supply negotiation to a networking RFx to a mechanical components contract without losing rigor
- Operate effectively under ambiguity and bring structure to undefined problems
- Influence cross-functional partners and align them around shared standards, even without direct authority
- Communicate clearly in writing and produce artifacts senior stakeholders can act on without follow-up
- Have a bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience
- 10+ years in sourcing, procurement, supply chain operations, or hardware program management
- 5+ years of experience sourcing data center hardware at scale
- Hands-on experience with operational sourcing instruments (PO management, scorecards, S&OP, lead-time modeling, expedites)
- Familiarity with data center hardware infrastructure (compute, networking, racks, cabling, CDUs, and other mechanical components)
- Experience working with OEMs, ODMs, integrators, and service providers across multiple hardware categories
- Experience supporting large-scale hardware deployments where on-time delivery and supplier performance drove program outcomes
Benefits
- Optional equity donation matching
- Generous vacation and parental leave
- Flexible working hours
- A lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues
