Workforce Planning Lead, People Analytics

About the role

As Anthropic continues to grow, the rigor and sophistication of how we plan our workforce needs to grow with us, and our People Analytics team plays a central role in that work. We are looking for a Workforce Planning Lead to own how Anthropic plans, forecasts, and tracks its workforce, from the underlying data and tooling, to forecasting models, to the cadence and partnership that connects workforce decisions to business strategy. The person in this seat will shape the next chapter of how workforce planning runs at Anthropic. The role is highly cross-functional. You will partner closely with Recruiting, Finance, People Partners (HRBPs), talent leaders, and business leaders across the company to understand headcount needs, model tradeoffs, and translate strategy into workforce plans. Strong grounding in people analytics methods, judgment, and a generalist orientation are essential. Scope will at times extend beyond traditional workforce planning into broader People Analytics work.
