Head of Comms, Brand, & Marketing Recruiting

About the Role

We're looking for a Head of Comms, Brand, & Marketing Recruiting to lead recruiting across three of Anthropic's most visible functions. This is a senior leadership role that requires exceptional stakeholder partnership, operational rigor, and the ability to serve as connective tissue across functions that shape how Anthropic shows up in the world.

You'll partner directly with our Chief Communications Officer, Head of Brand, and Head of Marketing — three functions operating under two C-level leaders. These partnerships require a highly consultative approach: deep understanding of each function's talent needs, the EQ to navigate competing priorities, and the executive presence to serve as a true strategic advisor.

You'll lead a team of recruiters and recruiting leads across these domains, setting the standard for what high-touch, high-value recruiting looks like at Anthropic. The impact of this role extends beyond your own team — by establishing best practices and frameworks for consultative, white-glove recruiting, you'll help peer leaders across GTM build those same flavors into their higher-volume motions. As Comms, Brand, and Marketing hiring expands into EMEA and APAC, you'll partner with international recruiting leaders to ensure global alignment and consistency.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and develop a specialized recruiting team across Communications, Brand, and Marketing — including managing recruiting leads

• Serve as the primary recruiting partner to our Chief Comms Officer, Head of Brand, and Head of Marketing — operating as connective tissue across functions under two C-level leaders

• Develop differentiated assessment approaches for creative and strategic talent, including portfolio reviews, case studies, and evaluation methods tailored to these functions

• Cascade best practices to peer recruiting leaders within GTM, helping high-volume teams build in high-touch, consultative quality

• Use pipeline data and forecasting to drive strategy, communicate progress to business leaders, and proactively identify risks

• Maintain sharp market intelligence on the competitive landscape for comms, brand, and marketing talent in AI/tech

• Partner with HR, Compensation, and executive leadership on leveling, offer strategy, and internal equity

• Manage executive search firm partnerships and sourcing channels for senior creative and communications talent

• Drive global alignment as hiring expands into EMEA and APAC

You May Be a Good Fit If You Have:

• 10+ years of recruiting experience with 5+ years leading teams 

• Experience recruiting for Marketing, Communications, or Brand functions with a point of view on assessing creative and strategic talent

• Exceptional EQ and stakeholder partnership — you're the partner senior leaders want in the room for their hardest conversations

• A track record of building recruiting practices that influenced teams beyond your own

• Operational rigor and data fluency — comfortable using pipeline analytics and forecasting to inform strategy

• Global collaboration experience, driving alignment through influence rather than authority

• Low ego, high EQ, and the ability to navigate constructive difficult conversations with grace

Strong Candidates May Also Have:

• Experience elevating recruiting standards across a broader organization, not just within your own team

• Background supporting both creative and commercial functions

• Familiarity with AI/ML or technically complex businesses evolving rapidly

• Experience managing executive search firm partnerships

• Global recruiting experience in EMEA or APAC
