Director, G&A Procurement Business Partner

About the role

We're looking for a Director of G&A Procurement Business Partnership to serve as the strategic procurement owner across Anthropic's Finance, Legal & Policy, GTM, and People & Workplace verticals. This role reports to the Head of Procurement.

You're a business partner first. In a hyper-growth environment where speed and impact are equally valued, you'll build frameworks that enable the business rather than slow it down. You'll own purchase management, month-end close processes, and systems hygiene across the verticals that collectively underpin our operational and organizational growth.

You'll manage a small team of procurement professionals in H1 2026, with a clear path to grow the function as Anthropic scales. 

What you'll do:

Process Optimization & Systems (~50%)

• Champion P2P adoption and optimization across G&A business units, driving compliance, user experience improvements, and workflow automation

• Partner with Finance Systems, Business Analytics, Finance & Strategy, and Accounting teams to improve procurement data quality, GL coding accuracy, and spend visibility across G&A categories

• Build scalable playbooks and training that maintain control without creating bottlenecks for fast-moving business partners

• Partner with Legal on contract lifecycle management, ensuring risk-appropriate terms and timely execution

• Partner with Privacy & Security on development of TPRM practices and process 

• Drive vendor rationalization and preferred-vendor strategies that maximize leverage without compromising business velocity

• Reduce P2P cycle time through automation, self-service, and AI-assisted tooling so more volume moves through with fewer manual touchpoints

• Partner with Legal, Security, TPRM, and Finance to embed controls into how work actually flows

Month-End Close & Accruals (~30%)

• Serve as procurement's owner for month-end close activities: accrual submissions, PO management, and spend reconciliation in close partnership with Accounting and FP&A

• Ensure PO hygiene across G&A verticals: timely creation, receipt matching, and proactive communication of large commitments to Finance

• Drive accrual accuracy through scalable processes for open PO reviews, and prepaid management

• Own procurement's contribution to financial forecasting, surfacing vendor commitment data to support accurate budget-to-actual reporting

• Ensure every request and PO is audit-ready with clean metadata that supports invoice matching, reporting, and financial controls

Team Leadership & Business Partnership (~20%)

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of procurement professionals, setting clear expectations and career development plans

• Embed as a strategic partner within Finance, Legal, GTM, and People leadership, attending key planning cycles, vendor strategy discussions

• Translate complex sourcing and financial concepts for non-procurement stakeholders; build trust through responsiveness and results

• Serve as the escalation point when operational breakdowns occur and drive resolution to a clean outcome

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 10+ years of
