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 hiring a seasoned and passionate Facilities Coordinator to join Anthropic. If you love creating spaces where your colleagues can focus, collaborate, and do their best work, you might be a great fit for this role! We have a strong in-person presence, so we really care that our office is a place where staff feel welcome and supported.

• Coordinating with and managing vendors who handle day-to-day operations and maintenance of our office building such as deliveries, office supplies and daily janitorial services
• Partnering with the extended Facilities team to ensure the buildings are running smoothly and providing a safe, functional and comfortable environment for employees.
• Addressing any facility or workplace issues (elevator down, restroom flood, refrigerator not cooling, etc) promptly to include engaging the right vendor to address the issue
• Responding to an internal ticketing system within Service Level Agreements, providing clear answers and excellent customer service to fellow employees
• Providing event & meeting support, emergency response support in partnership with Security, managing maintenance and repair requests, and helping us stay compliant with local codes
• Helping to maintain our Standard Operating Procedures to ensure documentation is up to date
• Developing and preserving office culture and norms, for example our COVID or guest policies
• Partnering closely with People Operations, Security, and vendors to ensure that our office supports focused work and the fruitful exchange of ideas
• Execute furniture moves to support meetings, office moves, and events across campus, including arranging tables, chairs, and equipment, while adhering to proper lifting techniques and safety protocols for items up to 35 pounds

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 4+ years of experience in facilities coordination and building operations
• Working knowledge of facilities-related systems like HVAC, elevators, plumbing, various building equipment like lighting systems, and infrastructure with the ability to supervise maintenance, repairs, and services
• Stay up-to-date with technological, regulatory, and facility trends related to building management
• Have a service and solution-based mindset/internal customer orientation, and are excited to take on essential but behind-the-scenes tasks to help our teams do impactful work
• Enjoy rolling up your sleeves and handling day-to-day tasks as they arise–no task is too big or too small
• Have excellent organizational skills, strong communication abilities (both verbal and written) and ability to multitask

Strong candidates may also:

• Have prior experience with vendor management, food and beverage service, and hospitality
• Be interested in artificial intelligence and care that it is developed safely and beneficially
• Have experience with managing permit, license, and inspection requirements, ensuring facilities meet all mandated regulations
• Enjoy juggling multiple projects, especially in a fast-paced and dynamic startup environment

Role-Specific Location Policy:

• Please note that this role is based in our San Francisco office 5 days a week.

Logistics

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

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.
