Anthropic is seeking a Corporate Development Integration Lead to own the post-signing phase of M&A activity, from confirmatory diligence through integration planning to full operational execution. This high-visibility, cross-functional role serves as the connective tissue between deal teams, product and engineering organizations, and acquired teams, ensuring acquisitions deliver on their strategic thesis.
Key responsibilities include leading confirmatory diligence workstreams post-LOI, coordinating with legal, finance, product, engineering, and research teams to validate strategic and technical theses before deal close. You will develop and maintain due diligence frameworks tailored to Anthropic's acquisition types (acquihires, technology acquisitions, transformational deals), ensuring consistent assessment of technical assets, talent quality, IP, and organizational fit.
You will own the integration readiness assessment, identifying risks and flagging cultural or operational gaps, and provide go/no-go input to deal sponsors. You'll coordinate technical deep dives with engineering and research leadership to validate product-market fit, code quality, and team capabilities.
Designing and owning end-to-end integration plans for each transaction is central to the role, covering organizational structure, reporting lines, tooling migration, product roadmap alignment, and day-one operational continuity. You will build and maintain a scalable integration playbook, establishing best practices, templates, and decision frameworks reusable across future deals.
Additional responsibilities include developing integration timelines and milestones in close coordination with product, engineering, HR, IT, and legal; facilitating relationship-building between acquired teams and internal stakeholders; modeling financial and operational scenarios; driving day-one and day-100 integration execution; serving as primary point of contact for acquired teams; partnering with HR on onboarding and retention plans; conducting post-integration retrospectives; and building integration KPIs for leadership reporting.
The ideal candidate has deep prior integration experience at high-growth technology companies, strong technical fluency (through software engineering, product experience, or deep familiarity with evaluating technical organizations), and excels at building cross-functional relationships. You translate strategic objectives into actionable operational plans, thrive in fast-paced ambiguous environments, and communicate clearly with executive leadership.
