## Description

You'll build and lead the logistics function at Anthropic, responsible for process and SOP engineering, warehousing and inventory management, shipping and logistics operations, and heavy/oversized material movement. The role requires a strong leader who can build and manage a team, develop processes and procedures, and ensure the efficient movement of goods and equipment.

Key responsibilities include:

- Own process and SOP engineering, authoring procedures for receiving, inspection, kitting, integration, ship-out, install, and RMA, and the QA/audit loop that proves they're being followed.

- Run warehousing and inventory, standing up the warehouse network, the sparing model that keeps every PoP inside its replacement SLA, and cycle-count/reconciliation discipline that keeps book and floor in agreement.

- Be the business owner for the asset-lifecycle platform, partnering with the Core Services software team building our inventory/ALM system, defining the data model, state machine, and EDI/WMS integrations it needs.

- Own high-value shipping operations, carrier selection and management, lane risk assessment, GPS/tamper traceability, named handoff owners, insurance and claims.

- Own heavy and oversized logistics, generators, switchgear, fully-integrated racks: route surveys, permits, rigging and crane coordination, shock/vibe acceptance criteria, and the site-receiving plan on the other end.

Requirements include:

- Running global hardware logistics at hyperscaler, large OEM/ODM, telecom, or energy-infrastructure scale.

- Writing SOPs and the QA system for a hardware operation.

- Being the business-side owner of a WMS / inventory / asset-lifecycle system.

- Moving heavy equipment, including permits, rigging, and site receiving.

- Standing up a function from near-zero.

- Being fluent in trade compliance for dual-use electronics across NA/EU/APAC.

Nice to have:

- Network/optical hardware experience.

- Secure-logistics or high-theft-lane experience.

- Central integration / rack-build line experience.

- Supply-chain analytics or cost-attribution background.
