About the Role
As a Partner Operations Specialist, you'll be the operational engine behind Anthropic's growing partner ecosystem.

Responsibilities
- Process and manage deal registrations submitted by partners, including reviewing for completeness, routing through approval workflows, updating Salesforce records, and communicating status to stakeholders.
- Administer Market Development Fund programs by validating requests, tracking allocations, processing proof‑of‑execution submissions, coordinating reimbursements with Finance, and responding to partner inquiries.
- Support Customer Acceleration Fund programs, including POC funding and API credit distribution—processing requests, coordinating allocations with technical teams, and monitoring credit consumption.
- Process partner referral submissions and serve as a point of contact for partner operations inquiries, escalating complex issues as needed.
- Maintain partner data quality in Salesforce, run standard reports, prepare data for leadership reviews, and support dashboard maintenance.
- Document processes and standard operating procedures, flag inefficiencies, and support training for new team members.

- Have strong Excel or Google Sheets skills for data analysis and reporting.
- Demonstrate consistent accuracy and attention to detail in fast‑paced environments.
- Communicate clearly and professionally, explaining processes in ways that are easy to understand.
