Accommodations Partner

About the role

As an Accommodations Partner at Anthropic, you will own the end-to-end reasonable accommodation process, ensuring employees and candidates receive fair, compliant, and thoughtful support. You will serve as the subject matter expert on complex, high-stakes accommodation requests and applicable disability law across the jurisdictions where Anthropic operates, leading the interactive process with employees, managers, and HR, and partnering closely with Recruiting (for candidates), Benefits, Employment Legal, and external partners to identify effective solutions.

This role requires balancing hands-on casework with process-building, as you will manage individual accommodation requests directly while also helping shape the frameworks, documentation, and cross-functional coordination needed to scale this function globally. You'll partner closely with People Partners, Benefits, Recruiting, Employment Legal, and Occupational Health resources across regions to navigate sensitive medical and disability-related matters with care, discretion, and sound judgment. As we continue to scale rapidly, you'll help build the foundations of an accommodations function that can grow with the organization.
