Progression here is earned, not timed. We don't run on tenure. We run on impact, and strong performers move fast. If you want to build things that matter, at a pace that matches your ambition, this is where you do it. What we do Our UK office is at an inflection point. We've built the foundations of a category-defining consultancy, and now we're scaling, fast. The shape of the team a year from now will look very different to today.

We work at the intersection of innovation and execution, partnering closely with leaders across the company to turn rapidly evolving needs into scalable, compliant, and economically sound solutions. Professional services are a critical source of specialized expertise, capacity, and operational leverage across OpenAI. Our work spans consulting and advisory services, finance and accounting, legal, people and talent, managed services, Human Data services, and other enterprise capabilities. Done well, sourcing becomes a source of trust and momentum—helping teams move faster with the right partners, clearer outcomes, stronger economics, and appropriate safeguards. About the Role We are seeking a Strategic Sourcing Lead to own and execute OpenAI’s category strategy for Professional Services. This is an experienced individual-contributor role for a high-velocity, hands-on sourcing operator who can set category priorities, own complex work end to end, exercise sound judgment, influence senior stakeholders, and build scalable category mechanisms in a rapidly growing organization.

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.

You'll be a technical leader who thinks holistically about the end-to-end researcher experience, partners directly with our internal research team to push model capabilities into production, and carries real ownership over what we ship next. Our north star is accelerating scientific progress — across biology, chemistry, physics, and beyond — from early discovery through real-world application, by an order of magnitude. This work supports programs like Anthropic’s AI for Science Program and our rare disease research grants .
