Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps. Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google's AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.
What you'll do
As one of our early legal hires, you will have the opportunity to join a small but high-impact legal team at an early stage. We are looking for someone who has deep expertise in commercial contracts, but also someone who is also eager to broaden their scope across IP, regulatory, and product. You will thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy tackling challenges beyond your comfort zone, and be excited to contribute across the business. In return, we'll provide the support and opportunities you need to grow and excel as a lawyer.

Commercial Contracting: Structure, negotiate and advise on all commercial contracts, including SaaS subscription agreements, technology licenses, professional services agreements, channel partner agreement, vendor agreements and NDAs. Commercial privacy and security contracting experience (e.g., DPAs, BAAs, security agreements) is a plus.
Operational Excellence: Help build out our commercial function to be best in class. We aim to be the fastest and strongest, where the legal team is the differentiator in the contract lifecycle. You will be developing templates, playbooks, and workflows to drive efficiency and scalability.
Expertise: Deep knowledge of practice areas that underpin the commercial practice, including contract law, IP and privacy. You will also want to work in AI and understand the nuances of law as it relates to AI, including the evolving regulatory frameworks. You will be expected to advise broadly on all contractual issues and be comfortable doing so.
Teamwork: A team player first and foremost. Sierra is a unique place to work, with a strong sense of togetherness, and the legal team is no exception. You will look out for your colleagues, be accustomed to sharing and helping the team succeed.
Judgement: Understand risk in the context of a hyperscaling business, have sound judgement and be strategic in your decision making. You will not be afraid to make judgement calls, and you will be empowered to do so.
Approach: A strong work ethic with an eye for detail. You will strive for perfection, and expect that of others.
Collaborate: Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Operations, and Agent Development teams to support revenue growth and strategic business initiatives.
What you'll bring
2-6 years of legal experience, with a combination of both large law firm and in-house experience at a tech company.
A strong background in negotiating and managing complex commercial contracts, preferably in SaaS, AI, or enterprise software.
Strong communication skills (verbal and written) and the ability to partner with both legal and non-legal stakeholders.
A proactive mindset and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment.
Even better…
Experience of privacy/regulatory frameworks and can advise on data processing agreements and security-related contract provisions.
A passion for AI, with a deep understanding of AI products, LLMs and the related legal issues.
Law firm experience at a top-tier, internationally recognized law firm.
Experience working at a high-growth startup and operating with a sense of ownership.
Our values
Trust: We build trust with our customers with our accountability, empathy, quality, and responsiveness. We build trust in AI by making it more accessible, safe, and useful. We build trust with each other by showing up for each other professionally and personally, creating an environment that enables all of us to do our best work.
Customer Obsession: We deeply understand our customers' business goals and relentlessly focus on driving outcomes, not just technical milestones. Everyone at the company knows and spends time with our customers. When our customer is having an issue, we drop everything and fix it.
Craftsmanship: We get the details right, from the words on the page to the system architecture. We have good taste. When we notice something isn't right, we take the time to fix it. We are proud of the products we produce. We continuously self-reflect to continuously self-improve.
Intensity: We know we don't have the luxury of patience. We play to win. We care about our product being the best, and when it isn't, we fix it. When we fail, we talk about it openly and without blame so we succeed the next time.
Family: We know that balance and intensity are compatible, and we model it in our actions and processes. We are the best technology company for parents. We support and respect each other and celebrate each other's personal and professional achievements.
What we offer
We want our benefits to reflect our values and offer the following to full-time employees:

Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the Role
As a Commercial Counsel for Partnerships and Alliances at Anthropic, you'll be the legal architect behind the strategic relationships that amplify our AI technology's reach and impact. We'll count on you to be a trusted business partner who forges, structures, and negotiates transformative partnership arrangements including ISV integrations, SI alliances, reseller channels, and strategic referral networks. You'll work at the intersection of cutting‑edge AI technology and complex commercial arrangements, building the legal foundation for partnerships that will shape how the world accesses and builds with Claude.
Responsibilities:
Own end-to-end legal strategy and execution for Anthropic's partnership ecosystem, including ISV agreements, systems integrator relationships, channel partner programs, reseller arrangements, and strategic alliance structures
Independently draft, negotiate, and close complex multi‑party agreements involving technical integrations, support commitments, joint go‑to‑market strategies, and revenue considerations
Serve as primary legal partner to our rapidly scaling Partnerships and Business Development teams, providing strategic counsel that balances legal risk management with aggressive growth objectives
Design scalable partnership frameworks, templates, and playbooks that enable the team to evaluate and execute deals efficiently while maintaining appropriate risk controls
Collaborate cross‑functionally with Business Development, Partnerships, Finance, and GTM teams to structure creative deal solutions that achieve business objectives while managing complex risk profiles
You might be a good fit if you have:
Have a JD and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar (California preferred)
At least 8 years of relevant legal experience, with at least 3 years of substantial focus on technology partnerships, channel programs, and strategic alliances - you've been the lawyer in the room for ISV deals, SI partnerships, and reseller arrangements
Demonstrated track record of independently leading complex, multi‑stakeholder negotiations that resulted in successful partnership launches
Business development instincts paired with legal precision - you understand partnership incentives and can spot opportunities to structure arrangements that work for all parties
Exceptional ability to build trusted relationships with both internal business teams and external partner counsel, becoming the legal partner they actively want at the table
Proven ability to design scalable processes and frameworks that enable high‑velocity partnership execution without sacrificing quality
Superior judgment in risk assessment and mitigation, with the confidence to say both "yes, here's how" and "no, here's why" when the situation demands
Outstanding communication skills that translate complex legal and commercial concepts into clear guidance for technical and business audiences
Genuine intellectual curiosity about AI technology and its applications, with commitment to supporting responsible AI deployment through well‑structured partnerships
Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with ambiguity - you thrive in environments where you're building the plane while flying it
Strong candidates may have:
Direct experience supporting partnerships organizations at high‑growth technology companies, particularly those that scaled from startup to enterprise
Background negotiating with and managing relationships with major systems integrators (e.g., Accenture, Deloitte, PwC, Big 4 consulting) or leading ISVs
Experience designing and launching channel partner or reseller programs from the ground up
Familiarity with partnership contract incentive alignment including deal registration, referral fees, revenue recognition implications, and partner incentive structures
Experience with emerging technology partnerships (AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, developer tools) where legal frameworks are still evolving
Role‑specific policy:
For this role, we expect all staff to be able to work from our San Francisco or New York offices at least 3 days a week, though we encourage you to apply even if you might need some flexibility for an interim period of time.
The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full‑time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
Annual Salary: $265,000 - $320,000 USD
Logistics
Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location‑based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
How we're different
We believe that the highest‑impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large‑scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long‑term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest‑impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit‑Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Come work with us!
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
