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.

About the Role

As a Technical Program Manager for Product, you'll drive the programs that bring Anthropic's AI capabilities to the world. You'll work closely with research teams to understand new model capabilities, then orchestrate across engineering, product, infrastructure, and go‑to‑market teams to ensure we launch reliably and at pace. This role is essential in orchestrating the cross‑functional effort required to launch successfully as Anthropic continues to scale.

This role offers unique challenges in coordinating high‑stakes technical programs while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect. This position requires deep technical fluency, the ability to earn trust with researchers and engineers, and a talent for driving alignment across teams with different priorities and working styles.

Responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end program management for model and product launches, coordinating between research, engineering, product, infrastructure, and partnership teams
• Drive cross‑functional alignment and decision‑making across workstreams, ensuring teams are unblocked and launches stay on track
• Partner closely with Research PMs and engineering leads to sequence work, manage dependencies, and navigate technical tradeoffs
• Track and communicate program status, risks, and dependencies to leadership and stakeholders
• Build strong relationships with technical stakeholders, earning trust through deep engagement with the details
• Coordinate with research teams to understand upcoming model capabilities and prepare launch plans accordingly
• Navigate tradeoffs between speed, quality, and scope, helping teams make informed decisions under pressure
• Develop and improve launch processes, playbooks, and operational frameworks that scale with our growing complexity
• Create and maintain documentation of launch processes, decision logs, and cross‑functional dependencies

You May Be a Good Fit If You

• Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross‑functional programs
• Possess deep technical knowledge that allows you to engage meaningfully with ML researchers and engineers
• Have experience managing programs with significant external dependencies and multiple stakeholder groups
• Excel at translating between technical teams and stakeholders, making complex tradeoffs understandable
• Can thrive in ambiguous situations, bringing structure to complex technical challenges
• Have strong organizational skills and can manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively
• Are comfortable operating at a fast pace where priorities shift and new challenges emerge quickly
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority
• Build trust quickly and maintain strong relationships even under pressure
• Are passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in the challenges of bringing frontier AI capabilities to users safely

How We're Different

We believe 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. We value impact—advancing our long‑term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI—rather than work on smaller puzzles. We are extremely collaborative and host frequent research discussions to pursue the highest‑impact work. We greatly value communication skills.

To understand our research directions, read our recent research on 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 to collaborate with colleagues.
