Technical Program Manager, External Technical Partnerships

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.

We are seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to support our critical cloud deployments. In this role you will be an execution owner, driving coordination and collaboration across multiple engineering teams. You will also support the collaboration and technical execution between our internal engineering teams and our major cloud partners, specifically Amazon Bedrock and GCP Vertex AI.

Your primary focus will be on ensuring tight coordination on engineering deliverables both within our internal teams and between our partner teams, enabling repeatable and efficient product development and launch pipelines for our AI models on third-party platforms. You will be responsible for aligning a range of business and technical stakeholders to drive execution of technical roadmaps, with a particular emphasis on optimizing our presence and performance.

This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on Anthropic's growth and success in the cloud AI market, while working at the forefront of AI development and innovation.

• Collaborate with engineering leaders to define, scope, and sequence major technical initiatives and projects related to cloud partnerships and AI model deployment.
• Develop detailed project plans, timelines, and resourcing strategies for technical projects and initiatives.
• Establish scalable program management frameworks, playbooks, and best practices for external technical partnerships.
• Lead cross-functional coordination and planning for complex engineering projects, acting as the liaison between internal teams and external cloud partners.
• Own relationships with key stakeholders at large-scale cloud providers, partnering to develop and execute shared technical roadmaps.
• Provide clear and transparent reporting on program status, issues, and risks to executives and stakeholders.
• Foster a culture of accountability, rigor, and continuous improvement in technical program management.

• Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex technical programs, preferably involving cloud platforms and AI technologies.
• Have strong understanding of cloud computing architectures, AI/ML deployment, and integration challenges.
• Have exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, enabling you to influence without authority and build cross-organizational support.
• Have a high threshold for navigating ambiguity and ability to balance strategic priorities with rapid, high-quality execution.
• Thrive in fast-paced, scaling environments with the ability to bring order to chaos.
• Are passionate about Anthropic's mission and committed to ensuring AI is developed safely.

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.

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.

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.
