Job description

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

Anthropic's Beneficial Deployments team exists to ensure AI's benefits reach the people and communities that markets typically leave behind. As our work in Economic Mobility builds momentum, we're hiring a partnerships manager dedicated to career pathways in the AI age.

You’ll lead Claude Corps, our $150M flagship early career program — a national fellowship placing 1,000 early-career fellows, paid full-time for a year, with nonprofits serving communities across the U.S. Designed and run with CodePath, you’ll own the program's success through its first cohorts and its evolution into replicable workforce infrastructure for the field if the program is impactful for both fellows and nonprofit host organizations.

Beyond Claude Corps, you’ll grow our talent developer partnerships — building on momentum like our CodePath partnership that infuses Claude and Claude Code in courses that reach 20,000+ students at community colleges, universities and workforce programs across the country. You will also lead workforce-related deployments on AI Fluency and Claude fluency with national and regional partners, helping workers build the skills to shape their own pathways in the AI transition.

This is program and partnership leadership with real stakes on a global scale. The economic mobility field is early in its AI journey, and the organizations we work with choose Anthropic because of values alignment. You’ll earn and keep that trust by delivering measurable results by supporting millions of people and their pathways through our partners by 2027. The role rewards entrepreneurial orchestration: building new programs amid ambiguity, scaling what works, and enabling partners to manage mature programs so you can build what’s next.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Claude Corps end-to-end — cohort launches, host organization pipeline, coordination with CodePath, program measurement, and the open-source playbook


• Develop and close tier-1 partnerships with talent developers, workforce organizations, and philanthropic and public sector partners — from scoping and structuring through deployment, measurement, and scale


• Deploy AI Fluency workforce development offerings for states and cities, and drive adoption of AI Fluency and Claude fluency training with national and regional partners


• Orchestrate across functions — working with Anthropic Academy, Economic Research, Applied AI, Policy, Communications, and GTM teams inside Anthropic, and with funders and agencies outside it


• Understand what works through research and share through open, replicable models the broader workforce field can use

You May Be a Good Fit If You

• Have personally structured and led large, multi-year, multi-stakeholder partnerships — corporate, nonprofit, or public sector — and can speak to outcomes you advanced, not just agreements you signed


• Have operated inside a large or fast-growing company — on a people, talent, or HR team, or as a sponsor of talent and early career programs


• Have real substance in AI fluency, technical training, or learning programs — you have built, deployed, or led training and talent development work, not just advised on it


• Build well amid ambiguity — you create structure where none exists, adapt quickly when programs shift, and prioritize execution for impact over process


• Communicate at an executive level — your writing is exec-ready, you are a confident public speaker, and you move fluidly between corporate, nonprofit, and government audiences

Strong Candidates May Also Have

• Experience designing learning programs end-to-end


• An existing network across workforce development, philanthropy, or the public sector


• Hands‑on fluency with Claude — workflows, tools, or assets you have personally built

This is a full-time role based in our San Francisco headquarters. Washington, D.C. will be considered as a backup location for exceptional candidates. Relocation support is available.

Annual Salary

$300,000—$365,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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.

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.
