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 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 Beneficial Deployments

Beneficial Deployments ensures AI reaches and benefits the communities that need it most. We partner with nonprofits, governments, and mission-driven organizations to deploy Claude in education, global health, economic mobility, and life sciences.

About The Role

We’re looking for a Partnerships Manager to help extend Anthropic’s health work into US public health. Building on our existing global health portfolio, you’ll help shape how we engage the US public health system and manage a set of partnerships across federal, state, and local levels. Because this is an emerging area for the team, the role blends partnership management with meaningful contribution to strategy.

The right person combines credibility in the US public health ecosystem, enough technical fluency to be a real thought partner on AI deployment, and comfort operating in a space that’s still taking shape.

This role is distinct from our Account Executive function: while AEs drive scaled adoption of Anthropic’s core products, Partnership Managers build deep partnerships that require custom deployments, research collaboration, and hands‑on program design. You’ll work with a smaller portfolio of flagship partners where the goal is driving impact metrics and creating learnings that benefit the broader ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to Anthropic's US public health strategy, working closely with the team lead to identify priority partners and use cases and bringing field insights back to inform our broader health work
• Own a portfolio of flagship deployments, coordinating with Applied AI, product, policy, and GTM teams to deliver impact
• Source, evaluate, and onboard new partners; structure engagements that work within government procurement, data governance, and privacy constraints
• Translate partner needs into deployment plans that account for legacy systems and workforce realities
• Support the creation of shared resources and digital public goods that help the broader field use AI responsibly
• Build the evidence base by partnering with academic and evaluation organizations to study what works
• Represent Anthropic at public health convenings and with funders and policymakers
• Help shape team processes as we grow this area; hand off opportunities better suited to scaled sales or public sector motions
• Travel to partner sites and to SF headquarters every ~6 weeks for those based outside SF (~20% travel)

You Might Be a Good Fit If You Have

• 10+ years of experience in US public health, health policy, or public sector health innovation
• 5+ years managing external partnerships, multi-stakeholder initiatives, or programs that span government and civil society
• Deep relationships and credibility in the US public health ecosystem — you know the key players at CDC, state health departments, major schools of public health, and the foundations that fund this work
• A working understanding of how federal, state, and local public health agencies operate, fund programs, and adopt new technology
• Technical fluency to engage credibly on AI concepts, understand LLM capabilities and limitations, and partner effectively with technical teams
• Experience building programs or portfolios in early-stage environments where the playbook is still being written
• High agency and comfort with ambiguity; you thrive when the playbook doesn’t exist yet
• A genuine drive to strengthen the public health system and the communities it serves
• An MPH or related credential

Strong Candidates May Also Have

• Experience inside a federal or state health agency (CDC, HHS, a state DOH) or at an organization that works closely with them
• Background in epidemiology, ideally with hands‑on surveillance experience at a state, local, or federal health agency
• Experience working in a global context
• Experience at a healthtech company, AI organization, or in a product‑adjacent role

Annual Salary

$215,000—$300,000 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.

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.
