Job description

• Anthropic is seeking a Program Manager to join our Accounting organization and help it run as one global team. Accounting is scaling at an unprecedented pace across multiple hubs, and the goals, rhythms, programs, and people that make up the team need to stay connected as we grow. In this role, you will own that connective tissue: the annual goal-setting cycle, the leadership team's operating cadence, org-wide events and internal communications, and the programs that make a distributed team feel like one
• You will partner with Accounting leadership, the People team, Finance Systems, and hub leads. This is a hands-on role with a lot of range: part chief of staff, part program manager, part culture builder
• Run the annual goal setting process and the reporting that tracks progress against those goals
• Look at how the org actually operates (meetings, handoffs, planning cycles, decision making) and fix what isn't working
• Maintain one org-wide planning calendar that shows close, audit, and team milestones alongside company-wide and team events, so leaders can see the pressure points and plan around them
• Build and maintain a simple set of org health metrics (attrition, engagement scores, hiring pipeline, training completion, survey trends) and report on them regularly
• Run our extended leadership team (XLT) program, including agendas, meetings, follow-ups, and action items
• Own planning and agenda for the annual offsite and run the quarterly team all-hands
• Write the internal updates: a regular team newsletter, plus talking points when leadership needs to explain a change to the whole org
• Coordinate projects across the org that support employee experience programs
• Partner with the People team to roll out training and development programs for Accounting
• Review team survey results, identify the themes, and build action plans to address the feedback. Follow through and report back to the team
• Run hub programs, including visit and rotation programs, local hub events, and meeting norms that work across time zones, so we feel like one global team
• Run recognition and team rituals: wins, milestones, anniversaries, and peer recognition, especially across hubs
• Support contractor management, including onboarding, tracking, and coordination with the right partners
• Keep the team's knowledge base current: wiki, org charts, role descriptions, and key process docs
• Keep the team calendar accurate so everyone knows what's coming
• 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
