About the Role

As a Technical Program Manager for Product, you'll drive the programs that bring Anthropic’s AI capabilities to the world.

• 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
