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

At Anthropic, we are dedicated to delivering AI models to government entities, ensuring compliance and efficient deployment. We are hiring a Technical Program Manager to lead the delivery of our AI models into public sector environments. This role involves coordinating across multiple teams and ensuring that each segment meets regulatory and deployment constraints.

---

Responsibilities

• Own the program for delivering new AI models into public sector environments, managing sequencing, dependencies, and tradeoffs across research, inference, capacity, cloud partners, safeguards, and compliance teams.
• Drive FedRAMP and similar authorization programs for Anthropic's public sector offerings, collaborating with privacy, security, compliance, and platform engineering.
• Plan and sequence work across public sector segments, from model and API availability to application parity and segment-specific product work.
• Represent public sector requirements in model launch planning alongside the launch TPMs.
• Establish the operating rhythm, providing a single view of workstreams, owners, dependencies, risks, and status, with planning, escalation paths, and launch coordination across organizations.
• Convert recurring efforts into documented, repeatable processes so that each new segment or model requires less bespoke coordination.

---

Requirements

• Several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs.
• Experience shipping software or infrastructure into regulated or restricted environments (government clouds, air-gapped deployments, FedRAMP or similar authorization frameworks).
• Experience coordinating across multiple engineering teams and organizations simultaneously, including research, security, and compliance partners.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively across distributed teams.
• Thrive in unstructured environments with a knack for bringing order to chaos and creating clarity in ambiguous situations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority.
• Experience working on public sector, defense, or government cloud programs, or holding or being eligible for a US security clearance (preferred but not required).
• Passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in the challenges of bringing AI capabilities to public institutions safely and reliably.
• A US person. We have agreements with the US Government that mandate this for these roles.

We Offer

• Competitive compensation range: $365,000-$435,000 USD annually.
• Hybrid work policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time.
• 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.
