Anthropic is hiring a Technical Program Manager to own the program of work expanding access to life sciences verification programs and scaling it safely.
This is a cross-org execution role responsible for scoping, sequencing, managing dependencies, and driving technical work across safeguards, platform, and product engineering teams.
The role does not require a life sciences background and will help grow access for the community over time.

Own the program for expanding access to Anthropic's life sciences verification programs: scoping, sequencing, dependencies, and tradeoffs across safeguards, platform, and product engineering teams
Scope and drive the cross-org engineering work that each expansion requires, from new plan and account types to new platforms
Partner with the product manager to turn program goals into a sequenced plan with clear owners and dates
Drive clarity on data access, retention, and review requirements, and on the changes they require across safeguards, access, and provisioning
Drive user experience scoping across the Claude product surfaces where the program is available
Find and remove the technical blockers that keep eligible organizations from accessing life sciences capabilities
Establish the operating rhythm: a single view of workstreams, owners, dependencies, risks, and status, with planning, escalation paths, and launch coordination across orgs
Convert recurring efforts into documented, repeatable processes so that each new expansion requires less bespoke coordination

Several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs
Experience coordinating across multiple engineering teams and organizations simultaneously, including safeguards, platform, and product partners
Ability to engage meaningfully with the engineers doing the work, from platform and access systems to product surfaces
High organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively across distributed teams
Ability to 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
Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
A field of study relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Location-based hybrid policy expecting staff to be in one of the offices at least 25% of the time, with some roles possibly requiring more time in-office.
