About the Role

Anthropic is growing fast and recruiting is one of the highest-leverage functions in the company. Were constantly investing in systems and processes to support our rapid scale and enable our recruiters and hiring teams to be more efficient. The current technology stack is built and operated by several teams across third-party platform configuration custom internal tooling analytics and forecasting core people systems and an AI tooling layer.

Were looking for a Technical Program Manager to own the planning and execution rhythm that connects these teams drive the technical interconnection of the systems and give Recruiting leadership a single coherent view of priorities dependencies and progress.

Youll help evolve how recruiting functions through the use of Claude connecting that work to where the broader company is going. That includes building the bridge between recruiting and company-wide roadmap and headcount planning so were staffing proactively rather than reacting.

This is a first-of-its-kind role at Anthropic. It sits within the centralized Technical Program Management organization and partners directly with Recruiting and People leadership. Part of the job will be to help us figure out the right long-term model for TPM support for the People org.

• Lead the technical interconnection work: integration across third-party platforms internal custom tooling and the data and analytics layer so information flows cleanly end to end

• Have worked with or close to recruiting people or HR technology and understand how an ATS HRIS scheduling and analytics stack fit together
• Can build trust with engineers recruiters analysts and executives and translate between them
• Are genuinely excited about using AI to change how a core business function works and curious about what recruiting looks like when frontier AI is in the loop on every step
• Thrive when the role itself is still being defined and see shaping it as part of the job

How were 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. Were 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.
