Details

Anthropic is hiring a Technical Program Manager to own and expand the Life Sciences Verification Program (LSVP), which provides verified life science professionals with access to Claude under safeguards refined for biology-related work. This is a cross-organizational execution role spanning safeguards, platform, and product engineering teams. A life sciences background is not required.

Responsibilities

Own the program for expanding access to Anthropic's life sciences verification programs, including scoping, sequencing, dependencies, and tradeoffs.
Scope and drive cross-organizational engineering work for each expansion, including new plan and account types and new platforms.
Partner with the product manager to convert program goals into sequenced plans with clear owners and dates.
Drive clarity on data access, retention, and review requirements and the resulting changes across safeguards, access, and provisioning.
Drive user experience scoping across Claude product surfaces where the program is available.
Identify and remove technical blockers that prevent eligible organizations from accessing life sciences capabilities.
Establish operating rhythms covering workstreams, owners, dependencies, risks, status, planning, escalation paths, and launch coordination.
Convert recurring efforts into documented, repeatable processes that reduce bespoke coordination for future expansions.

Requirements

Several years of technical program management experience with a track record of delivering complex, cross-functional programs.
Experience coordinating multiple engineering teams and organizations simultaneously, including safeguards, platform, and product partners.
Ability to engage meaningfully with engineers working on platform and access systems and product surfaces.
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams across distributed teams.
Ability to bring structure to ambiguous and unstructured environments.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority.
Experience with cloud or platform programs is preferred but not required.
Life sciences experience is not required; this is not a research role.
Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
A field relevant to the role, as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Benefits

Annual salary of $290,000–$365,000 USD.
Hybrid work policy requiring staff to be in an Anthropic office at least 25% of the time, with some roles requiring more office time.
Visa sponsorship may be available, with immigration lawyer support.
Competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and office collaboration space.
