Technical Program Manager, Recruiting Technology

Details

Anthropic is seeking a Technical Program Manager to lead the planning, execution, and technical integration of recruiting technology initiatives. The role connects teams responsible for third-party platform configuration, custom internal tooling, analytics and forecasting, core people systems, and AI tooling. It sits within the centralized Technical Program Management organization and partners directly with Recruiting and People leadership.

The role will also help evolve recruiting through the use of Claude, connect recruiting technology to company-wide roadmaps and headcount planning, and define the long-term model for TPM support within the People organization.

Responsibilities

• Build and run the cross-team planning and operating cadence for recruiting technology, including a shared roadmap, clear DRIs, sequenced dependencies, and a single source of truth for priorities and status.
• Drive high-priority cross-team programs end to end, from scoping and tradeoff decisions through delivery, across teams that do not share a reporting line.
• Lead technical interconnection work across third-party platforms, internal custom tooling, and data and analytics layers.
• Partner with engineering and AI teams to bring Claude deeper into recruiting workflows while balancing adoption speed with controls and trustworthy human-in-the-loop design.
• Connect recruiting to company-wide planning and business roadmaps so headcount needs are visible early and recruiting can staff proactively.
• Own build-versus-buy and vendor evaluations across team boundaries, including security, contract, and integration tradeoffs.
• Establish program infrastructure, including governance, status reporting, risk tracking, and escalation paths.
• Help define the durable model for TPM support in the People organization, including scope, headcount, and reporting structure.

Requirements

• 6+ years of technical program management experience.
• Track record of building cross-functional programs from scratch in ambiguous environments.
• Experience driving planning and execution across teams without a shared reporting line and influencing without authority.
• Technical depth in systems integration, APIs, data flows between SaaS platforms, and the tradeoffs between configuring third-party tools and building custom solutions.
• Experience with or close to recruiting, People, or HR technology, including understanding how ATS, HRIS, scheduling, and analytics systems fit together.
• Ability to build trust with engineers, recruiters, analysts, and executives and translate between them.
• Interest in using AI to change how core business functions operate.
• Comfort working in a role that is still being defined.

Additional Qualifications

• Background in recruiting operations, People analytics, or HR technology product management.
• Experience integrating AI or LLM-based tooling into operational workflows.
• Familiarity with headcount planning, workforce planning, or connecting business roadmaps to hiring plans.
• Experience teaching partner teams how to work with technical program management.

Education

• Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
• Field of study relevant to the role, as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Compensation

• Annual salary: $290,000–$365,000 USD.

Work Policy and Visa Sponsorship

• Hybrid policy: Staff are expected to work from one of Anthropic's offices at least 25% of the time; some roles may require more office time.
• Anthropic sponsors visas and will make every reasonable effort to obtain a visa for candidates who receive an offer, although sponsorship is not guaranteed for every role or candidate.

Benefits

Anthropic offers competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and an office space for collaboration.
