Technical Program Manager, Recruiting Technology

Details

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The Recruiting Technology TPM will own planning and execution that connects third-party platform configuration, custom internal tooling, analytics and forecasting, core people systems, and an AI tooling layer. This role partners with Recruiting and People leadership and sits inside the centralized Technical Program Management organization to build cross-team programs and evolve recruiting workflows (including deeper integration of Claude) and the long-term TPM model for the People org.

Responsibilities

• Build and run the cross-team planning and operating cadence for recruiting technology: a shared roadmap, clear DRIs, sequenced dependencies, and a single source of truth on priorities and status for Recruiting leadership
• Drive the highest-priority cross-team programs end to end, from scoping and tradeoff decisions through delivery, across teams that don't share a reporting line
• 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
• Partner with engineering and AI teams to bring Claude deeper into the recruiting workflow, balancing speed of adoption with controls and human-in-the-loop design
• Connect recruiting to company-wide planning: build the link to roadmaps across the business so headcount needs are visible early and recruiting can staff proactively
• Own build-vs-buy and vendor evaluations where they cross team boundaries, including security, contract, and integration tradeoffs
• Establish program infrastructure: governance, status reporting, risk tracking, and escalation paths for leadership decision-making
• 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 with a track record of building cross-functional programs from scratch in ambiguous environments
• Experience driving planning and execution across teams that don't share a reporting line and influencing without authority
• Technical depth in systems integration: APIs, data flows between SaaS platforms, and tradeoffs between configuring third-party tools and building custom solutions
• Experience with recruiting/HR technology or close partnership with recruiting operations: understanding how an ATS, HRIS, scheduling, and analytics stack fit together
• Ability to build trust with engineers, recruiters, analysts, and executives and to translate between them
• Comfortable shaping a role and processes where scope and long-term model are still being defined
• Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education/training/experience

Strong candidates may also have

• Background in recruiting operations, people analytics, or HR tech 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 when the function is new to them
