Technical Program Manager, Product

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to own and drive the end-to-end process of product launches, from planning and development to execution and post-launch analysis. This role requires strong technical expertise, program management skills, and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful and timely product releases. You will align cross-functional stakeholders and drive execution across Product, Go to Market, Engineering, and Research teams. As one of the first members of the company’s centralized TPM team, you’ll have the opportunity to make a foundational impact as you contribute to the scaling of the TPM function for the company.

Though your primary focus will be on product launches, you will likely also have the opportunity to drive other programs that span the broader Engineering org and the company. Extremely strong soft skills are paramount, as our team will be front and center in driving lots of company-wide changes and top priority initiatives that require generating buy-in, balancing various opinions, and competing for attention in our rapidly scaling environment. This role is a great fit for someone who has both seen excellence at scale and operated in rapidly scaling, high-ambiguity teams and scope.

We are seeking candidates with deep TPM expertise but who are comfortable acting as adaptable generalists who add value fast. We excel at maintaining a broad view of our work but diving deep into the details when necessary. We understand business goals, translate and organize them into technical programs and projects, and drive execution. We are adept at engaging with both non-technical and technical stakeholders at all levels of the company, including executive leadership.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with engineering leaders to define, scope, and sequence major technical initiatives and projects.
• Lead cross-functional coordination and planning for multiple complex engineering projects, acting as the glue between product, engineering, and business orgs.
• Develop detailed project plans, timelines, and resourcing strategies for technical projects and initiatives.
• Develop and manage systems, processes, and tools to support technical program management and increase team productivity.
• Establish scalable program management frameworks, playbooks, and best practices.
• Provide clear and transparent reporting on program status, issues, and risks to executives and stakeholders.
• Foster a culture of accountability, rigor, and continuous improvement on the technical program management team.

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex technical programs.
• Have experience executing technical programs that require systems and engineering-level knowledge.
• Have exceptionally strong interpersonal and communication skills that enable you to influence without authority, build cross-organizational support, cooperation and action around initiatives and process adoption.
• Have a high threshold for navigating ambiguity and are able to balance setting strategic priorities with rapid, high-quality execution.
• Thrive in unstructured environments, and have a knack for bringing order to chaos.
• Are passionate about Anthropic’s mission and ensuring AI is developed safely.

The expected salary range for this position is: Annual Salary: $300,000—$320,000 USD.
