Program Manager, Claude Corps

What you'll do

Own the Claude Corps program plan

• Own and maintain the master program plan across all Claude Corps workstreams, holding a single, accurate view of where things stand and what's at risk
• Track program timelines, launch milestones, communications, and dependency maps across teams
• Manage the day-to-day relationships with our external partners (Anthropic, host organizations, and our fund manager), keeping commitments, timelines, and hand-offs on track

Drive cross-functional alignment

• Run the cadence of planning meetings, status updates, and stakeholder check-ins that keep every workstream moving together
• Clear blockers, and escalate the decisions that need an owner above the workstream level
• Produce executive-level reporting up to the Office of the CEO, plus clear, regular status updates for teams, stakeholders, and partners

Codify the systems that let the program scale

• Codify and systemize mature workstreams so they're documented and hand-off-ready as the program grows
• Design lightweight process and tooling that add rigor without bureaucracy, partnering with our other program and product managers to keep the stack and operating process consistent across teams
• Build the operational backbone that lets Claude Corps scale from its first cohort to thousands of fellows

Required

• 3+ years running complex, multi-stakeholder projects or programs. Capability matters more than pedigree, and standout candidates can be more junior with strong entrepreneurial experience
• Comfortable inheriting a plan, benchmark, or assumption you didn't build and know when to trust it, when to question it, and who to verify it with before acting
• Founding or early-team experience: you've founded a company or worked on a small, fast-moving, high-performing team with a wide scope of ownership and real autonomy. Entrepreneurial side projects count, and they don't have to be in tech
• Exceptional written and visual communication: you can write and wordsmith a press release or a blog post, and the supporting slide decks, visuals, and copy that go with them, tuned for a range of critical stakeholders
• AI-first operations and execution: AI tools and project management software (Claude, Asana) are core to how you work
• A baseline of technical fluency, enough to be a credible, valuable partner to program, product, and engineering team

Preferred

• A track record in a high-growth, fast-moving environment where priorities shift quickly without a full playbook
• Comfort reading program data (a pipeline, a status dashboard) well enough to spot risk to program goals and know what to escalate
