About Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Backed by Accel, Bessemer and General Catalyst.

About the role

Anthropic's Safeguards organization builds the policies, evaluations, and detection and enforcement systems that define and hold the limits on how Claude can be used. Within Safeguards, our Policy, Enforcement, and Threat Intelligence teams work as one org: Policy Design defines what is and isn't allowed across harm areas, Enforcement detects and acts on violations, and Threat Intelligence investigates sophisticated misuse and emerging threats. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience running cross-functional programs in a fast-moving technical environment, with a track record of shipping on time across teams you don't manage
  • Ability to bring structure to ambiguous work: breaking big goals into plans, owners, and milestones, and keeping them current as priorities shift
  • Strong written communication, including clear status updates, decision records, and summaries for executive audiences
  • Experience managing review and approval processes with multiple stakeholders, such as publications, launches, or policy releases
  • Judgment about when a process helps and when it's overhead, and a bias toward the lightest process that works
  • Comfort working on sensitive topics and holding high standards for confidentiality

That work runs across a lot of teams and moves fast. A single decision can touch model training, detection systems, product launches, legal review, and external communications. As the org's program manager, you'll keep all of it moving: tracking the portfolio across all three teams, running the processes that connect their work to each other and to the rest of the company, and making sure the right people are aligned before...
