The opportunity
As Program Manager on Anthropic's Communications team, you'll be the person the Communications team relies on when stakes are highest: product launches, major announcements, and fast-moving reactive situations. You'll turn complexity into clarity — structuring the work,…
What you'll do
Run the operating rhythm for major campaigns: planning, prioritization, status reporting that keeps leadership informed without slowing the team down, and retrospectives that produce real improvements
Translate fast-changing, ambiguous projects into clear workstreams, owners,: timelines, and decision points, so the comms team always knows what's happening, who owns what, and which decisions are needed when
Serve as a strategic thought partner: bring recommendations, surface risks and tradeoffs early, and drive decisions under pressure
Build alignment and drive accountability across a wide range of: cross-functional partners (Product, Marketing, Policy, Legal, Research, and executive teams), often without formal authority
Anticipate operational bottlenecks before they hit and resolve them, often: with incomplete information and compressed timelines
Design and continuously improve the team's operating framework: launching playbooks, crisis response protocols, escalation paths, and cross-team coordination models, so each subsequent cycle becomes easier
What they're looking for
- Have 10+ years of experience in program management, communications: operations, or a closely-related discipline, including significant time working in or alongside communications teams
- Deeply understand how communications functions work: how campaigns are built, how media moments unfold, and how crisis response operates in practice
- Have led complex, high-visibility programs under pressure, with a track: record of bringing calm, structure, and momentum to chaotic situations
- Have experience with high-growth teams whose processes need to scale as fast as they are
