About Anthropic

About the Role

Scientists use Claude across the life sciences, from drug discovery and research biology to clinical development and manufacturing. To support that work, Anthropic introduced the Life Sciences Verification Program (LSVP), which gives verified life science professionals access to Claude with a refined set of safeguards that is more permissive for biology-related work. The program is in beta.We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to own the program of work that expands that access and helps scale it with safety in mind.

Each expansion depends on many teams at once and no single team owns the path end to end. You'll become the single owner of that program, the person who knows what each expansion requires, where every workstream stands, what it is waiting on, and who needs to decide. This is a cross-org execution role, not a research role, and it does not require a life sciences background. LSVP is the starting point, and the scope will grow alongside Anthropic's broader work in the life sciences. Over time, more of the life sciences community can get verified access, and each new expansion takes less bespoke effort than the last.

Responsibilities

  • Own the program for expanding access to Anthropic's life sciences verification programs: scoping, sequencing, dependencies, and tradeoffs across safeguards, platform, and product engineering teams
  • Scope and drive the cross-org engineering work that each expansion requires, from new plan and account types to new platforms
  • Partner with the product manager to turn program goals into a sequenced plan with clear owners and dates
  • Drive clarity on data access, retention, and review requirements, and on the changes they require across safeguards, access, and provisioning
  • Drive user experience scoping across the Claude product surfaces where the program is available
  • Find and remove the technical blockers that keep eligible organizations from accessing life sciences capabilities
  • Establish the operating rhythm: a single view of workstreams, owners, dependencies, risks, and status, with planning, escalation paths, and launch coordination across orgs
  • Convert recurring efforts into documented, repeatable processes so that each new expansion requires less bespoke coordination

You may be a good fit if you

  • Have several years of experience in technical program management, with a track record of successfully delivering complex, cross-functional programs
  • Have experience coordinating across multiple engineering teams and organizations simultaneously, including safeguards, platform, and product partners
  • Can engage meaningfully with the engineers doing the work, from platform and access systems to product surfaces
  • Are highly organized and can manage multiple parallel workstreams effectively across distributed teams
  • Thrive in unstructured environments with a knack for bringing order to chaos and creating clarity in ambiguous situations
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence without authority
  • Have worked on cloud or platform programs (preferred but not required)
  • Do not need a life sciences background. This is not a research role, and no life sciences experience is required
  • Are passionate about Anthropic's mission and interested in the challenges of bringing AI capabilities to the life sciences community safely and reliably
