Program Manager, Marketing Events

About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to drive cross-functional initiatives vital to scaling Anthropic's marketing events operation and driving growth. This collaborative leader will partner across the organization to plan and execute new programs and projects. The role sits within a combined Programs organization responsible for driving key work across Anthropic, with a focus on marketing events execution—from flagship conferences to strategic industry presence. We are seeking someone who loves driving clarity from ambiguity, rallying colleagues around clear goals, and striving to make every project better than the last.

In this role, you will be the operational backbone of our marketing events, ensuring teams stay coordinated and aligned throughout each phase of event execution. Your primary focus will be on execution excellence—from maintaining clear timelines and dependencies across teams to establishing efficient processes that help us move faster and more effectively across regions.

Responsibilities:

• Lead cross-functional coordination efforts for key marketing events from start to finish, including building scalable processes
• Collaborate with Marketing, Sales, and Product teams to define, scope, and sequence major program elements (e.g., product demos, presentation development)
• Develop detailed project plans, timelines, and resourcing strategies for events
• Establish scalable program management frameworks, playbooks, and best practices
• Lead cross-functional coordination and planning for complex event programs
• Provide clear and transparent reporting on program status, issues, and risks
• Provide on-the-ground support at various events, with moderate travel required

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 5+ years of experience leading end-to-end event program management
• Have expertise in change management and process development for global events
• Have a track record managing business-critical, cross-functional initiatives in high-growth environments
• Have exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, enabling you to influence without authority
• Have a high threshold for navigating ambiguity while maintaining attention to detail
• Thrive in fast-paced environments and can adapt processes to meet evolving needs
• Are passionate about Anthropic's mission and committed to ensuring AI is developed safely

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:$190,000—$230,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.  Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
