Performance and Talent Program Manager
<div class="content-intro"><h2><strong>About Anthropic</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p></div><h2>About the role</h2>
<p>We are seeking an experienced People Programs Manager to join our Performance & Talent Programs team. This role will own the design and end-to-end execution of Anthropic's performance programs — performance pulses, biannual review cycles, promotions, and the continuous feedback practices that connect them — producing the year-round performance signal that feeds our talent intelligence layer and upholds our performance bar as we scale. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Head of Performance & Talent Programs, and a great fit for a true builder who has both seen performance management excellence at scale and is excited to roll up their sleeves in a rapidly scaling, high-ambiguity environment.</p>
<h2>Key responsibilities</h2>
<ul>
<li>Own end-to-end execution of Anthropic's cyclical performance programs (performance pulses, promotions, biannual review cycles) and the continuous feedback practices between them</li>
<li>Ensure these programs scale durably and uphold Anthropic's performance bar and talent density as the company grows</li>
<li>Design programs to produce useful performance signal year-round and feed it into the talent intelligence layer to inform succession, critical talent identification, and deployment decisions</li>
<li>Partner cross-functionally with People Services on cycle execution, People Products on program tooling, and People Analytics on connecting performance data to broader people data and insights</li>
<li>Iterate on program frameworks (calibration, rating constructs, feedback formats, promotion criteria) based on data, manager feedback, and Anthropic's evolving needs</li>
<li>Lead program redesigns and change management, including stakeholder alignment, rollout planning, and communications</li>
<li>Develop and deliver enablement that helps managers and People Partners run each cycle confidently and consistently</li>
</ul>
<h2>Minimum qualifications</h2>
<ul>
<li>Systems thinker who treats performance programs as a signal-generating system, caring as much about data quality and downstream usefulness as about cycles landing on time</li>
<li>Demonstrated experience shaping performance tooling (Workday, Lattice, CultureAmp, or homegrown) and partnering with People Analytics, with comfort getting into the data yourself</li>
<li>Experience building manager enablement that changes behavior, and supporting leaders through performance, promotion, and talent conversations</li>
<li>Strong program management skills and operational rigor, with a track record of running complex multi-month cycles and keeping dozens of stakeholders in sync</li>
<li>Exceptional communicator, particularly in writing, who thrives in ambiguity and evolving scope</li>
</ul>
<h2>Preferred qualifications</h2>
<ul>
<li>7+ years of experience designing, running, and owning performance management, talent review, or promotion programs, preferably through periods of rapid headcount growth</li>

We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications.

<h2><strong>How we're different</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2><strong>Come work with us!</strong></h2>
<p>Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues. <strong data-stringify-type="bold">Guidance on Candidates' AI Usage:</strong> Learn about <a class="c-link" href="https://www.anthropic.com/candidate-ai-guidance" target="_blank" data-stringify-link="https://www.anthropic.com/candidate-ai-guidance" data-sk="tooltip_parent">our policy</a> for using AI in our application process.</p></div>
