Global Onboarding Program Manager

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

As Anthropic scales rapidly, we're seeking a Global Onboarding Program Manager to ensure every new "Ant" deeply understands and embodies our mission, culture, and values from day one. This role is critical to translating what makes Anthropic unique—our approach to AI safety and our cultural principles—into experiences that inspire new hires to carry these forward into their work.

You'll run our bi-weekly 2-day onboarding program end-to-end while orchestrating across recruiting, workplace, people services, IT, hiring managers, and team-specific onboarding leads. As we expand globally, you'll shape how we deliver exceptional onboarding experiences across distributed offices—whether through centralized programs or tailored regional approaches that maintain our core identity while honoring local contexts.

Responsibilities:

• Own the full onboarding lifecycle: Facilitate live sessions, coordinate logistics, and ensure seamless execution of our 2-day program for new hire cohorts
• Measure and optimize program impact: In partnership with People Services, design and implement measurement frameworks to track onboarding effectiveness across leading indicators (engagement, knowledge retention, connection building) and lagging indicators (30/60/90-day retention, time-to-productivity, manager satisfaction scores)
• Build cross-functional partnerships: Collaborate with technical, operational, and people-focused teams to translate diverse needs into cohesive onboarding experiences
• Drive strategic evolution: Anticipate how onboarding must adapt as we scale, shift business priorities, and expand globally—building contingency plans for variable class sizes and changing requirements
• Execute with precision: Manage every detail from room setup and AV timing to lunch coordination, buddy assignments, and follow-up workflows
• Facilitate with energy: Lead training sessions that leave new hires energized and excited about their Anthropic journey
• Think 6+ months ahead: Stay attuned to business changes, expansion plans, and visa considerations that impact program design

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have proven operational excellence: You've successfully managed complex, multi-stakeholder programs in fast-moving environments
• Are obsessively detail-oriented: You catch typos others miss, think in contingency plans, and nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
• Excel at cross-functional collaboration: You naturally translate between engineering, sales, operations, and executive stakeholders, making everyone feel heard and aligned
• Think strategically about scale: You've navigated hyper-growth environments and understand how to build programs that flex with business needs
• Bring infectious energy: Your enthusiasm is contagious, and you genuinely enjoy creating memorable experiences for others
• Operate with humble curiosity: You approach challenges with a generous spirit, always seeking to understand before being understood

Strong candidates may also have:

• Background in global program management, including navigating visa and regional considerations
• Expertise in both centralized and decentralized onboarding models
• Experience partnering with executive leadership on program vision and strategy

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:$170,000—$230,000 USD
