About the role

The Alignment Special Ops team identifies and executes some of the most neglected, high-leverage projects across Anthropic's Alignment org and beyond. We're a small team with a broad mandate and our work takes us across the entire company (and often, the broader safety research ecosystem). You will accelerate technical research, incubate new research efforts, and drive high-priority initiatives that don't have a natural home elsewhere (e.g., the Anthropic Fellows Program ). You'll own 3-4 special projects at a time. These are generally ambiguous, cross-functional problems that need someone to define the goal and approach, build the plan, coordinate the team, and drive to a result. This role is in-person in San Francisco, CA.

Responsibilities

The team's project list changes often, and some work is confidential. Below is representative of the kinds of things you'd do:

Scope, plan, and drive model evaluation projects end-to-end: understand the goal with researchers, coordinate contributors across teams & externally, staff efforts, and produce deliverables on a tight deadline

Manage external research collaborators-onboarding, expectation-setting, contracts, and handling edge cases as they arise

Synthesize complex information into decision-relevant inputs for leadership so they can move quickly

Identify new projects the company should take on, make the case in writing, get buy-in, and execute

You May Be a Good Fit If You

Have 5+ years in chief-of-staff, program management, operations, or similar roles in a research, technical, or fast-moving environment (e.g., consulting, startups)

Can take a loosely-scoped problem, define a goal, break it into concrete steps, and execute without waiting for direction

Have built and managed teams, programs, or functions from scratch

Write clearly and concisely-you default to a one-page doc over a five-page one

Are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information

Can hold the details of multiple workstreams simultaneously while context-switching between them

Are deeply motivated by Anthropic's mission of ensuring the world safely manages the transition through transformative AI

Strong Candidates May Also Have

Experience working directly with researchers, especially in AI safety or machine learning

Familiarity with the AI safety research landscape, key organizations, and ongoing debates

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.

Annual Salary:

$210,000 - $290,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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.
