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 a Technical Program Manager for model evaluations, you’ll own end-to-end coordination of our evaluation ecosystem—building a feedback loop from shaping eval strategy during early model development through launch execution. You’ll be the critical bridge between Research, Product, Marketing, and Engineering teams. This role sits at the intersection of frontier AI research and product launches. Evals are an important part of how we measure whether our models meet the bar—for capability, safety, and competitive positioning. Beyond launch coordination, you’ll help scale our evals ecosystem: from early-stage model evals for RL environments, to the systems and infrastructure on which evals run, to tooling that enables the whole pipeline. A strong TPM in this space can immediately reduce chaos during launches while also driving systemic improvements that compound over time.

Key Responsibilities

Standardize how evaluation results are generated, documented, compared across model versions, and communicated to stakeholders

Own end-to-end eval readiness for model launches—tracking which evals are ready, which need scores on past models, and which meet the bar for marketing materials

Establish and enforce clear criteria for eval inclusion: scores on historical models, state-of-the-art performance, and competitor comparisons

Coordinate between research teams, marketing, and product to consolidate eval status into a single source of truth

Maintain a high bar: ensure reported statistics reflect model capabilities in an honest, accurate, and transparent way

Ecosystem Development

Get involved early in model development cycles, helping shape eval plans for RL environments

Partner with research and infrastructure teams to improve underlying evals infrastructure—eval-syncer reliability, results storage and querying, automation capabilities

Drive prioritization of eval tooling enhancements based on researcher needs

Identify patterns across launches and drive systemic fixes rather than point solutions

Work with PMs and researchers to improve and implement high priority evals launches

Maintain and prioritize the eval roadmap—working with cross‑functional teams to identify which new evals are needed for upcoming launches and product requirements

Implement an operating model that reflects an evals environment with increasing complexity

Process & Systems

Build lightweight but rigorous tracking systems—moving key information into structured formats that enable better decision‑making

Create eval dashboards that provide real‑time visibility into training progress on hero evals, enabling earlier intervention when scores look concerning

Document eval processes, requirements, and lessons learned to build institutional knowledge

Coordinate compute allocation for large‑scale evals with infrastructure teams

You May Be a Good Fit If You

Have 5+ years of technical program management experience with a track record of bringing order to chaotic, high‑stakes coordination problems

Possess scientific depth and a very high quality bar for data

Have experience with ML/AI evaluation methodologies, benchmarking, or research quality assurance

Have a background in research operations, scientific publishing, or data quality management

Have previous experience as data analyst, data scientist, or software engineer

Can build trust with research teams by understanding their work deeply enough to add value beyond coordination

Are skilled at cross‑functional coordination involving research, product, marketing, and engineering—navigating competing priorities and driving alignment

Have working familiarity with data analysis tools (SQL, Python, or similar) for querying eval results and building dashboards

Have familiarity with LLM capabilities and limitations and experience working with AI research teams

Excel at written and verbal communication, translating technical nuance for marketing stakeholders while maintaining precision

Thrive in unstructured environments with a bias toward action and a knack for creating clarity in ambiguous situations

Have extremely high ownership and attention to detail

Compensation The expected base compensation for this position is $290,000—$365,000 USD per year. Our total compensation package for full‑time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
