About Claude Corps

Claude Corps is a fellowship that places early-career talent in nonprofits, government agencies, and public-interest organizations to build AI solutions those organizations can continue using after the fellowship ends. It is a partnership between Anthropic, CodePath, and Social Finance. Fellows are full-time employees for a one-year term.

Each cohort is larger than the last, and every candidate deserves a process that feels organized, responsive, and human. That’s where you come in.

About the role

You’ll own recruiting and selection for Claude Corps, from finding candidates through accepted offers and the handoff to the teams responsible for onboarding and program delivery.

You set the recruiting plan for each cohort: how many fellows we need, when we need them, where we’ll find them, and how we’ll select them. You lead the team that makes it happen, hold the bar for who moves forward, and answer for hiring results to CodePath leadership and our partners.

You’ll partner across Marketing, Anthropic, the Claude Corps program team, and the AI Practice Leads, use data to guide decisions, and use AI to reduce repetitive work.
