Senior Program Manager, Claude Corps (Fellow Experience)

Location: Remote (U.S.), with regular travel for in-person events

Role type: Full-time

Reports to: Kelly Mosher, Program Lead, Claude Corps

Compensation: $130,000 to $155,000

About Claude Corps

In June 2026, Anthropic and CodePath launched Claude Corps, a $150M national fellowship. It places 1,000 paid, AI-skilled fellows in 12-month roles at mission-driven organizations across the country. Anthropic funds the program and sets strategy. CodePath employs the fellows and leads their training and programming.

The program is growing fast. Cohort 1 started in October 2026 with 100 fellows. Cohort 2 starts in March 2027 with 300. Cohort 3 starts in late summer 2027 with 600. Many fellows relocate to a new city for the year, so their experience, from offer letter to last day, decides whether the program works.

About the role

You'll be the Program Lead's right hand: a senior program manager who can take a whole area of Claude Corps, set the plan, and run it without being managed day to day. That frees Kelly to focus on program operations and strategy across the fellowship.

Your first area is the fellow experience, which today has no single end-to-end owner. You'll own how we communicate with, connect, and gather fellows, from offer through their last day. As the program scales, your scope will shift to wherever the biggest gap is. That could mean host organization experience or another part of the program, and future hires (for example, a community manager) may report to you.

This is a generalist role by design. We're hiring for strong program management judgment, not a single specialty.

What success looks like

First 30 days: learn it and take the wheel

Get to know Cohort 1 (100 fellows live now), the mentor team, and our Anthropic partners

Map the fellow journey from offer to day one, and name the three biggest gaps

Take over day-to-day fellow communications (program inbox, fellow Slack, regular updates) from your manager

Lock the Cohort 2 onboarding plan for 300 fellows: timeline, host matching updates, and relocation guidance

Days 31 to 60: deliver Cohort 2 Basecamp

Run the week-long Cohort 2 Basecamp kickoff (starting Feb 22) with our event agency and curriculum team. You'll own the run of show, attendee experience, and on-site problem solving

Get every Cohort 2 fellow from signed offer to day one with clear, consistent communication

Days 61 to 90: build for scale

Launch a fellow support model that a small team can run for 1,000 fellows: self-serve resources, AI-assisted answers, and clear escalation to mentors, HR, and program leads

Stand up community rituals and peer structures that don't depend on you to run

Report engagement, satisfaction, and retention to CodePath and Anthropic leadership

6 to 12 months

Cohort 3 (600 fellows) onboards on playbooks you wrote, with fewer people and fewer hours than Cohort 2

You've documented what works so another team could pick it up and run it

You've taken on a second program area where we need it most

What you'll do

Own the plan. Set direction for your program area, make clear trade-offs, and tie the work to outcomes like fellow retention and engagement

Run the details. Keep many workstreams moving at once and close loops without reminders

Communicate well. Set honest expectations with fellows, keep the Claude Corps voice consistent, and keep host organizations informed in coordination with Anthropic's host team

Build systems, not heroics. Use AI, including Claude, every day, and choose tools that let a small team serve thousands of people

Partner widely. Work closely with the mentor team, curriculum, HR, outside vendors, and Anthropic partners

What we're looking for

Required

7+ years in program management, including owning a cohort-based program, fellowship, or member community end to end

You've set direction for a program area yourself, not only carried out someone else's plan

You can show how you run a heavy, changing workload: your system, what slipped once, and what you changed afterward

You've moved work from manual to systematic, and you use AI tools hands-on in your daily work

You write clearly and warmly and adjust your tone for fellows, executives, and partners

You can travel to multi-day events several times a year, including February and late summer 2027

Preferred Experience

Experience in two or more of: participant communications, community building, or large in-person events with an outside agency

Fellowships, service programs like AmeriCorps, or early-career talent programs

Supporting participants through a relocation or major life transition

Experience at a nonprofit, in education, or at a fast-growing startup
