Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Beneficial Deployments ensures AI reaches and benefits the communities that need it most. We partner with nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven organizations to deploy Claude in education, global health, economic mobility, and life sciences, focusing on raising the floor.

We’re looking for a Program Manager to shape and grow our global education initiatives. You’ll build and manage partnerships with organizations serving the world’s most underserved learners, from students in Sub-Saharan Africa gaining internet access for the first time to teachers in India with minimal training and resources.

This is a foundational role where you’ll shape our strategy for deploying AI tutors and teaching assistants across India, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. You’ll work with partners building solutions on top of the Claude API that function in low-connectivity environments, teach in local languages, and prove that world-class education isn’t a luxury good.

The right person will combine deep relationships in global education, technical fluency with LLMs, and the entrepreneurial drive to build something new at the frontier of AI.

This role is distinct from our Account Executive function: while AEs drive scaled adoption of Anthropic’s core products, Program Managers build deep partnerships that require custom deployments, research collaboration, and hands‑on program design. You’ll work with a smaller portfolio of flagship partners where the goal is driving impact metrics and creating learnings that benefit the broader ecosystem.

• Own and execute Anthropic's global education strategy, managing partnerships with edtech organizations, ministries of education, international NGOs, and foundations
• Grow existing partnerships across India, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America, as well as identify, evaluate, and onboard new partners as needed
• Serve as the primary relationship owner for flagship global education partners requiring custom deployments (distinct from standard product sales), coordinating with Applied AI, product, and GTM teams to deliver impact
• Work closely with partners to understand their technical and operational needs and translate them into deployment plans
• Set a research agenda for understanding AI’s impact on education in low-resource settings, partnering with external organizations to study the efficacy of interventions
• Identify opportunities to create technical public goods – open-source tools, datasets, and research – that benefit the broader ecosystem
• Work cross‑functionally with product and research teams to identify ways to improve Claude for education use cases
• Represent Anthropic at global education convenings and conferences
• Help shape team processes and culture as we scale our education work
• Identify when partnership opportunities are better suited for our scaled sales motion and hand off appropriately to Account Executives
• Travel regularly to partner sites across Global South (~30% travel time), plus visits to SF headquarters every 6 weeks for those based outside SF

• 7+ years of experience in global education, international development, or related fields
• 3+ years of experience managing external partnerships, grantmaking, or multi-stakeholder initiatives
• Deep relationships and credibility in the global education ecosystem: you know the key players at major NGOs, foundations, and ministries of education
• Technical fluency to engage credibly on…
