TPM Manager, Infrastructure

About Anthropic

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

Anthropic’s Infrastructure organization is responsible for the systems that train our models, serve our products, and support our engineering teams. That includes datacenter operations, capacity planning across cloud providers and our own facilities, accelerator cluster management, production serving infrastructure, developer tooling, data pipelines, and networking. It’s a lot of surface area, and the demands on it are growing fast.

We’re hiring a TPM leader to own program management across this whole ecosystem from compute provisioning through to production workloads. We’re bringing up new datacenters, scaling multi-cloud compute across AWS, GCP, and Azure, managing datacenter construction, and building the software infrastructure to keep pace. The team is growing very quickly, and we’re looking for a senior leader with experience at scale to build and scale this team to support Anthropic’s rapid growth. You’ll report to the Head of TPM, partnering closely with various engineering leaders on technical strategy, roadmapping, and aligning TPM support where it is most impactful.

You’ll personally drive 2–3 critical programs while leading your teamin parallel. This is a role where you need to be comfortable doing the work yourself before you can hand it off.

What you'll do:

IC Program Leadership

Own and drive 2–3 of the highest-priority programs across infrastructure while you build the team

Run the actual programs—datacenter bring-up timelines, capacity scaling plans, infrastructure migrations, cross-team reliability efforts, or whatever the most pressing needs are

Build the processes and playbooks as you go—figure out what works by doing it, then codify it for the team

Earn credibility with engineering leads through solid execution, not just strategy

Team Building & Development

Set the standard for what good TPM work looks like in this domain through your own output

Coach and develop TPMs

Transition programs to your team as you hire

Grow the team with excellent TPMs by defining roles, writing JDs, sourcing candidates, and closing hires

Planning & Prioritization

Work with various engineering leads to identify work that would most benefit from TPM support

Make real tradeoffs about what to staff vs. what to skip given limited TPM capacity during the build phase

Maintain portfolio-level visibility across programs—status, risks, dependencies, blockers

Represent the team in planning cycles and leadership reviews

Cross-functional Coordination

Coordinate across Infrastructure and partner teams (Research, Product, Security, Finance, Legal) on programs that span organizational boundaries

Drive alignment on programs that cross the hardware/software line—e.g., capacity plans that feed into training schedules, or efficiency work that spans accelerator kernels and serving systems

Own executive communication on program status, risks, and resource needs

You May Be a Good Fit If You:

Have 10+ years of experience in technical program management, with 7+ years directly managing TPMs and ideally some experience leading larger TPM organizations

Have built a team or function from scratch before—you know the difference between hiring for a defined role vs. figuring out what the roles should be

Have scaled TPM teams to support rapidly-growing, fast-moving company environments

Have worked across physical and software infrastructure—datacenters, networking, hardware ops, distributed systems, cloud platforms, developer tooling. You don’t need to be deep in all of it, but you need to be conversant enough to ask the right questions and spot th …
