Program Manager, Safeguards Workforce Operations

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As Program Manager for Safeguards Workforce Operations, you’ll own those programs end to end. You’ll run onboarding, offboarding, device provisioning and access provisioning for every worker type we use, working hands-on with the requests themselves while you build the processes that make them repeatable. You’ll partner with Enforcement leads to turn shifting priorities into capacity plans, and carry those plans through with our vendor partners. Because this role supports every Safeguards Enforcement program, you’ll also connect the dots across Anthropic, working with IT, People Operations, Security, Contingent Workforce, Human Data Operations and other teams running scaled human review to streamline practices and keep standards consistent.

What it asks for · 7

• Have personally run onboarding, offboarding, access and device provisioning for contractor, vendor or BPO workforces — doing the work, not only overseeing it
• Have operated scaled human review programs with vendors or BPOs, such as trust & safety, content moderation or data annotation operations
• Have taken a broken or ad hoc process, made it scalable, and brought other teams along in adopting it
• Understand the fundamentals of capacity planning: how volume, handle time, quality targets, ramp and attrition turn into workforce needs
• Exercise sound judgment on access and permissions, and know when to bring in IT or Security
• Move quickly and stay effective when priorities change and information is incomplete
• Build alignment through direct partnership with the teams you depend on

Also a plus

• Owned a vendor or BPO relationship directly, including service levels and business reviews
• Built formal capacity models for review or operations workforces
