About The Position

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that are safe and beneficial for users and society. The Beneficial Deployments team ensures AI reaches and benefits communities in need by partnering with nonprofits, governments, and mission-driven organizations. This role focuses on extending Anthropic's health work into US public health, shaping engagement with the US public health system and managing partnerships at federal, state, and local levels. The position blends partnership management with strategy development, requiring credibility in the US public health ecosystem, technical fluency in AI deployment, and comfort operating in an emerging area. Unlike Account Executives who drive scaled product adoption, Partnership Managers build deep partnerships involving custom deployments, research collaboration, and program design, focusing on driving impact metrics and creating ecosystem learnings.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in US public health, health policy, or public sector health innovation.
5+ years managing external partnerships, multi-stakeholder initiatives, or programs spanning government and civil society.
Deep relationships and credibility in the US public health ecosystem (key players at CDC, state health departments, major schools of public health, and funding foundations).
Working understanding of how federal, state, and local public health agencies operate, fund programs, and adopt new technology.
Technical fluency to engage credibly on AI concepts, understand LLM capabilities and limitations, and partner effectively with technical teams.
Experience building programs or portfolios in early-stage environments.
High agency and comfort with ambiguity.
Genuine drive to strengthen the public health system and the communities it serves.
Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.

An MPH or related credential.
Experience inside a federal or state health agency (CDC, HHS, a state DOH) or an organization working closely with them.
Background in epidemiology, ideally with hands-on surveillance experience.
Experience working in a global context.
Experience at a healthtech company, AI organization, or in a product-adjacent role.

Responsibilities

Contribute to Anthropic's US public health strategy, identifying priority partners and use cases, and informing broader health work with field insights.

Translate partner needs into deployment plans that account for legacy systems and workforce realities.
Support the creation of shared resources and digital public goods for responsible AI use.
Build the evidence base by partnering with academic and evaluation organizations to study effectiveness.
Represent Anthropic at public health convenings and with funders and policymakers.
Help shape team processes as the US public health area grows, and hand off opportunities suited for scaled sales or public sector motions.
