About the job
Anthropic is seeking a Partnerships Manager to expand its health initiatives into the US public health sector. This role involves shaping engagement strategies with the US public health system and managing key partnerships at federal, state, and local levels. It offers a unique blend of partnership management and strategic contribution, ideal for someone with credibility in US public health, technical understanding of AI deployment, and comfort navigating emerging areas. Unlike Account Executives who focus on scaled product adoption, this role builds deep partnerships requiring custom deployments, research collaborations, and hands-on program design, aiming to drive impact metrics and generate learnings for the broader ecosystem.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to US public health strategy, identifying priority partners and use cases, and feeding field insights back to the team.
- Manage a portfolio of flagship deployments, coordinating with Applied AI, product, policy, and GTM teams to achieve impact.
- Source, evaluate, and onboard new partners, structuring engagements within government procurement, data governance, and privacy constraints.
- Translate partner needs into deployment plans that consider legacy systems and workforce realities.
- Support the creation of shared resources and digital public goods for responsible AI use in the field.
- Build evidence by partnering with academic and evaluation organizations to study AI effectiveness.
- Represent Anthropic at public health convenings, with funders, and policymakers.
- Help shape team processes and hand off opportunities suitable for scaled sales or public sector motions.
- Travel to partner sites and headquarters approximately every 6 weeks (around 20% travel).
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 within the US public health ecosystem, including key players at CDC, state health departments, 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 discuss AI concepts, understand LLM capabilities and limitations, and collaborate with technical teams.
- Experience building programs or portfolios in early-stage environments.
- High agency and comfort with ambiguity.
- A genuine drive to strengthen the public health system and its communities.
- An MPH or related credential.
