Legal Program Manager – Compute & Infrastructure

About the role

Anthropic is looking for an exceptional Legal Program Manager to act as the operational backbone of contracting for its Compute and Infrastructure team. You will oversee a high volume of procurement and vendor agreements—including datacenter colocation, lease, build‑to‑suit, hardware, chip, network‑equipment, construction, facilities and O&M contracts—while creating scalable contracting processes that keep pace with Anthropic’s rapid infrastructure buildout.

Key responsibilities

• Coordinate and shepherd a high volume of compute and infrastructure procurement transactions from intake through signature.
• Own and administer the contract lifecycle management system, including workflow design, templates, approval routing, signing, archiving, and data integrity.
• Design and run intake and triage processes to prioritize and route requests to the appropriate owners.
• Propose and develop scalable solutions to improve contracting efficiency and throughput across the vendor base.
• Collaborate with business units and legal teams to streamline contract management, manage post‑signature obligations, renewals, and risk identification.
• Partner with Compute & Infrastructure, Product, Finance, Security, Business Operations, and Procurement Ops to deliver strategic, business‑focused counsel.
• Build reporting, dashboards, SLAs, and metrics to surface turnaround times and bottlenecks.
• Deploy LLM and AI tooling to scale contracting throughput and reduce manual handling.

Required profile

• Experience operating in a fast‑paced technology startup where priorities shift rapidly and schedules “move to the left,” thriving in a dynamic environment and demonstrating strong adaptability.
