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 is seeking a Certification Development Lead to build and scale a best-in-class certification program for our partner ecosystem. We’ve launched our first certification, the Claude Certified Architect, Foundations (CCA-F), and now we need someone to turn that first credential into a comprehensive, multi-tiered program that our systems integrator, consulting, and technology partners rely on to demonstrate real competence with Claude. This is a 0-to-1 build. You’ll define the certification strategy, design the credential architecture, and build the program infrastructure from the ground up, all with our partner audience at the center. You’ll work at the intersection of program design and subject matter expertise: identifying what partners need to know, structuring the path to get them there, and collaborating with internal SMEs to ensure the content reflects how Claude actually works and where it’s headed. The systems and tooling that deliver certifications are being built by a separate team; your focus is the program itself, the credentialing framework, the partner experience, and the cross-functional relationships that keep it all connected. The broader program strategy, including audience planning, partner relationships, and go-to-market alignment, lives within the Partner Enablement team. You’ll sit at the center of that work, collaborating closely with Partnerships, Applied AI, and GTM Productivity to ensure certifications serve both the partners earning them and the Anthropic teams relying on certified partners to extend our reach.
