About the Role

Location: Remote, United States

Role Type: Full-Time, W2 Employee

Reports To: Senior Director, AI Programs

Compensation: $130,000 to $148,000 per year

Start Date: September 21st, ahead of the October 19th cohort launch

Together with Anthropic, CodePath launched Claude Corps in June 2026 — a national fellowship program with a $150 million commitment to place 1,000 AI-trained fellows at nonprofits across America. The mentorship model works, but we need experienced professionals to coach and guide those mentors, and to be responsible for the success of mentor performance and curriculum delivery to Fellows.

A CodePath Mentor coaches about 20 fellows, so a thousand fellows means more than forty mentors — and someone has to own whether all of them actually deliver. That someone is the Senior Manager of AI Practice.

You manage a team of mentors and own the delivery outcome for their fellows: at full scale, about ten mentors and 200 fellows (fewer while the program ramps). You are accountable for whether fellows are actually learning, pod by pod and mentor by mentor. When a mentor's pods stall, when a fellow's work drifts off track, or when the same problem shows up across three pods at once — it is yours to catch and yours to fix.

Curriculum will be developed with your influence. At scale, you own the delivery layer: seeing where it lands across your pods and where it doesn't. You keep Commons central to how your mentors and fellows work, and you close the loop back to the curriculum team so the next version is sharper than the last.

This is a hands-on, operational role that grows with the program. You start by running the first cohort's small mentor team directly and build the delivery systems that let quality hold as the program climbs from 100 fellows to 1,000. A real part of the craft is reading when a lesson should come from a mentor inside a pod and when the whole group needs to hear it from you in real time. This role is built for someone who has run delivery for a team before and would rather raise ten people's game than do all the work themselves.

Key Responsibilities

Manage the Mentor Team

• Manage a team of mentors — about ten at full scale, fewer during the ramp — including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and holding the bar on coaching quality.
• Run your team's operating cadence: weekly syncs, 1:1s, and the escalation path when a mentor or fellow needs help.
• Ensure the day-to-day model actually happens across your team: pull requests reviewed on time, milestone reviews run, and host managers engaged.

Own Delivery for Your Fellows

• Own the delivery outcome for your portfolio — roughly 200 fellows at full scale — focused on whether instruction lands, not whether mentors look busy.
• Own the agenda-based instructional time for your whole portfolio: set the agenda, and decide each session whether to teach it yourself live to everyone at once, or hand it to your mentors to run in their pods.
• Hold the quality framework for mentorship: what good coaching looks like, how it gets reviewed, and what happens when it misses the bar.
• Own the milestone-review roll-up across your fellows, and step in on the ones whose work is at risk.
• Replace hand-tracking with delivery systems that hold at volume — the model ran on spreadsheets at 100 fellows and won't at 1,000.

Own the CodePath-to-Commons Layer

• Partner with Claude Corps strategic partners as their counterpart in the field: see what is landing across your mentors and fellows, and bring it back as structured signal.
• Own how your team uses Commons: the curriculum ships through the platform, and you own whether it is used the way it was designed.
• Turn what you see in the field into curriculum change requests the curriculum team can act on, and close the loop when they ship.

Key Success Metrics

• 100% of your mentors are running their weekly cadence on schedule — verifiable from your dashboard, not from what mentors report in standup.
• You can name where each mentor is strong and where they need help, and your weakest spot has a concrete plan implemented within 30 days.
• You've surfaced your top 3–5 delivery patterns across your fellows to the Claude Corps leadership team, and at least 1 has shipped as a curriculum change.
• You have a single delivery view showing the state of your portfolio at a glance, replacing whatever was hand-tracked before you.

Qualifications

Required

• You have managed people and can point to specific ways you raised a team's performance, ideally technical or coaching staff.
• 3–5 years of technical program management, engineering management, or other program management experience where you directly led cross-functional teams to drive measurable outcomes. You don't have to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable working with technical and non-technical stakeholders to drive programmatic success.
• You can hold a room — teaching a live session and keeping it sharp — because some weeks you are the one in front of the group.
• You have owned a delivery or operations outcome at volume, personally on the hook for its quality.
• You have replaced manual, hand-run processes with systems that held up as the work scaled.
• You have shipped real work using AI-assisted development tools and can describe specifically how your workflow changed — you have to hold your mentors and fellows to that bar.
• Strong written communication: feedback, roll-ups, escalations, and change requests in a remote and mostly asynchronous org.
• Comfortable with remote, synchronous obligations across US time zones and about two evenings a month for cohort sessions and milestone reviews.

Preferred

• You have managed coaches, instructors, or other managers in a bootcamp, fellowship, residency, or other cohort-based program.
• You have scaled a delivery team through fast headcount growth without letting quality slip.
• Comfort with a platform- or LMS-delivered learning model, and reading delivery data to find risk before it surfaces.
