- Maintain a risk register tracking risks, exceptions, and risk acceptances; bring difficult decisions to appropriate decision makers
- Partner with internal communications on progress updates and rollouts that affect how employees work with Claude

- Strong background in at least one program domain with ability to ramp up on others quickly; familiarity with relevant terminology
- Experience working closely with ML research teams; understanding of how models are trained and evaluated
