Role Type: Full-time Location: Remote (U.S.) Reports To: Head of People Comp : $110,000 - $150,000 About Claude Corps Claude Corps is a fellowship that places early-career talent in nonprofits, government agencies, and public-interest organizations to build AI solutions those organizations can continue using after the fellowship ends. It is a partnership between Anthropic, CodePath, and Social Finance. Fellows are full-time employees for a one-year term. Cohorts now run in the hundreds, and new fellows onboard while earlier cohorts are still placed. We need an HR partner who can support fellows and their managers year-round and run onboarding at that scale. About the role You are the HR partner to Claude Corps program leaders and the AI Practice Leads who manage fellows day to day. You will own onboarding quality and deadlines for each cohort while Sr People Operations Coordinator, reporting to you, runs the day-to-day execution. Your focus shifts throughout the year. As a cohort prepares to start, you spend more time running onboarding and completing the work alongside the Sr. People Operations Coordinator. Once fellows are placed, you spend more time advising managers, addressing employee concerns, and supporting performance. New cohorts will onboard while earlier cohorts are still working, so you will need to balance both responsibilities. This is a senior, hands-on role. You bring sound judgment to employee situations, help managers address issues early, and build clear processes as the program grows. You work closely with the Head of People, the recruiting team, program leaders, Finance, and our HR service providers. As onboarding volume grows, you identify when additional support is needed, define that work, and train and oversee the people helping deliver it. You remain accountable for onboarding quality and deadlines. What you’ll do Partner with program leaders and managers • Advise program leaders and AI Practice Leads on performance, employee concerns, role expectations, and team needs, and help managers set clear expectations and address problems early • Clarify who owns what between fellow managers, host organizations, and the program team when employee questions arise • Identify recurring issues and recommend changes to manager guidance, policies, or how the program operates Manage employee relations and performance issues • Handle employee concerns with care and consistency: gather the facts, document clearly, and bring significant issues and recommended actions to the Head of People • Guide managers through performance conversations, improvement plans, and conduct issues • Manage leave and accommodation requests with the appropriate providers and advisors Own fellow onboarding • Run onboarding for each cohort, from signed offer through the employment steps needed to start: background checks, I-9 and work authorization, employee records, payroll setup, and benefits enrollment • Confirm work locations and coordinate state notices and employment d
