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.

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.
