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
- As a Research Product Manager for the Labs teams at Anthropic, you will own the ideation and development of new, moonshot products as we advance transformative, safe AI. The Labs team runs Anthropic's most ambitious experiments: new product categories that don't exist yet. The team focuses on 0-to-1 product development, taking our most advanced research and transforming it into innovative applications like Claude Code and MCP.
- We seek experienced founders and product managers who can bridge pure research and ambitious product experimentation, with the ability to identify and ultimately define entirely new product categories enabled by AI.
Responsibilities
- Work with researchers to understand what's emerging and what it means for users
- Identify nascent research capabilities that could become transformative products
- Build prototypes yourself to validate ideas before committing resources
- Lead 0-to-1 product development from research to internal prototypes to shipped products
- Define product strategy for experimental initiatives that push beyond our current offerings
- Creatively build MVPs and prototypes to validate product-market fit with the lowest cost possible
- Lead vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution of frontier technologies that leverage the latest AI capabilities to solve real-world problems
You might be a good fit if you
- Have 5+ years in product management, with experience launching new products and scaling existing products. Founder background is a plus.
- Possess a deep technical background with experience working cross-functionally with engineering teams to ship technical products.
- Have the ability to navigate and execute amidst ambiguity, and to flex into different domains based on the business problem at hand, finding simple, easy-to-understand solutions
- Have a track record of launching ambitious products that have found distribution or commercial success
- Think creatively about the risks and benefits of new technologies, and think beyond past checklists and playbooks
- Stay up-to-date and hands-on with emerging research and industry trends
- Prototype with AI tools like Claude Code
- The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
- For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
How we're different
- We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
- The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
