Full Job Description
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

Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
