Research Product Manager, Labs

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
