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:

We're hiring a Product Operations Manager to work directly with our Product and Engineering teams on our Growth, Enterprise, and Verticals team. They will build, launch, and improve bleeding edge products that make the most of our frontier models’ capabilities.

The Product Operations team connects strategy to execution by creating alignment up, down, and across the company. They will work closely with Product Managers and Engineers to identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, enhance decision-making processes, and scale our Product’s impact. Working as an extension of the product leadership team, they will balance hands-on tactical execution with strategic initiatives, bringing a pragmatic eye for scale and operationalization in a fit-for-purpose way.

The Research Product Team is responsible for launching our new models into the wild. They are the connective tissue between our Research Org, our internal product teams, and our users themselves.

The ideal candidate will be hands-on and have experience building and operationalizing end-to-end product delivery. They are passionate about creating scalable systems that help Product teams better understand users. This includes implementing feedback loops, developing planning frameworks, and designing launch playbooks that elevate our Product organization's effectiveness.

Mission-aligned with building safe and beneficial AI systems
Track record of building processes and programs from 0 to 1 and scaling them thoughtfully

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.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses.

Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day.

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.
