Anthropics 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.

Anthropics mission is to create reliable interpretable and steerable AI systems. We believe powerful AI can compress a century of scientific progress into a decade. Claude Science is a big part of building toward that future.

Claude Science is an AI workbench that gives researchers a single environment for work that today spans dozens of disconnected tools literature specialized databases scientific computing analysis and publication-ready outputs. Claude Science already renders protein structures genome tracks and chemical structures natively and coordinates multi-agent workflows with built-in review for citation and calculation errors and were just getting started. Much of this is being built 01 right now in a category no one has defined yet.

Were growing the Claude Science product team. As a Product Manager on Claude Science you will own a major area of the roadmap end to end think expanding into new scientific fields landing new model capabilities with researchers or making the workbench ready for enterprise R&D teams and help shape the overall product direction alongside the rest of the team. Youll spend real time with researchers in academic labs biotech and pharma R&D and research institutes to understand how science actually gets done from hypothesis to analysis to publication and beyond and turn what you learn into shipped product. Youll partner directly with our research teams to make the models better at science help decide which fields and workflows we go after next and shape what it takes for Claude Science to be trusted in enterprise and regulated research environments.

Were looking for experienced product managers and founders with real scientific or technical depth: people who can hold their own in a conversation with a structural biologist or a computational chemist get in the weeds of model transcripts and evals and still zoom out to help define a product category. You thrive in ambiguity uncover non-obvious use cases for nascent capabilities and bring those insights back to research.

Our north star is for Claude Science to accelerate scientific progress across biology chemistry physics and beyond from early discovery through real-world application by an order of magnitude.

• Own vision strategy roadmap and execution for a major area of Claude Science and contribute to overall product direction in a category that is still being defined
• Spend meaningful time with working scientists in interviews working sessions and key customer conversations and synthesize what you learn into clear priorities requirements and success metrics
• Partner with research to make Claude better at science: define target behaviors build and shape evals grounded in real scientific workflows surface failure modes from real usage and feed them back into model development
• Drive model and feature launches in your area end to end: define readiness criteria coordinate across research engineering design and go-to-market run early access programs and make sure launches land well with researchers
• Identify which scientific domains data sources tools and integrations Claude Science should support next and build the case with evidence from users usage data and the broader landscape
• Prototype ideas yourself with Claude to validate them before committing engineering time
• Work with safeguards policy security and go-to-market partners so that powerful scientific capabilities reach trusted researchers responsibly including in enterprise and regulated research settings
• Drive enterprise readiness security and compliance reviews admin and deployment controls and the procurement realities of pharma and biotech so large organizations can adopt it with confidence
• Prioritize ruthlessly across a broad surface scientific domains customer segments and competing workflows and make clear calls on what our products serve deeply first holding the line on MVP versus ideal state
• Define how success is measured for AI research and development products adoption and retention among working scientists and operators time-to-result on real analyses trust in outputs and use those measures to steer planning
• Maintain an objective current view of the AI-for-science ecosystem models tools benchmarks and competitors and of where Claude Science stands within it

• Have product management experience shipping technical products in close partnership with engineering and design or equivalent experience driving product direction as a founder engineer or scientist
• Have a scientific or deeply technical background enough to reason with domain experts about their workflows and to diagnose where and why a model is falling short on a scientific task
• Have a strong grasp of AI and LLM concepts use AI tools daily and are comfortable going deep on model behavior prompting and evaluation methodology
• Are data-driven: you ground prioritization in usage data eval results and evidence from users rather than intuition alone
• Have strong user empathy and can synthesize vague or contradictory feedback from expert users into actionable priorities
• Navigate and execute amid ambiguity as a first-principles thinker flexing across scientific domains based on the problem at hand and finding simple easy-to-understand solutions
• Communicate clearly in writing and can align research engineering and go-to-market stakeholders through influence rather than authority
• Think carefully and creatively about the risks and benefits of putting frontier scientific capabilities into the world beyond past checklists and playbooks

• 8 years in product management or equivalent product leadership including taking products from 0 to 1 and scaling them; founder experience is a plus
• An advanced degree or hands-on research experience in biology chemistry physics materials science or a related field or experience building software for scientists (e.g. computational biology cheminformatics lab informatics simulation or scientific data platforms)
• Have personally built evals or benchmarks for model capabilities ideally agentic or scientific ones
• Experience shipping products into life sciences pharma or other regulated research environments including familiarity with their data governance and compliance expectations
• A track record of launching ambitious products that found distribution or commercial success
• Experience designing trusted-access or staged-rollout programs for sensitive capabilities
• A creative hacker spirit and a love of solving hard puzzles

Visa sponsorship:We do sponsor visas! However we arent 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 youre interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones were 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.

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. Were 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.
