Research Product Marketing Lead

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 the Research Product Marketing Lead at Anthropic, you will be the critical bridge between our research innovations and market impact. Working directly with our Research Product Management team and reporting to the Head of Product Marketing, you'll define and execute the go-to-market strategy for our frontier AI models. This role requires a rare combination of technical depth, strategic vision, and exceptional communication skills to translate complex AI breakthroughs into compelling narratives that drive adoption and shape the industry conversation.

You'll work closely with our executive, product, and research teams to position Anthropic's models at the forefront of AI advancement, building global awareness and market share for our most innovative capabilities. This is an intense, high-impact role that demands independent judgment, creative problem-solving, and the ability to navigate ambiguity at the intersection of cutting-edge research and market demands.

Responsibilities:

• Define and execute comprehensive product marketing strategies for Anthropic's research innovations and frontier models, directly impacting revenue growth and market position
• Partner with Research Product Management to translate complex technical breakthroughs into compelling value propositions that resonate with developers, enterprises, and the broader AI ecosystem
• Build and lead a high-performing research product marketing team that operates with exceptional speed and autonomy
• Work directly with executives and research leadership to craft Anthropic's narrative on AI safety, capabilities, and industry leadership
• Create definitive content that establishes Anthropic as the thought leader in AI advancement—from technical documentation to executive keynotes
• Drive significant business impact through strategic launches that transform research breakthroughs into market-defining products
• Develop frameworks and playbooks for marketing net-new AI capabilities with no existing market category
• Act as the primary storyteller who can articulate complex AI concepts to diverse audience—from developers to C-suite executives to policymakers
• Forge relationships with key industry influencers and technical decision-makers to amplify Anthropic's market presence
• Navigate highly ambiguous challenges that arise from being at the frontier of AI technology

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 15+ years of experience in product marketing, with at least 4+ years in a leadership role managing high-performing teams
• Have proven experience as an early marketer who helped build at least 1-2 major technology companies from early stages to market leadership
• Demonstrate exceptional writing and communication skills—you're known as a "model thinker" who creates frameworks that others adopt
• Have deep experience marketing developer-focused products, including complex technical platforms or infrastructure
• Excel at working directly with C-level executives and can translate between technical and business stakeholders seamlessly
• Thrive in high-pressure, ambiguous environments requiring independent judgment and creative problem-solving
• Show a track record of driving measurable business impact through strategic marketing initiatives
• Possess the technical acumen to understand AI/ML concepts and translate them into compelling market narratives
• Are comfortable being a direct, critical link between research innovation and revenue generation
• Have experience building and scaling teams in fast-paced, high-growth environments

Strong candidates may also:

• Possess a technical background (CS degree, engineering experience) combined with marketing expertise
• Have experience positioning and launching products that created entirely new market categories
• Show expertise in both developer marketing and enterprise go-to-market strategies
• Have worked in AI/ML companies or marketed AI products to technical audiences
• Demonstrate thought leadership through published work, speaking engagements, or industry recognition
• Show success in high-visibility, executive-facing roles where independent judgment was critical

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:$355,000—$355,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

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.

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.
