Product Manager, Core Product (Claude.ai)

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 Product Manager for Core Product at Claude.ai, you will shape the evolution of Claude from an AI assistant to a true collaborative partner for users. You'll own the core interaction model and fundamental capabilities that define how users work with Claude, pushing the boundaries of human-AI collaboration while maintaining an intuitive, trustworthy experience. Working at the intersection of frontier AI capabilities and user needs, you'll transform Claude into an indispensable thought partner that amplifies human potential across a wide range of cognitive tasks.

Responsibilities:

Product Strategy & Vision

• Define the strategy and vision for Claude's core interaction model, balancing powerful capabilities with intuitive usability
• Develop frameworks for identifying and prioritizing new collaboration patterns that meaningfully enhance how users work with Claude
• Create roadmaps that systematically evolve Claude's ability to engage in complex, multi-turn collaborations

Product Development

• Partner with research and engineering to transform novel AI capabilities into intuitive collaborative features
• Design and validate new interaction patterns that make Claude more effective as a thought partner
• Build and optimize core workflows that enable deeper, more meaningful collaboration between users and Claude
• Develop sophisticated quality frameworks to ensure Claude consistently delivers high-value collaborative experiences

Cross-functional Leadership

• Work closely with design to create intuitive interfaces for complex collaborative interactions
• Partner with research to identify opportunities to enhance Claude's collaborative capabilities
• Collaborate with user research to deeply understand how users want to work with AI
• Coordinate with platform teams to ensure core features can scale across different surfaces

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 8+ years of product management experience, with track record of shipping complex user-facing products
• Strong understanding of human-computer interaction and collaboration patterns
• Outstanding communication skills and ability to align diverse stakeholders

Strong candidates may have:

• Experience building AI/ML products or other emerging technologies
• Background in tools for knowledge work or creative collaboration
• Understanding of large language model capabilities and limitations
• Track record of 0-to-1 product development

The expected salary range for this position is:

Annual Salary:$305,000—$385,000 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.
