Product Operations Manager, Launch Readiness

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 - Launch Readiness to own and continuously improve how Anthropic launches products. This is a product-wide, horizontal role that will establish the operating system for all customer-facing launches across our portfolio.

Launching at Anthropic is uniquely dynamic. We're building on frontier models that evolve constantly, serving customers from individual developers to the largest enterprises, across multiple surfaces (API, claude.ai, Claude Code). This role will coordinate launches across Product teams and critical partners including Security, Legal, GTM, Finance, DevRel, and Safety. You'll establish common language, document repeatable launch motions, and build an AI-native toolkit that makes excellent launches feel effortless.

You treat launch readiness as a product. You're obsessed with making the "happy path" so helpful that teams obviously want to follow it. You build systems that accelerate product velocity, not gate it. You think like a product manager, not a compliance officer. Your work will directly impact every customer-facing launch at Anthropic, making them faster, safer, and more coordinated.

Responsibilities :

You'll own the operating system for customer-facing product launches at Anthropic. Working horizontally across Product teams and critical partnersincluding Security, Legal, GTM, Finance, DevRel, and Safetyyou'll establish frameworks, toolkits, and processes that enable teams to ship with confidence. You'll drive adoption through influence, making launch readiness effortless and creating visibility across all launches.

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 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.
