About the role

We believe skill with AI is fundamental to human agency. Education Labs sits inside Product Research, which means we build learning products with a front-row seat to what's coming. We're close to the people shaping Claude's next capabilities, and our job is to make sure the world can actually use them.

Responsibilities

Build at the frontier - Co-develop vision and own strategy and execution for AI-native learning products , the adaptive systems, assessments, and in-product experiences that will define how people learn with and about frontier AI Work closely with research teams to understand emerging capabilities and what they unlock for learners , you're translating research into product, not waiting for a spec Prototype and experiment to validate ideas quickly, using Claude and our internal tools as building blocks Anticipate how capability shifts change the product and build with that trajectory in mind Stay close to learners , run user research, watch real people move from "I don't understand this" to "I could teach this," and let what you observe reshape what we build

Be a thought partner Push the team's thinking on what education should look like as AI capabilities accelerate , help us spot what we're missing, not just execute what we've already decided Bring product rigor to a team that's scaling fast: clear priorities, sharp tradeoffs, honest metrics that connect learning to real behavior change Act as a bridge between research, product, GTM, marketing, comms, and the education team, translating in all directions

See the whole picture Collaboratively define success metrics grounded in demonstrated understanding, skill progression, and lasting agency , not time-on-site or completion counts Keep a hand in the success of adjacent team efforts, helping the overall education portfolio work as a system rather than a collection of projects Partner across Anthropic , product teams, research, GTM, societal impacts, marketing , to keep education woven into how we ship and scale Run the program, not just the product: drive stakeholder alignment across technical and non-technical partners, keep workstreams on track, and own the operational rhythm that turns strategy into shipped work

You may be a good fit if you have

5+ years in product management, with a track record of shipping products from zero to one and seeing them through to real impact Technical fluency , you're comfortable with AI tools, can prototype with Claude, and hold your own in conversations with researchers and engineers Genuine curiosity about frontier AI , you follow what's emerging, you play with new capabilities, and you have opinions about where things are heading Comfort with ambiguity and wide scope , you make good calls with incomplete information and you're not precious about where your job ends A track record as a force multiplier on small teams , you make the people around you more effective, not just your own roadmap Strong written and verbal communication , you can write a crisp spec, present to leadership, and synthesize messy stakeholder input into a clear direction Conviction that education should build agency, not dependency , you want to teach people to think with AI, and you believe that matters

Strong candidates may also have

Experience working closely with research or applied science teams, or a background that makes you fluent in how research becomes product Background in learning products, developer education, or curriculum design Founder experience or time at an early-stage company where scope was wide and you wore many hats Familiarity with how people actually learn , learning science, instructional design, or strong instincts from having taught something yourself Experience building with LLMs as core product infrastructure, not just as a feature

What this role is not

This is a hands-on IC product, project, and program management role. You'll shape strategy, push the team's thinking, and have real influence over what education at Anthropic becomes, and coordinate complex execution across multiple stakeholders and teams , but it doesn't involve people management. If you're looking to immediately lead a team, this isn't the right fit. If you want broad scope and high autonomy as a builder, it might be.
