Product Marketing Manager, Special Projects

Description

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

We're looking for a senior Product Marketing Manager to lead go-to-market for Anthropic's highest-priority special projects — the cross-cutting launches, new capabilities, and time-sensitive initiatives that don't map neatly to a single product line but matter enormously to how the market understands Claude and Anthropic.

You'll own positioning, messaging, and narrative development for these projects end to end, and you'll also own the program: pulling together product, research, comms, sales, and marketing stakeholders, building the plan, and driving it to launch. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who operates with a high degree of autonomy. You'll frequently be handed an ambiguous, technically complex problem — sometimes deep in areas like safety and cyber — with a tight timeline and no existing playbook, and be expected to shape the story, build the plan, and ship. If you're a product marketer who is equally strong at crafting the narrative and running the launch, and you want to work on the projects that define the frontier of AI, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

• Own go-to-market strategy for a rotating portfolio of special projects, from positioning and messaging through launch execution and enablement
• Develop crisp, differentiated narratives for net-new capabilities and initiatives, often where no established market category or language yet exists
• Translate complex technical subject matter — including safety and safeguards work — into clear, credible messaging for developers, enterprise buyers, and the broader ecosystem
• Act as the program lead for each project: define the launch plan, timeline, and workstreams; align cross-functional stakeholders; and drive execution across product, research, comms, demand generation, and sales
• Create the core launch assets and source-of-truth materials — messaging frameworks, narratives, FAQs, enablement content — that other teams build from
• Partner with Product and Research leads to shape how projects are framed and sequenced for the market, feeding back market and competitive insight
• Build repeatable frameworks and playbooks so that special projects become faster and more consistent to bring to market over time
• Operate as a trusted, independent owner: surface risks early, make judgment calls in ambiguity, and keep leadership informed without needing close direction
• Minimum Requirements
• B2B product marketing background; an exceptional writer and messaging craftsperson — positioning, narrative, and copy are your strengths, not just strategy decks
• Strong program management instincts and have personally run complex, multi-stakeholder launches end to end
• Can get comfortable with technical subject matter quickly and communicate it accurately to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Work autonomously — you're energized by being handed an ambiguous problem and trusted to figure out the path
• Skilled cross-functional collaborator who can align product, research, comms, and sales partners without formal authority
• Thrive in fast-moving, high-pressure environments where priorities shift and the playbook hasn't been written yet
• Preferred Requirements
• 10+ years of product marketing experience in B2B or enterprise software, with a track record as a senior individual contributor
• Experience marketing AI/ML products, developer platforms, or infrastructure — a developer-platform background is valuable but not required
• Experience marketing in areas with significant trust, safety, security, or regulatory dimensions
• A track record of launching products or capabilities that created a new market category
• Prior experience in a special projects, launch lead, or "fixer" style role that spanned multiple product lines
• Experience at a high-growth technology company during a category-defining period
• Role-specific policy: For this role, we expect all staff to be able to work from our San Francisco office at least 2 days a week, though we encourage you to apply even if you might need some flexibility for an interim period of time for relocation.
• The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
• For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
• Annual Salary:
• $320,000 - $320,000 USD
• Logistics
• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
• 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.
• Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
• 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.
• Come work with us!
• Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
