• 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. Product Partnerships, Life Sciences & Healthcare

Life sciences and healthcare are among the most consequential domains for AI. The organizations in this space have complex workflows, rigorous compliance requirements, and stakeholders who can tell immediately whether you understand their world or not.

We're looking for a Product Partner who has lived inside Life Sciences & Healthcare industry to own Anthropic's partnership strategy across pharma, biotech, health systems, life science tools, and academic medical centers — identifying the highest-impact organizations to work with, structuring collaborations that make sense for both sides, and serving as our internal expert on the sector.

This is not a Sales role. This role requires real domain understanding as you’ll be shoulder-to-shoulder with scientists and experts in the field to help determine commercial partnerships and playbooks. You'll build partnerships with R&D leadership, scientists, and clinical stakeholders — conversations where credibility is earned through substance. We’re looking for someone with subject-matter expertise to be able to engage deeply with the people who do this work for a living.

• Research and build critical strategic partnerships. Research, source, structure, and close strategic collaborations across the life sciences and healthcare ecosystem — working closely with internal teams to shape what we pursue and why.
• Be the domain expert. Serve as Anthropic's internal voice on life sciences and healthcare — helping research, product, and leadership understand the landscape, evaluate opportunities, and make good calls.
• Prioritize the ecosystem. Map the sector and sequence the highest-impact organizations to engage. Build a pipeline with a clear point of view on where to focus and where to say no.
• Navigate complex organizations. Drive partnerships through R&D, IT, legal, compliance, and procurement — with a realistic view of how these deals actually get done in regulated industries.
• Enable integrations where relevant. Where partnerships include product or platform integrations, work with partner engineering teams and hold the quality bar.
• Coordinate cross-functionally. Work across research, product, engineering, policy, and legal to structure partnerships that are compliant, deliverable, and valuable.
• What we're looking for
• Non-negotiable:

5-7+ Years of experience in Product or Consumer Partnerships, Business Development, or Alliance Management in life sciences or healthcare specifically, with a track record of landing complex, multi-stakeholder deals (working across R&D, IT, legal, compliance, procurement).

Meaningful experience with the life sciences or healthcare industry — pharma, biotech, health systems, life science tools, CROs, or clinical research. This is the single most important requirement. We need someone who can operate independently in this space from day one, not learn the industry on the job.

• Scientific literacy. Enough depth to engage credibly with R&D leaders and evaluate the substance of a potential collaboration — not just the commercials.
• Fluency in the regulatory and data governance landscape — HIPAA, IRB processes, privacy, and the compliance realities that shape every deal in this sector.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills — comfort working with technical research teams and translating between business and science
• Technical understanding of AI/ML and how it applies to biomedical problems.
• Experience understanding how to create mutually beneficial commercial partnerships.
• Nice to have:
• Experience with developer platforms, API ecosystems, or integration partnerships
• An existing network across pharma, biotech, or health systems
• Advanced degree in a life sciences field
• 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: $205,000 — $240,000 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. 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.
