Senior Product Manager, Asta

Required

• You think like a builder and an advocate at the same time. You can sit with a researcher who's pursuing a novel method and hasn't yet found the words to describe what they need, and translate that into engineering requirements that an engineering team can actually build against. You're comfortable operating at the intersection of infrastructure and science: you don't need to be an ML researcher, but you're genuinely curious about how researchers work, what agentic frameworks make possible, and where the current tooling gets in their way. You know how to turn a fuzzy, ambitious mission into a tactical roadmap with sequenced milestones and clear ownership. You hold a high bar for the experiences and tools already in the hands of our users, because internal researchers and the broader community depend on them being fast, reliable, and compliant, even while you're pushing the frontier of what's next.
• At Ai2, our mission is to develop breakthrough AI that solves the world's biggest problems. We believe the insight needed to get there lives at the intersection of deep scientific AI understanding and the application of AI in common-good domains. This role sits on our Strategic Programs team, which also includes Product Management, Design, and Communications. As a team, we help shape Ai2's strategic vision and accelerate execution of its goals. We are a highly collaborative team with a high bar for excellence, who aren't afraid to question how things have been done in the past to propose changes that drive the organization forward. It's a very exciting time to be part of this team as Ai2 plays a unique role in shaping how AI changes the world.
• Your Next Challenge:
• Bachelor's degree and 5-8+ years of product management experience, including shipping developer-facing or research-facing products such as APIs, platforms, or tools built for technical users.
• Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous, research-driven needs into concrete engineering requirements and a sequenced roadmap.
• Experience partnering closely with an engineering team on a technical platform, including day-to-day prioritization and execution, not just quarterly planning.
• Genuine interest in AI research, agentic systems, and their application to scientific discovery, with the ability to learn a technical domain quickly.
• Comfort owning compliance-related product requirements (e.g., data access, deletion, and privacy regulations) and translating them into engineering work.
• Strong written communication — you can write a requirements doc, a roadmap update, and a risk escalation that people actually read and act on.
• Excellent stakeholder management across research and engineering, including with senior leaders, and comfort navigating disagreement to a decision.
• Comfort operating with ambiguity and building product processes where none exist yet, while knowing which processes are worth the overhead.
