Requirements
Requirements
  • Principal or Staff-level product management experience (L6 seniority or above) with a track record of bridging pure research and ambitious product development at an AI lab or applied AI company
  • You are genuinely comfortable in a research environment — you can read evaluations, understand what they mean, ask the right questions, and help researchers see the product implications of their work
  • You've shipped products that originated in research — not just optimized existing products, but taken emergent capabilities and turned them into new product surfaces
  • You can build prototypes yourself — you have the technical depth to work directly with models, write prompts, test hypotheses, and validate ideas before involving a full engineering team
  • You operate with extremely high agency and a strong self-starter mentality — research environments are inherently ambiguous and this role has no existing playbook
  • You have a general manager mindset — you can evaluate research directions not just for technical novelty but for commercial viability and customer impact
  • You bring a mix of large-company and earlier-stage experience — you understand both the pace of a research lab and the urgency of a startup building a commercial business
  • You can influence without authority — researchers don't report to you, but your input on priorities needs to carry weight because it's well-informed and well-reasoned
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own the product strategy for translating Luma's frontier research capabilities into shippable features across Canvas, Agents, and the model platform
  • Work directly within the research team to shape priorities, ensuring model development and evaluation are informed by real enterprise needs in marketing, advertising, and entertainment
  • Establish and operate the feedback loops between research, product, go-to-market, and forward-deployed teams — so that market signals flow into research prioritization and research breakthroughs flow into product planning
  • Interpret evaluation results and research findings to identify which emerging capabilities have the highest product and commercial leverage — and make bets accordingly
  • Build prototypes yourself to validate product ideas before committing engineering resources — using the models directly to test hypotheses about what's possible and what customers will value
  • Define the product implications of research advances in multimodal understanding, generation, tool use, and agent capabilities — translating "the model can now do X" into "customers can now solve Y"
  • Partner with the Agent PM and Enterprise PM to ensure research priorities align with the capabilities that enterprise products and customer deployments actually need
  • Drive the cadence and process for research-to-product handoffs — defining what "ready to ship" means, managing the transition from research prototype to production feature, and owning the quality bar

  • Staff or Principal-level product management experience (L5/L6 seniority or above) with a track record of building enterprise products in high-ambiguity environments
  • You’ve built successful enterprise AI applications — especially agentic products with strong real-world adoption, not just traditional SaaS
  • You possess functional AI/ML fluency — not just academic. You can reason about model capabilities, evals, latency/cost tradeoffs, fine-tuning vs. prompting vs. tool use, and the shape of a frontier roadmap. You are technical enough to prototype a solution on a whiteboard with a customer’s ML team and credible enough that a research lead actually wants you in the room
  • You operate effectively across complex cross-functional environments involving product, engineering, research, go-to-market, and customer-facing teams
  • You have a general manager mindset with P&L visibility and experience — you think in terms of business tradeoffs, commercial viability, and revenue outcomes, not just product metrics
  • You thrive in significant ambiguity with extremely high agency and a strong self-starter mentality — this is the highest-priority trait for this role
  • You bring consultative PM skills and the ability to play an advisory role with enterprise customers, asking clarifying questions about needs and commercial viability rather than immediately saying yes to requests
  • You have a mix of large-company and earlier-stage startup experience, and can work in extremely unstructured environments with limited scaffolding
  • You can partner with and influence research teams in product development environments, helping ensure frontier model capabilities are shaped by market needs

  • Drive cross-functional execution across research, product, engineering, go-to-market, and forward-deployed teams within a pod-based team structure

  • Play a consultative product role that connects customer feedback to product strategy and roadmap decisions, complementing forward-deployed engineers and creatives rather than duplicating their work
  • Bridge market signals back to research and product development teams, establishing feedback loops so that model prioritization and evaluation are informed by real commercial needs
