About the role
- These capability priorities also feed the AI Research team's core-model training cycle as a structured input, though that cycle itself sits outside this role's direct ownership.
- You'll sit within the Research Product Manager function and work side-by-side with AI Research, joining their sprint planning and standups, to ensure the right capabilities are built and upstream into the Lila foundation model.
- Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact.
Responsibilities
- Lila Sciences is building Scientific Superintelligence™ to solve humankind's greatest challenges.
- Rather than hard-coding expert knowledge into tools, LILA builds systems that can learn for themselves.

- Integrate into AI Research sprint planning and standups to track delivery and unblock cross-team dependencies
- Define and track release/acceptance criteria for new capabilities in partnership with the evals workstream, so shipped work can be validated before it informs fine-tuning or Lila model training
- Experience as a Product Manager on ML/AI products, ideally with exposure to LLM training, fine-tuning, or RL-based capability development
- Strong cross-functional operator, comfortable partnering closely with a research organization (joining sprint planning/standups, not just handing off requirements)
- Track record translating ambiguous or evolving priorities into a clear, sequenced set of deliverables
