Job Summary

Bridge research and product for multimodal AI at Luma. Shape priorities with researchers, validate ideas via prototypes, and translate novel capabilities into customer-facing features across Canvas, Agents, and the model platform. Partner with research and enterprise teams to ensure research advances have clear commercial impact and ship with high quality.

Location: Redwood City

Workplace: Hybrid

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Product Management

Seniority: Director level

Key Responsibilities

•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.

Key Requirements

•Principal or Staff-level product management experience bridging pure research and ambitious product development at an AI lab or applied AI company.
•Comfortable operating in a research environment: reading evaluations, understanding results, asking the right questions, and translating findings into product implications.
•A track record of shipping products that originated in research, not just optimizing existing ones.
•Ability to build prototypes and test hypotheses directly with models, before involving a full engineering team.
•Strong general manager mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and balance technical novelty with commercial viability.
