Our benchmarks don’t just measure the cutting edge of AI, they are actively shaping the frontier.

Our benchmarks and analysis are trusted by hundreds of thousands of users and are the go-to reference for leading AI labs including OpenAI, Google, Meta, NVIDIA and Anthropic, and major publications including the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, the Financial Times and The Economist.

We are a team of 40+, on track to double by end of year, backed by Nat Friedman (GitHub, Meta), Daniel Gross (SSI, Meta), Andrew Ng (Google Brain, , Amazon), Adam D’Angelo (Quora, Poe, OpenAI), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face) and other industry leaders.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring Product Managers focused on AI image and video generation. You’ll work closely with us to develop and enhance our media arenas and leaderboards, contributing to product strategy and execution at the frontier of generative media.

This is a hands-on, technical product role: you’ll drive day-to-day operations for our image and video offerings and be a key contributor to product development, collaborating closely with engineering and analysis colleagues, as well as our founders. You’ll run human preference studies, curate prompt sets and categories, and work with the leading media generation companies to benchmark their latest models.

We are open to a wide range of experience levels for this role and will shape the seat to the person.

What You’ll Do

• Product Development for Media Benchmarking: Contribute to image and video product strategy and help execute the roadmap for our arenas and leaderboards, including video editing, reference-to-image and reference-to-video capabilities

• Curate and Develop Evaluation Frameworks: Build prompt libraries, categories and evaluation techniques that reflect how creators and developers actually use image and video models, today and in the coming years

• Media Operations: Keep coverage up to date by benchmarking new models and providers as they launch, managing generation pipelines and human preference studies

• Quality and Use Case Analysis: Deeply understand how creators and developers push these models, and translate those insights into evaluation frameworks that help users understand capability differences

• Strategic Marketing Support and Community Engagement: Help amplify the impact of our media benchmarks, collaborating with our team to maximize impact of our content across platforms and audiences

• Industry Engagement: Work with leading image and video companies to benchmark their models, understanding their capabilities and helping shape industry standards for how media generation is evaluated

• Become AI-Native: Embrace an AI-native workflow, using cutting-edge AI tools to generate leverage in a fast-changing industry and maintain our competitive edge in AI benchmarking

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 3+ years of professional experience

• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills

• Excitement about AI and eagerness to work at the forefront of technological innovation

• Demonstrated excellence, both academically and professionally

• Real interest in AI image and video generation

Beyond that, this opportunity could potentially suit a wide range of backgrounds. We believe that the following skills and experience would likely be helpful for success in this role. We’re not expecting any single candidate to tick off the entire list, but these are some things that we think would be valuable:

• Experience at an AI image or video generation company (e.g. Midjourney, Runway, Black Forest Labs, Luma, Higgsfield, Ideogram, Krea, Recraft or similar) or a media generation team at a larger lab (e.g. OpenAI, Google), especially in product, operations or research roles

• Experience building products leveraging image or video generation models

• Familiarity with human preference evaluation methodologies or arena-style ranking systems

• Experience in strategy consulting

• Strong writing skills, especially in relation to explaining technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences

• Visual communication skills (e.g. making slides, visualizing data)

• Proficiency in Python and data analysis libraries (e.g. pandas, numpy, matplotlib); experience with AI/ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow)

Why Artificial Analysis?

• Shape how AI gets built: The leading AI labs track our benchmarks and use them to guide their development priorities. Your work will directly influence the direction of AI.

• Become a world expert in AI: You will evaluate every major model, across every major capability, as they are released. Very few roles offer this breadth of exposure to frontier AI.

• Work with the most important players in AI: You’ll manage relationships with teams at the leading AI labs and major enterprises as a trusted, independent voice.

• Join at a defining moment: We’re 40+ people, on track to double by end of year, backed by some of the most connected investors in AI. The people who join now will shape the product, the team, and the strategy as we scale.

• Competitive compensation including equity
