Jobbeschreibung

Overview

The way companies innovate is broken. The systems built to create and protect ideas can’t keep up with the pace of change. Today, 90% of S&P 500 company value is intangible (e.g. in intellectual property) - yet R&D and IP teams spend half their time buried in manual work, sifting through patents and paperwork instead of pushing the frontier forward. The tools of creating and protecting are stuck in the past. We’re here to fix that.

Ankar is building the R&D tools for the AI era and defining what applied research will look like in the next 20 years. We’re building infrastructure and product experiences our customers rely on every day. You’ll translate messy, ambiguous problems into clean, dependable software—and you’ll do it at the cutting-edge of AI.

We’re at an inflection point:

• We’ve raised >$24M to date from Tier-1 VCs like Atomico, Index Ventures, Norrsken, Daphni, and angels like the Founder of Hugging Face, CEO from Datadog, and Leaders from DeepMind and OpenAI.

• We’re already working with the world’s most innovative companies including Fortune 500 company L’Oréal and global law firm Vorys

• Expanding our world-class team with alumni from Palantir, Amazon, and BCG to tackle the $1T+ innovation market. We’re just getting started.

What you'll be doing

Shape how the world understands our product. Become deeply embedded with Product, Engineering, and our customers to translate complex technical work into clear, compelling narratives that drive adoption, engagement, and commercial impact.

• Turn product innovation into customer value. Develop clear messaging, positioning, and storytelling that explains not just what we build, but why it matters and the problems it solves.

• Own product launches end-to-end. Lead the launch strategy for meaningful product releases, from positioning and messaging through internal enablement, customer communication, and external promotion.

• Drive customer adoption and education. Create product communications, release content, in-product announcements, and educational resources that help customers continuously discover and use new capabilities.

• Bridge Product, Sales, and Customers. Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Customer Success to ensure product developments are communicated clearly, consistently, and effectively across every customer touchpoint.

• Build systems that scale. Establish repeatable processes for product launches, customer communication, sales enablement, and feedback loops as Ankar's product and customer base continue to grow.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in Product Marketing, Product Management, Technical Marketing, or a similar customer-facing product role within B2B SaaS or technology companies.

• Experience owning product launches from positioning and messaging through customer communication, sales enablement, and post-launch adoption to develop compelling product narratives.

• Exceptional written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, engaging content for both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience working in fast-moving startups or high-ownership environments, with a bias toward action and measurable outcomes.

Culture at Ankar:

Culture at Ankar is how we think, build, and operate. We’re building a generational company that redefines how the world’s best R&D teams create and protect ideas.

• Contrarian - we think from first principles: We think deeply, question assumptions, and build from first principles. The best ideas come from clarity and rigour.

• Creative - we build with taste: We’re building the R&D tools for the AI era and shaping what applied research looks like over the next 20 years. We care about precision, quality, and systems that last.

• Competitive - we play to win: We move with urgency and set a very high bar for ourselves and each other. Every win raises the bar. Every challenge sharpens us.

This role is not for you if...

• You need a highly structured environment, a predefined playbook, regular working hours, or a schedule that never requires travel. We operate with high autonomy and ownership, expect our team to go above and beyond, be obsessed with our mission and thrive in ambiguity rather than wait for direction.

• You prefer long planning cycles and certainty before acting. We move quickly, ship often, and adapt based on customer feedback and new information.

• You want to manage the work rather than do the work. We're builders first, and everyone is expected to contribute directly to creating exceptional products.

• You take it personally when ideas are challenged, priorities shift, or work gets redirected. We care more about finding the right answer than defending a particular one.

What we put behind our people

Building at the frontier takes exceptional people. We invest accordingly.

• Health Insurance : Full private health & dental coverage for you and your dependents.

• Pension: Flexible pension scheme with up to 5% employer matching on qualifying earnings.

• Food on us: Team lunches twice a week, plus dinner when working late in the office.

• Cycle to work: Green Commute initiative scheme (up to £3k) to help you get a new bike tax-free.

• Way we work: We combine deep, in-person collaboration (3 days/week in our Shoreditch office) with flexibility and trust. What matters is ownership, impact, and results, not where you work from.

• Visa sponsorship: Yes
