About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

Anthropic is seeking a Global Technology Partner Lead to own and scale our strategic partnerships with leading technology platforms. In this role, you will be the architect of multi-dimensional relationships spanning product integration, co-selling, channel enablement, and joint go-to-market execution. You will be accountable for transforming these partnerships into major revenue drivers while ensuring the partners capture significant value from the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

This is a high-impact role requiring someone who can operate at the executive level with partner leadership while simultaneously driving tactical wins across priority accounts. You will own the strategic roadmap, investment decisions, and partnership-influenced revenue accountability for what will become some of Anthropic's most important technology partnerships.

Serve as the strategic owner of Global Technology Partner relationships, driving sell-with (joint selling to enterprise accounts) and sell-through (partner-led channel sales) motions, while partnering closely with Anthropic's sales team on sell-to opportunities where these partners are customers
Define partnership investment strategy, market and vertical prioritization, and overall architecture for mutual value creation
Support Anthropic's sales team in pursuit of significant deals with technology partners, providing partnership context, executive relationships, and strategic alignment to accelerate deal closure
Build and maintain executive relationships within partner's leadership team, identifying and influencing their largest transformation opportunities
Drive product integration roadmaps in collaboration with Anthropic's product and engineering teams, ensuring Claude is deeply embedded in partner platforms
Develop competitive differentiation messaging and comprehensive enablement programs across partner sales and technical teams

Have built partnerships in high-growth technology categories where partner enablement, competitive positioning, and technical differentiation were critical
Have operated successfully in roles requiring coordination across multiple internal teams and external stakeholder groups
Understand P&L dynamics, forecasting, and channel partnership economics, with experience influencing revenue through partnership motions
Combine strategic vision with execution discipline—equally comfortable presenting to executives and working directly on deal strategy

Strong candidates may also

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
