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
Global Technology Partnerships manages Anthropic's go-to-market partnerships with our largest and most strategic technology partners. The team's job is to build joint businesses with a focused set of these partners that drive Claude consumption through product integrations and joint go-to-market.
As a Technology Partnerships Lead, you will own the joint go-to-market for a handful of these partners and help build the framework and capability to scale the Technology Partnerships function more broadly. You are like the CEO of a joint business with each partner: agree on the "better together" story and the use cases and industries we will take to market together, write and run the joint business plan, enable the partner's sellers and customer success teams to sell Claude-powered products, run co-marketing and joint customer moments, and drive consumption of Claude through the partner's distribution. This is a build role in a new function which requires a strategic and entrepreneurial business owner, not just a relationship manager. You will help define the partner scorecard, the joint business planning cadence, and the internal operating model with the account team, Applied AI, Partner Marketing, and Partner Enablement.
Key responsibilities
-
Own the joint go-to-market relationship with a portfolio of named technology partners, and be accountable for the partner scorecard.
-
Use learnings to build the Technology Partnerships function as a strategic consumption driver for Anthropic, including through team development, operating model, goals and overall strategy.
-
Define the "better together" story for each partner with the partner and our account team, including which products, use cases, and industries we will go to market on together.
-
Write the annual joint business plan with each partner, with named owners on both sides, activation and consumption targets, and an enablement and marketing plan.
-
Coordinate enablement of partner field organizations to position and sell Claude-powered products, working with Partner Enablement on content, certifications, and programs. Build industry and use-case go-to-market motions with the partner. Coordinate co-marketing and events.
-
Drive co-sell on the largest joint opportunities with the partner's field and our account teams.
-
Manage partner health, including relationship mapping across the partner's product, field, and marketing organizations, and surface friction (including where our products and the partner's overlap) early and constructively.
-
Represent the partner internally: bring partner and end-customer feedback to Product and Applied AI, and prioritize the enablement, marketing, and technical support each partner needs.
Minimum qualifications
-
Have run a technology partnership or channel relationship end to end, including owning a joint business plan and being measured on partner-sourced or partner-influenced revenue or consumption
-
Have built and delivered field enablement for a partner's or your own sales organization, and can show what changed in the field as a result
-
Have planned and executed co-marketing programs with a partner, such as joint launches, case studies, or events
-
Understand how enterprise software and AI platforms are sold and consumed well enough to design a joint solution story with a partner's product and field leaders, and to explain how Claude is embedded in and consumed through a partner's product
-
Can operate inside a matrixed account team, working through account executives, Applied AI, and marketing without owning any of them, and are clear about where your role starts and stops
-
Care about the safe and beneficial development of AI, and want the partnerships you run to reflect that
Preferred qualifications
-
Fluency in AI and software products and comfort engaging with product and technical teams to support joint roadmap delivery and innovation.
-
Experience managing partnerships with one or more of the enterprise SaaS, data platform, or cybersecurity companies this function will focus on, or experience working inside one of those partner organizations in an alliances, partner, or field role
-
Experience standing up a partner program or partner function from scratch, including scorecards, tiering, and operating cadence
-
Experience building industry-specific or use-case-specific go-to-market plays with a partner and taking them to production at joint customers
-
Experience with partner marketing mechanics such as market development funds and joint launch planning
-
Roughly 8 or more years in technology partnerships, alliances, or channel roles

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.
