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.
Anthropic is seeking a high-ownership, hands-on operator to drive our strategic growth with Microsoft Azure. You'll play a critical role in managing this key relationship, generate large-scale revenue opportunities, and work with leadership across both organizations to accelerate Anthropic's AI adoption through Azure's global enterprise ecosystem.
In this role, you'll help shape how frontier AI technology is commercialized at scale and develop the blueprint for successful AI-cloud provider partnerships. You'll focus on Microsoft's largest and most complex customers — the global enterprises navigating AI transformation with Claude in the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.
Develop and execute comprehensive GTM strategies for our Microsoft partnership across Strategic and Major accounts, including co-selling motions, enablement programs, and joint business plans
Build pipeline, develop forecasting models, and drive revenue targets for the partnership

7+ years of experience in go-to-market roles at technology companies, with demonstrated ability to navigate complex enterprise organizations and work across many cross-functional teams
Deep understanding of enterprise cloud services and AI/ML market dynamics
Technical background or acumen -- you can credibly discuss Claude's capabilities with solutions architects and hold your own in technical conversations
Strong business acumen -- you can also easily surface core strategic considerations with very senior stakeholders across Anthropic, Microsoft, and customer executives
Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills -- you're a gifted storyteller who can translate complex AI capabilities into business value
Excellence in program management and operations -- you build systems, not just run plays
Comfort with ambiguity -- you define your own objectives, create measurements, and execute independently
Ability to balance 80:20 prioritization while still sweating the details where they matter
Experience working with or within large cloud providers or their partner ecosystems
Direct experience scaling GTM teams at fast-growing organizations
Experience working in a directly client-facing role, such as customer success or consulting
Varied, non-linear career path -- we value scrappy backgrounds and diverse experiences

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.

We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

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.
Come work with us!Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
