Anthropic · San Francisco, CA | New York City, NY
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's services partner ecosystem is a critical channel for bringing Claude to enterprise customers worldwide. This ecosystem spans the full spectrum of services firms — from global system integrators and the world's largest consultancies, to specialist and regional SIs, to our growing cohort of AI-native boutique partners. Together, their reach, vertical depth, and delivery capacity are essential to scaling Claude's enterprise footprint. Managing this breadth well requires rigor, repeatability, and a team that can drive meaningful joint outcomes across a portfolio of partners that differ widely in scale, operating model, and maturity.
We're looking for a Head of Partner Management & Ecosystem BD to lead the team of Partner Account Managers responsible for the full range of our services partnerships and to develop and execute commercial strategies for the ecosystem in partnership with Sales. You'll coach and develop a team of PAMs, shape the operating model for how we engage each segment of the ecosystem, and build the programs, playbooks, and measurement systems that let us scale with quality. You'll work closely with partnerships leadership, sales, product, and customer success to ensure our partners are equipped to win and deliver transformative AI solutions for their clients.
The commercial side of this role is as important as the team-leadership side. Working hand in hand with Sales leadership, you'll define where and how partners create revenue for Anthropic — which partners we co-sell with in which accounts and industries, how partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline is built and forecast, and what a joint account plan looks like when both sides own the number. You'll develop new ways of going to market, while also managing the tri-party motion with our cloud service partners and tech company partnerships, so that a services partner, a cloud platform, and Anthropic show up to a customer as one coordinated offer rather than three separate conversations.
This role sits at the intersection of team leadership, partner strategy, and operational execution. You'll stay close enough to the work to engage directly with partner leadership when it matters, while investing most of your time in making your team and the broader ecosystem more effective over time.
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

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.

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.
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.
