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

As a Startup Account Executive at Anthropic, you’ll drive adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic deals with some of the fastest growing startups in the world. You’ll leverage your consultative sales expertise to propel revenue growth while becoming a trusted partner to customers, helping them embed and deploy AI while uncovering its full range of capabilities. In collaboration with GTM, product, and marketing teams, you’ll continuously refine our value proposition, sales methodology, and market positioning to ensure differentiated value across the landscape.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for developing new market segments, pinpointing high-potential opportunities, and executing strategies to capture them. By driving deployment of Anthropic's emerging products, you will help enterprises obtain new capabilities while also advancing the ethical development of AI.

Responsibilities :

  • Win new business and drive revenue for Anthropic. Find your way to the right people at prospective customers, educate them about LLMs, and help them succeed with Anthropic. You’ll own the full sales cycle, from first outbound to launch
  • Design and execute innovative sales strategies to meet and exceed revenue quotas. Analyze market landscapes, trends, and dynamics to translate high-level plans into targeted sales activities, partnerships, and campaigns
  • Spearhead market expansion by pinpointing new customer segments and use cases. Collaborate cross-functionally to differentiate our offerings and sustain a competitive edge
  • Inform product roadmaps and features by gathering customer feedback and conveying market needs. Provide insights that strengthen our value proposition and enhance the customer experience
  • Continuously refine the sales methodology by incorporating learnings into playbooks, templates, and best practices. Identify process improvements that optimize sales productivity and consistency

You may be a good fit if you have :

  • 2-3 years of experience prospecting and closing startup leads, driving adoption of emerging technologies with a consultative, solutions-oriented sales approach
  • Familiarity working within complex sales cycles, selling to technical stakeholders, and securing strategic deals by understanding multifaceted technical requirements and crafting tailored solutions
  • Success as a strategic business advisor, deeply understanding the needs of startup founders and creating innovative solutions that align with their vision and help them succeed
  • Exposure to negotiating complex, customized commercial agreements with multiple stakeholders
  • Demonstrated history of exceeding quota by effectively qualifying and advancing opportunities in a fast-paced work environment
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to present confidently and build connections across all customer levels, from ICs to C-level executives
  • A knack for bringing order to chaos and an enthusiastic “roll up your sleeves'' mentality. You are a true team player
  • Analytical approach to understanding customer needs combined with creative follow-up to advance opportunities
  • Passion for emerging technologies like AI, with interest in ensuring they are developed safely and responsibly
  • A strategic, analytical approach to assessing markets combined with creative, tactical execution to capture opportunities
  • A passion for and / or experience with advanced AI systems. You feel strongly about ensuring frontier AI systems are developed safely
  • Deadline to apply : None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

    The expected salary range for this position is :

    Annual Salary :

    $150,000 — $180,000 USD

    Logistics

    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.

    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.
