About the role

Anthropic's GSI team partners with the world's largest Global System Integrators and strategy consultancies to deploy frontier AI into the core of how they deliver client work and run their own businesses. These are complex, partner-led organizations where the first engagement is rarely the full opportunity, and where lasting partnerships are built across practice areas and at the executive level.

As an Enterprise Account Executive on the GSI team, you'll own a named book of accounts and the full revenue outcome for each. You'll develop a point of view on where Claude creates the most value across a firm's practice areas, advisory services, delivery teams, and internal operations, build relationships with the partners and executives who sponsor transformation at that scale, and expand the partnership well beyond the original buyer. These firms are both customer and future channel - your sell-to motion sets up the sell-with later. You'll work closely with Product, Applied AI, GTM, and Partnerships leadership to shape how Anthropic shows up across the GSI landscape, while advancing our mission of developing AI that is safe, beneficial, and deployed responsibly.

This is a role for someone who has owned large, complex partner-led accounts end to end and is comfortable operating independently at the executive level.
Responsibilities

• Own all revenue outcomes for a named book of GSI accounts, driving both new logo acquisition and multi-practice expansion through complex, multi-quarter sales cycles involving partner-led approval, global procurement, and custom commercial terms
• Develop a clear thesis for each priority firm - where Claude creates value across knowledge management, advisory workflows, deliverable generation, and client engagements - and execute a sequenced engagement plan across practices, regions, and stakeholders
• Build and independently advance executive relationships with Managing Partners, Practice Leads, MDs, CIOs, CTOs, and Heads of AI/Digital, anchoring every conversation to their strategic priorities: utilization, leverage, realization, and billable productivity
• Proactively create demand in unengaged practice areas and regions, using early wins as proof points to open new doors across decentralized, partner-led organizations
• Build quantified, firm-specific business cases mapped to the GSI operating model - using their own language and metrics - that shape deals rather than justify them after the fact
• Identify and close lighthouse partnerships that become references across the GSI landscape and set up the future sell-with motion
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Applied AI, Engineering, and Partnerships to inform the roadmap based on GSI buyer needs, and contribute to the playbook, proof points, and commercial structures that become the repeatable GSI motion

You may be a good fit if you have

• 8+ years of enterprise software sales experience with a track record of owning named accounts at large, complex, partner-led organizations (global SIs, strategy consultancies), managing multi-quarter sales cycles through technical evaluations, partner-led approval, and global procurement
• Demonstrated ability to independently build and advance relationships at the Partner, MD, and C-suite level - including practice leadership and innovation/digital executives - and hold credible conversations across both technical and business audience
• Experience building firm-specific business cases grounded in the firm's own operating metrics (utilization, leverage, realization, margin) and defending commercial terms through complex negotiations
• Background selling platform, API, cloud infrastructure, or emerging technology into enterprises evaluating a new category
  Genuine interest in AI and strong alignment with Anthropic's mission of responsible AI development
• A history of growing accounts meaningfully beyond the original engagement by proactively creating demand across new practice areas, regions, and use cases

What will make you stand out

• Direct experience selling into Global SI's or strategy consultancies, and fluency in how partner-led firms operate and measure success
• Experience as an early AE in a vertical or segment, where you helped build the sales motion rather than inherit it
• Background selling developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, or AI/ML tooling into traditional partner-led services firms

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.

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.
