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 Anthropic's Industries team partners with the world's largest enterprises across retail, manufacturing, automotive, consumer goods, hospitality, and commercial real estate to deploy frontier AI into the core of how they operate. These are complex, multi-division organizations where the first engagement is rarely the full opportunity, and where lasting partnerships are built at the executive level. As an Enterprise Account Executive on the Industries 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 customer's business, build relationships with the executives who sponsor transformation at that scale, and expand the partnership well beyond the original buyer. You'll work closely with Product, Applied AI, and GTM leadership to shape how Anthropic shows up in your vertical, 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 accounts end to end and is comfortable operating independently at the executive level.

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.
