Job Description
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.
Anthropic's services partner ecosystem is a critical channel for bringing Claude to enterprise customers worldwide. Firms like Persistent, Slalom, Ahead, DXC, and Genpact — represent a fast-growing segment of specialist and regional SIs whose reach, vertical depth, and delivery capacity are essential to scaling Claude's enterprise footprint. Managing this tier well requires rigor, repeatability, and a team that can drive meaningful joint outcomes across a broad portfolio of partners.
We're looking for a Manager of Partner Account Management to lead the team of Partner Account Managers responsible for a cohort of our services partnerships. You'll coach and develop a team of PAMs, shape the operating model for how we engage the tier, 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 this group of partners are equipped to win and deliver transformative AI solutions for their clients.
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 tier more effective over time.
Responsibilities:
Team leadership and development
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of Partner Account Managers covering a group of Anthropic’s services partners
- Set clear expectations, goals, and operating standards; hold the team accountable to partner revenue, pipeline, and program outcomes
- Hire and retain exceptional talent; build a team culture grounded in rigor, partnership, and care for Anthropic's mission
Program and operating model
- Shape the tier's operating model: how PAMs plan with partners, run QBRs, forecast, track partner health, and prioritize their time across a portfolio
- Partner with the broader SI program to adapt tier structure, benefits, and requirements to partner dynamics
- Build and evolve playbooks that help PAMs recruit, onboard, activate, and grow partners consistently
Enablement and partner success
- Work with enablement, product, and solutions teams to ensure partners have the training, certifications, and technical resources they need to build and deliver production-grade Claude solutions
- Identify gaps in partner readiness and drive cross-functional investment to close them
- Ensure consistent quality of partner engagement across the team
Cross-functional leadership and insights
- Collaborate with sales, partner operations, marketing, legal, and finance to remove friction and accelerate joint outcomes
- Surface partner, market, and product insights to inform Anthropic's broader partner strategy and roadmap
- Represent the business in partnership leadership forums
You may be a good fit if you have:
- 10+ years of experience in partner sales, channel sales, alliances, or partner management at a technology company
- 3+ years managing partner-facing teams, including senior individual contributors
- A track record of driving revenue through SI or consulting partner channels, consistently meeting or exceeding targets
- Experience building or scaling partner programs — tier structures, enablement, playbooks, and operating cadences — in a fast-growing environment
- Strong commercial acumen; comfortable coaching your team through complex deals, partner negotiations, and multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles
- Experience managing a portfolio of partners at scale (rather than a small number of top-tier strategic accounts) and a view on how to drive leverage across a wide partner base
- Excellent analytical skills; fluency with partner KPIs, dashboards, and using data to drive team and program decisions
- Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills, from partner practitioners to senior executives, both externally and internally
- Comfort with ambiguity and a track record of creating structure in emerging programs
- Willingness to travel to support partner relationships and joint customer engagements
- Interest in AI and a commitment to Anthropic's mission of building safe, beneficial AI systems
Strong candidates may also have:
- Direct experience working with or at specialist / regional SIs similar to this group of partners (e.g., Persistent, Slalom, Ahead, DXC, Genpact, and comparable firms)
- Experience in AI, cloud platforms, or other high-growth technology categories where partner enablement and technical differentiation are critical
- Experience managing partner teams across multiple geographies and cultures
- A background that spans partner management and adjacent disciplines such as direct enterprise sales, partner sales, or alliances strategy
- Experience standing up or scaling a partner tier or program from early stage to mature operations
- A point of view on how AI is reshaping the SI ecosystem and how Anthropic should engage specialist and regional partners differently from hyperscale GSIs
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
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.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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.
