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 is building a global reseller program so that enterprises can buy Claude through the partners they already work with. As Reseller Partner Manager for our largest global systems integrators, you will own Anthropic's resell relationships for these strategic partners that operate in every region we sell in. Each of these partners is organized by region and by practice, and led by a global alliance team. Your job is to turn each of those relationships into a working reseller motion: agreements signed, teams enabled, deals registered cleanly, and resale consumption growing against the target for this cohort.

You will be the single owner of each partner relationship on the Anthropic side. The partner's global alliance leadership will look to you for the joint plan, the commercial construct, and the escalation path. Their in-country practices will look to you, working with our country account teams, for how a deal gets registered, priced, transacted and supported. Our internal teams will look to you for what the partner is doing in the market, where partner sourced pipeline is building, and where direct and partner motions are colliding. Managing potental direct versus partner conflict at scale, across many regions and account teams at once, is a core part of the job.

You will therefore work closely with the partner's own hyperscaler alliance teams and with our counterparts at AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure to sequence agreements, enablement and first transactions region by region. Much of the process for running a global reseller relationship does not exist at Anthropic yet. Building it, and representing what these partners need to the central program team, will be a large part of your first year.

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.
