About the role

As a Strategic Account Executive (Investment Banking & Capital Markets) at Anthropic, you'll join the foundational team introducing our frontier AI platform to the world's leading investment banks and capital markets firms. You'll drive adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic, enterprise-scale deals across investment banking, sales & trading, and capital markets organizations.

• Own a book of strategic, high-value accounts across investment banking, sales & trading, and capital markets organizations, carrying and exceeding an individual revenue target
• Engage personally with C-level and senior technical stakeholders (CIOs, CTOs, Heads of Research, Heads of Data/AI) — building business cases and value narratives, and navigating complex procurement, security, regulatory, and legal review through to production deployment and expansion
• Identify and prioritize high-potential opportunities within your accounts, building and executing account plans that turn strategic relationships into committed revenue
• Partner closely with Applied AI, Solutions Architecture, and Product to design solutions, prove value quickly, and translate IB&CM-specific needs — research, deal execution, trading, risk — into product and roadmap input
• Orchestrate cross-functional and partner motions with Customer Success, Legal, Partnerships, and cloud partners to deliver a seamless customer experience, and represent Anthropic as a visible, trusted voice with customers and at industry events

Requirements

• 5+ years of enterprise sales experience in investment banking or capital markets, with demonstrated success covering sell-side or markets organizations
• A track record of carrying and exceeding quota in enterprise sales of technical, complex products (API-first platforms, cloud infrastructure, data/ML platforms, or enterprise SaaS)
• Experience winning and growing strategic enterprise accounts, including building C-suite relationships, within investment banking and capital markets
• Operational rigor across complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles — balancing velocity with deal quality and forecasting accurately in fast-changing environments
• Credibility with technical buyers and builders — CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, Heads of AI/ML — and experience pairing effectively with solutions architects and applied AI teams
• A genuine interest in deploying AI responsibly and motivation to advance Anthropic's mission of building safe, beneficial AI

Qualifications

• Experience bringing generative AI or LLM-based products, or other emerging platform technologies, to large investment banks or capital markets firms
• Deep familiarity with regulated-industry selling — data governance, regulatory and compliance-driven procurement, security review, and the governance expectations of sell-side organizations
• Experience selling with and through cloud and ecosystem partners such as AWS, Google Cloud, and global systems integrators
• Familiarity with consumption- or usage-based commercial models and value-based pricing conversations
• Experience navigating long, multi-stakeholder enterprise cycles typical of IB&CM procurement

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.

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.

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.
