As the 2nd-line leader for the Applied AI Industries team in Southern Europe and the Middle-East at Anthropic, you will drive the adoption of frontier AI in partnership with the rest of the go to market organization. Our Industries customers in France, Iberia and Italy include many of the region's largest enterprises across financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, telecom, retail, energy, and other sectors. You'll leverage your experience building and leading technical sales teams to drive positive AI transformation that addresses our customers' business needs, meets their technical and regulatory requirements, and provides a high degree of reliability and safety.

You will be responsible for leading and growing the solutions architect team that partners with account executives to help companies adopt and deploy Anthropic's products, including Claude Cowork, Claude Code, and the Claude Development Platform (our API). This will include leveraging your technical skills and consultative sales experience to hire great 1st line managers and individual contributors, establish processes to scale your team, and represent Anthropic directly at strategic customer engagements. Your team covers several countries and industries at once, so you will be responsible for thinking strategically about complex industry accounts and for identifying and rolling out solutions that resonate in each market, with its own language, business culture, and regulatory context.

• Hire, manage, and guide a team of 1st line managers who will in turn build teams of pre-sales Applied AI Architects across France, Iberia and Italy.
• Set goals for your team in collaboration with sales leadership and establish baseline expectations for performance across your team.
• Act as a technical and executive sponsor for high-value strategic customers in the region and advise them on their overall AI adoption strategies or use case scoping and pilot execution.
• Partner closely with Southern Europe sales leadership (also covering the Middle-East and Africa) to build strategies for complex industry accounts and identify new ways to drive adoption of Anthropic products within specific verticals or horizontal use cases.
• Help customers navigate local and European regulatory requirements (for example the EU AI Act, GDPR, DORA, and data residency expectations) and adapt how your team engages to the business culture of each market.
• Work with cross-functional teams like product and engineering to ensure Anthropic prioritizes customer feedback or resolves blockers to adoption in the region.
• Travel regularly across Southern Europe to customers or conferences for executive-level sessions, technical workshops, and relationship building.
• Establish a shared vision for creating solutions that enable beneficial and safe AI in technology products.
• Contribute to thought leadership through conference presentations, webinars, and technical content creation.
• Stay current with emerging AI trends and the competitive landscape.

• 7+ years of technical pre-sales management experience, including 2nd-line leadership or above (leading managers).
• Have sold complex technical products to large enterprises in France, Iberia, Italy, the Middle-East and Africa.
• Have worked across multiple industries, such as financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, telecom, retail, and energy.
• Understand the cultural differences between Southern European markets and the regulatory context your customers operate in, and adapt your approach to each.
• Think highly strategically about complex industry accounts, and turn that thinking into plans your team and sales counterparts can execute.
• Have deep technical proficiency with enterprise AI use cases, API integrations, and LLM deployments.
• Thrive in building and rapidly scaling teams and processes within ambiguous and fast-moving environments.
• Have excellent communication, collaboration, and coaching abilities.
• Strong executive presence and ability to foster deep relationships with business and technical leaders at the region's largest companies.
• Have at least a high level familiarity with the architecture and operation of LLMs.
• Have a passion for making powerful technology safe and societally beneficial.
• Stay up-to-date and informed by taking an active interest in emerging research and industry trends within AI.

• Enterprise pre-sales leadership at scale: 5+ years leading solution architect teams through hypergrowth (ideally dozens of people across several countries), with direct experience leading managers and developing talent in complex enterprise software sales environments.
• Multilingual and multicultural range: In addition to English, fluency in one or more of French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese, and experience leading teams distributed across several countries.
• Experience with consumption business models: Ideal candidates have built GTM frameworks anchored on consumption, not just SaaS-based licenses.
• AI Technical Depth + Executive Engagement: Hands-on experience with AI platforms and enterprise integration patterns, combined with proven track record engaging C-level stakeholders in €10M+ technical evaluations and enterprise sales cycles.
• Multi-industry GTM experience in regulated sectors: Demonstrated success adapting technical approaches to different verticals, in particular regulated ones such as banking, insurance, and healthcare, including working with risk, compliance, and works council stakeholders.

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.

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.
