Sales Strategy, Operational Excellence

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.

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.

• Experience in sales operations, sales strategy, revenue operations, business operations, or a similar function, with direct experience supporting the operating cadence of a sales organization
• Have run or materially supported core GTM planning processes end to end: annual planning, target setting, quota allocation, territory design, or comp plan rollout
• Are an exceptional program manager; you can take a loosely defined cross-functional effort, put a plan around it, and drive it to a deadline across teams you don't control
• Understand the rhythm of a sales org from the inside: what a forecast call is for, what "commit" means, why pipeline coverage matters, and what makes a quota feel fair or unfair to a rep
• Are highly structured and detail-oriented without being rigid; you build the standard, but you know when the standard needs to bend
• Communicate clearly and concisely up, down, and across; you can write the one-page pre-read that lets a leadership meeting start at the decision instead of the context
• Are fluent in Excel/Sheets (modeling, lookups, structured data) and comfortable working in Salesforce; SQL or Looker experience is a plus but not required
• Are energized by bringing order to ambiguity and have a low ego about doing the unglamorous work that makes an organization run
• Experience with sales compensation design (SPIFs, accelerators, plan mechanics) and the downstream operational realities of administering them
• Exposure to consumption-based or usage-based revenue models where forecasting and quota design don't follow the standard SaaS pattern
• Familiarity with planning and territory tools (Anaplan, Pigment, Fullcast, or similar)
• A track record of using AI tools to accelerate operational and program management work
