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

As one of Anthropic's founding Enterprise Account Executive for Digital Native Business (DNB) in India, you'll be a member of our GTM expansion into one of the world's most dynamic and rapidly growing technology markets. You'll drive adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic deals with India's leading digital-native companies—from high-growth startups to established unicorns—unlocking new value streams throughout their businesses.

In this pioneering role, you'll leverage your consultative sales expertise to propel revenue growth while becoming a trusted partner to customers, helping them embed and deploy AI while uncovering its full range of capabilities. You'll have the unique opportunity to shape our India market strategy from the ground up, establishing best practices and go-to-market approaches that will scale as we grow.

In collaboration with GTM, product, and marketing teams across regions, you'll continuously refine our value proposition, sales methodology, and market positioning to ensure differentiated value in the Indian technology landscape.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for developing new market segments, pinpointing high-potential opportunities, and executing strategies to capture them. As a founding team member in India, you'll build the foundation for our long-term success in the region while driving deployment of Anthropic's emerging products to help enterprises obtain new capabilities and advance the ethical development of AI.

Design and execute innovative sales strategies tailored to the India market to meet and exceed revenue quotas. Analyze market landscapes, trends, and dynamics specific to Indian digital-native businesses to translate high-level plans into targeted sales activities, partnerships, and campaigns

Spearhead market expansion by pinpointing new customer segments and use cases within India's thriving startup and scale-up ecosystem. Collaborate cross-functionally to differentiate our offerings and sustain a competitive edge in the region

Establish foundational go-to-market practices as a first mover in the India market, creating playbooks and frameworks that will scale with our growing team

Inform product roadmaps and features by gathering customer feedback and conveying market needs specific to Indian enterprises. Provide insights that strengthen our value proposition and enhance the customer experience in the region

Continuously refine the sales methodology by incorporating learnings into playbooks, templates, and best practices. Identify process improvements that optimize sales productivity and consistency as we build our India presence

Serve as a market expert on India's digital-native business landscape, providing strategic insights to global leadership on regional trends, competitive dynamics, and growth opportunities

10+ years of enterprise sales experience driving adoption of emerging technologies with digital-native businesses in India, with a consultative, solutions-oriented sales approach

Deep understanding of India's startup and scale-up ecosystem, including familiarity with leading digital-native companies across sectors such as fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, edtech, and more

A track record of managing complex sales cycles and securing strategic deals by understanding multifaceted technical requirements and crafting tailored solutions

Demonstrated ability to navigate dynamic stakeholder ecosystems, building consensus and providing innovative solutions to disparate groups across technical and business functions

Extensive experience negotiating highly complex, customized commercial agreements with multiple stakeholders in the Indian market context

Proven experience exceeding revenue targets in fast-paced organizations by effectively managing an evolving pipeline and sales process

Excellent communication skills and the ability to present confidently and build connections across all customer levels, from ICs to C-level executives, with cultural fluency in Indian business contexts

Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with ambiguity as a founding team member—you thrive in early-stage environments where you're building processes and strategies from scratch

A knack for bringing order to chaos and an enthusiastic "roll up your sleeves" mentality. You are a true team player who embraces the opportunity to shape our India market entry

A strategic, analytical approach to assessing markets combined with creative, tactical execution to capture opportunities

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

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.

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.
