Job description

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 seeking an experienced enablement professional to build our Sales Leader Enablement program. As a key member of the GTM Productivity team, you will be responsible for designing the onboarding, training, and reinforcement programs that ensure our sales managers ramp quickly, lead their teams effectively, and drive consistent sales process across a rapidly growing global sales organization. You will define what great sales leadership looks like at Anthropic and build the infrastructure to develop it at scale.

You will work at the intersection of sales leadership, product, operations, and our field teams to translate complex AI concepts, sales processes, and systems into clear programs. This is a ground floor opportunity to architect a sales leader enablement function from scratch. The right person will combine deep sales methodology and coaching expertise with credibility in front of executives, program building instincts, and a bias toward measurable outcomes.

Key responsibilities

• Design and build a scalable onboarding and ongoing development program for sales leadership
• Roll out and reinforce a unified sales methodology across the global sales team, securing executive sponsorship and defining what is expected of each leadership level to drive adoption
• Build the reinforcement system that embeds methodology and process into manager coaching cadences, deal reviews, pipeline inspection, and forecasting
• Define and measure leading indicators of manager and team effectiveness
• Partner with Product, Marketing, Operations, and other teams to ensure managers receive timely, well-tailored messaging, content, and training on new releases and evolving use cases
• Serve as a trusted advisor to sales leadership on team productivity, coaching effectiveness, and leadership development
• Leverage Claude and advanced technologies to deliver personalized, just-in-time training and scale the program beyond in-person engagement

Minimum qualifications

• Direct experience rolling out and reinforcing a sales methodology across a distributed sales team, including training managers to coach to it
• Program management experience, including building enablement programs from the ground up in a fast-growing, ambiguous environment
• Strong presentation and facilitation skills, with experience delivering training or coaching in front of both managers and executives

Preferred qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in sales enablement, sales leadership development, sales management, or a related customer-facing role within AI/ML or enterprise technology organizations
• A track record of earning buy-in from senior sales leaders and frontline managers, and driving stakeholder alignment with executive audiences
• Strong analytical skills with a data-driven approach to measuring ramp, productivity, and program effectiveness
• Empathy for sellers and sales leaders, with an understanding of the demands of the role and a partnership-oriented approach to conflict and disagreement
• A proactive, resourceful approach, combining strategic vision with a willingness to build and execute hands‑on
• Prior frontline sales management experience
• Experience at an AI company or high‑growth technology organization that has scaled a sales leadership team
• Experience using or building applications on top of Claude or similar AI tools to automate and personalize training

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

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.

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.

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.

Come work with us!

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco.
