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.
As Partner Account Manager you will help manage and execute the partnerships that accelerate Claude adoption, unlock new capabilities and drive outcomes for our joint customers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You will own a defined set of named partners end to end — a mix of (a) in-country DACH practices of our global system integrators (e.g. Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini, PwC, BCG), where you work hand in hand with the GSI alliance owners who hold the global relationships, and (b) regional system integrators, consultancies and AI-native boutiques that DACH enterprises and the Mittelstand actually buy from. The DACH partner book is split between you and the Head of Partnerships DACH and CEE; for every partner assigned to you, you own the plan, the enablement path, the co-sell motion with our DACH sales team and the partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline that results from it. This is a builder role: partner-sourced pipeline in DACH is still a small fraction of our open pipeline, and there is a first playbook but no established machine. We need someone who has taken partnerships from zero to a repeatable revenue engine in this market before, not someone who has inherited and administered an existing partner book.
Key responsibilities
Partner development and execution
-
Run each partner as a structured pursuit: stakeholder map (country lead, AI/data practice lead, alliance lead, key account partners), joint account plan, agreed target accounts and a quarterly cadence.
-
For your assigned GSI country practices: activate the DACH teams against the global frameworks and translate them into concrete joint accounts. For your assigned regional SIs / boutiques: build the relationship from scratch (selection, onboarding into the Claude Partner Network, enablement, first joint deals).
-
Guide partners in building repeatable Claude offerings (agentic engineering rollouts, agentic use cases, enterprise adoption programs) for the priority DACH industries: automotive and manufacturing, financial services and insurance, public sector, telco, pharma and chemicals.
-
Drive co-selling with the DACH AEs, Applied AI and Technical Success teams: introduce partners into the right accounts, bring partner-sourced opportunities to sales, and make sure every partner-attached deal is tagged correctly in Salesforce.
Performance and KPI ownership
