Partner Account Manager - Italy

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

This is a critical leadership role responsible for building and scaling Anthropic's consulting, GSIs and AI-native boutique partners across Italy. You will own the strategic roadmap, investment prioritization, development plans, and revenue accountability for a portfolio of partnerships that will collectively become critical drivers of Anthropic's enterprise growth. This is a builder role, not a manager role. Given Anthropic's stage, we need someone who has proven they can take partnerships from zero to scaled revenue engines — someone who has built these relationships from the ground up, not just inherited and managed existing ones.
