By leading the deployment of Anthropic's emerging products, you will help enterprises obtain new capabilities while also advancing the ethical development of AI.
Responsibilities:
- Build and lead a high-performing team of Strategic AEs - coaching, mentoring, and developing reps to consistently exceed revenue targets
- Define and execute sales strategies, including territory planning, pipeline management, and accurate forecasting with strong CRM discipline
- Partner with Applied AI Engineering to ensure your team can lead credible technical conversations and deliver optimized solutions pre- and post-sale
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Enablement, Product, and GTM leadership to accelerate AE ramp, refine sales playbooks, and inform product direction through customer feedback
- Identify and pursue new market opportunities and use cases for Anthropic's AI solutions, expanding the team's footprint within the vertical
You may be a good fit if you:
- 15+ years in software/platform sales with 7+ in leadership, including 3+ years leading teams selling into F1000 accounts; experience closing 7-figure deals
- Proven track record building and scaling high-performing AE teams - coaching, developing reps, and establishing sales processes and methodologies in fast-growth environments
- Strong technical acumen with the ability to understand complex AI solutions and enable teams to lead credible technical conversations alongside engineering partners

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary:
$435,000 - $550,000 USD
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

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.

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.

If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.
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. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.

Frame Your Experience Around Enterprise AI Sales
Anthropic's Account Executive roles focus on selling to research institutions, government agencies, and technical enterprises. Position your resume around complex, consultative sales cycles and technical buyers, not transactional or consumer-facing experience.
Clarify Your Visa Type Before Applying
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1 visa, and E-3 visas. If you're Australian, the E-3 is faster and avoids the H-1B lottery entirely. Confirm which category fits your citizenship before your first recruiter conversation so you can answer the sponsorship question directly.
Align Your Outreach to Anthropic's Hiring Cycles
Account Executive roles at Anthropic often open ahead of fiscal quarters when new revenue targets are set. Tracking open roles consistently and applying early in a posting's lifecycle improves your chances before headcount fills.
Prepare for Sponsorship Conversations at the Offer Stage
Once you reach the offer stage, Anthropic's legal or HR team will confirm your visa category and timeline. Have your current I-94 status, any existing work authorization end dates, and your degree credentials ready so the filing process starts without delays.
Search Verified Sponsoring Employers on Migrate Mate
Targeting companies that have actually sponsored visa categories relevant to you saves time. Use Migrate Mate to filter Account Executive openings at employers with a confirmed sponsorship history for your specific visa type.
Understand the H-1B Cap Timing if You Need a New Petition
If you require a new H-1B cap-subject petition, USCIS registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. Plan your job search timeline so an offer and petition can align with that window, since Anthropic cannot file outside it for cap-subject cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for Account Executives?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for Account Executive roles. The company also sponsors H-1B1 visas for Chilean and Singaporean nationals and E-3 visas for Australian citizens. If you need sponsorship, confirm your visa category early in the recruiting process so Anthropic's legal team can assess your timeline before an offer is extended.
How do I apply for Account Executive jobs at Anthropic?
Applications go through Anthropic's careers page. The process typically includes a recruiter screen, a sales skills assessment, and multiple rounds focused on enterprise sales strategy and technical fluency with AI products. You can also find and track Anthropic's Account Executive openings filtered by visa sponsorship on Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles from employers with confirmed sponsorship history.
Which visa types are commonly used for Account Executive roles at Anthropic?
The H-1B is the most widely used work visa for Account Executive roles at Anthropic, though the H-1B1 visa and E-3 are strong alternatives for eligible nationals. Account Executive positions typically qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS standards, given the degree requirements common for enterprise sales roles at AI companies. Your citizenship determines which category is available to you.
What qualifications does Anthropic expect for Account Executive candidates who need visa sponsorship?
Anthropic generally looks for experience selling complex technical products to enterprise or research buyers, with a strong preference for candidates who can engage with technical stakeholders in AI, government, or scientific research contexts. For H-1B eligibility, the role must qualify as a specialty occupation requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field, which most Account Executive positions at AI companies satisfy.
How do I time my job search if I need H-1B sponsorship for an Account Executive role at Anthropic?
If you need a new cap-subject H-1B petition, USCIS opens registration each March for an October 1 start. That means you should be interviewing and moving toward an offer between January and March so Anthropic can submit your registration on time. If you're on OPT or a grace period, confirm your authorization end date with HR early so the petition timeline is clear.
