Job Description

About Anthropic

Anthropics 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

The Global Partner Lead for Accenture will serve as the strategic architect and executive owner of Anthropics most critical systems integrator partnership. This role demands a seasoned enterprise partnership leader who can orchestrate a complex, multi-dimensional global relationship spanning co-selling, channel enablement, solution development, and joint go-to-market execution. The successful candidate will be accountable for transforming Accenture into a billion-dollar Claude revenue engine while ensuring both companies capture unprecedented market value from the agentic AI revolution.

This is a high-stakes, execution-focused role requiring someone who can operate at the C-suite level with Accentures global leadership while simultaneously driving tactical wins in priority markets. You will own the strategic roadmap, investment decisions, and revenue accountability for what will become one of Anthropics most valuable partnerships.

Responsibilities

Strategic Partnership Orchestration

You will own the complete 360-degree relationship with Accenture across all dimensions: sell-to (Accenture as customer), sell-with (joint selling to enterprise accounts), and sell-through (Accenture-led channel sales). This includes defining where Anthropic invests resources with Accenture, which markets and verticals receive focus, and how we architect the partnership for maximum mutual value creation. You will be personally accountable for the partnerships P&L contribution and responsible for establishing the metrics and governance that ensure both companies are winning.

Revenue Generation and Market Leadership

You will lead the pursuit and closure of market-tipping deals that establish Claude as the enterprise standard for agentic AI. This means building executive relationships within Accentures C-suite, identifying and influencing their largest transformation opportunities, and ensuring Claude is positioned as the foundational technology for Accentures agentic enterprise vision. A primary measure of success will be the velocity at which Accenture builds a billion-dollar Claude practice, with clear milestones and accountability mechanisms you establish and drive.

Competitive Positioning and Enablement

You will ensure Accentures 750,000+ professionals understand exactly why Claude wins against competitive AI platforms. This requires developing crisp competitive differentiation messaging, building comprehensive enablement programs across Accentures global workforce, and creating the sales tools and business cases that make Claude the obvious choice. You will own the training curriculum, certification programs, and ongoing enablement that transforms Accenture into Claude advocates who can articulate our advantages to the C-suite.

Solution Development and Innovation

You will partner with Accentures leadership to build declarative, production-grade solutions powered by Claude that define the agentic enterprise. This means collaborating on reference architectures, co-developing industry-specific accelerators, and ensuring Accentures solution portfolio showcases Claudes unique capabilities in reasoning, safety, and enterprise readiness. You will drive the creation of repeatable, scalable offerings that Accenture can take to market globally.

Customer Success and Lifetime Value

Every deal you influence must be architected for customer success and long-term value expansion. You will establish success criteria for joint accounts, ensure proper implementation and adoption support, and create feedback loops that drive continuous improvement. You own the customer experience in Accentureinfluenced deals and are accountable for net revenue retention in the partnerships installed base.

You May Be a Good Fit If You Have

GSI Partnership Expertise

You have 10+ years of direct experience managing strategic partnerships with Accenture or comparable tierone systems integrators (Deloitte, PwC, Capgemini, IBM). You possess existing VP+ level relationships within Accentures global leadership and understand how to navigate their complex organizational matrix. You have previously owned partnerships generating $100M+ in influenced or direct revenue.

Enterprise Sales and Deal Leadership

You have personally led or significantly influenced deals exceeding $10M in contract value and understand the mechanics of complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles. You can engage naturally with C-suite buyers, understand enterprise technology buying patterns, and know how to structure partnerships that accelerate deal velocity and increase win rates. You bring a structured methodology for opportunity identification, pursuit planning, and deal execution in partnership contexts.

Technology Platform Partnerships

You have built partnerships in high-growth technology categories (cloud platforms, enterprise software, AI/ML) where partner enablement, competitive positioning, and technical differentiation were critical success factors. You understand how to translate technical capabilities into business value propositions that resonate with enterprise buyers and partner sales organizations.

Global Operating Model

You have operated successfully in global roles requiring coordination across multiple geographies, cultures, and time zones. You understand how to establish global frameworks while enabling regional execution, and you have experience building virtual teams that span partner and internal resources across continents.

Revenue Accountability and Commercial Acumen

You have carried revenue targets in previous roles and understand P&L management, forecasting, and the financial mechanics of channel partnerships. You are comfortable with ambitious growth targets and know how to build bottoms-up models that connect activity to revenue outcomes.

Strong Candidates May Have

The ideal candidate combines strategic vision with relentless execution discipline. You are equally comfortable presenting Anthropics strategic vision to Accentures Group Chief Executive as you are rolling up your sleeves to rescue a stuck deal in Singapore. You have the gravitas to influence senior executives while maintaining the hunger and urgency of a quota-carrying seller.

You are obsessively competitive and bring deep conviction about how to win in the market. You understand the AI landscape, can articulate Claudes technical and philosophical differentiation, and have the credibility to challenge partners when theyre not positioning us effectively. You are energized by building something new and understand that creating a billion-dollar partnership requires both visionary thinking and daily operational excellence.

You bring intellectual rigor to partnership strategy but move with speed and pragmatism in execution. You create structure where needed but avoid bureaucracy that slows momentum. You are a builder who can establish programs, metrics, and operating cadences from scratch, then iterate based on whats working.

Key Performance Indicators

  • Accenture-influenced and partner-sourced revenue (direct and channel)
  • Time to $1B Accenture Claude practice (with quarterly milestones)
  • Number of market-tipping deals (>$5M ACV) jointly won
  • Accenture enablement metrics (certified professionals, active sellers, solution developers)
  • Joint pipeline coverage and win rates in co-selling motions
  • Customer success metrics in Accenture-influenced accounts (NRR, time-to-value, satisfaction)
  • Strategic investment ROI (where we invest with Accenture vs. outcomes achieved)

Working Relationships

You will report to the Head of Global Technology Partnerships and work in close partnership with Anthropics regional partnership leaders, product teams, sales organization, and technical account management. You will establish executive sponsorship relationships within Anthropics leadership team and maintain direct access to senior stakeholders for strategic escalations and opportunity support.

Externally, you will cultivate and maintain C-suite relationships across Accentures global organization, including their CEO, regional managing directors, growth markets leaders, and practice/industry heads. You will serve as Anthropics primary interface to Accenture and own the partnerships strategic narrative both internally and externally.

Location and Travel

This role can be based in San Francisco, New York, or London, with significant travel expected (40-50%) to engage with Accenture leadership globally and support market-tipping opportunities in priority regions. Face time with partner executives and presence at critical deal moments is essential to success.

The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full-time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
