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
As a Mid-Market Account Executive on Anthropic's High Tech team, you'll drive the adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic deals with tech-forward mid-market companies, unlocking new value streams throughout their business. The role sits at the intersection of consultative selling and technical fluency, helping customers empower their workforce, accelerate processes, and build products with Claude.
