About this role
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
As a Strategic Account Executive (Asset & Wealth Management) at Anthropic, you'll join the foundational team introducing our frontier AI platform to the world's leading asset managers, wealth management firms, and institutional investors. You'll drive adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic, enterprise-scale deals across asset management, wealth management, and institutional investment organizations. You'll leverage deep A&WM sales expertise to grow revenue while becoming a trusted advisor to industry stakeholders — helping them embed AI into research, portfolio management, client advisory, and operations workflows, and uncovering its full range of capabilities. Working closely with Product and Marketing, you'll continuously sharpen our value proposition, sales motion, and market positioning for A&WM decision-makers.
The ideal candidate is energized by building a new category in an established, highly regulated industry — identifying high-potential accounts across asset managers, wealth managers, and institutional investors, and running the strategies to win them. By driving deployment of Anthropic's emerging products into A&WM enterprises, you'll help these organizations unlock new capabilities while advancing the responsible development of AI.
