About the partnerships architect role
- Act as a technical thought partner to Anthropic’s go-to-market partnerships team: map the partner landscape, drive strategic programmes and spot opportunities
- Work with partners to identify high-value, industry-specific generative AI applications, build joint solutions and codify reference architectures and best practice

- A record of working with GSIs and/or cloud providers on complex technical problems, from solution design to customer delivery
- The ability to build relationships and explain technical ideas to C-suite executives, engineers and IT teams
- Strong presentation skills, and experience designing scalable cloud architectures and integrating with enterprise systems
- Familiarity with LLM frameworks and tools, or a background in machine learning or data science
- A bachelor’s degree or an equivalent mix of education, training and experience
Nice to have
- A love of teaching and mentoring
- Enjoyment of cross-organisational work and balancing competing priorities
