About the 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

We are looking for a builder-minded Startup Partnerships lead to drive the adoption of Claude within the vibrant French and Southern European startup ecosystem. This is a 0-to-1 opportunity - you’ll be designing and executing innovative programs that enable startups to access and build with Claude across France, and expanding reach into Southern European markets (Spain, Italy, and beyond).

You will partner directly with leading French VCs, accelerators, and top startup customers to scale Anthropic’s reach and impact. You’ll define how Anthropic engages with one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI ecosystems and become a trusted AI advisor to founders and the VC community. Paris has emerged as a major European AI hub - home to leading AI labs and a dense concentration of AI-native startups and this role will put you at the centre of it.

This role is for builders — someone founders see as a peer and trusted technical partner, not a traditional partnerships hire. You’ll be hands-on with data, building your own dashboards, and shaping strategy through rigorous analysis.

Drive Net New Logo Acquisition Through Developer Enablement

Startup Partnerships — France & Europe du Sud | Paris, France

À propos d'Anthropic

La mission d'Anthropic est de créer des systèmes d'IA fiables, interprétables et maîtrisables. Nous voulons que l'IA soit sûre et bénéfique pour nos utilisateurs et pour la société dans son ensemble. Notre équipe est un groupe en pleine croissance de chercheurs, d'ingénieurs, d'experts en politique publique et de dirigeants d'entreprise engagés, qui travaillent ensemble à la construction de systèmes d'IA bénéfiques.

À propos du poste

Nous recherchons un(e) responsable Startup Partnerships animé(e) d'un esprit de bâtisseur, pour accélérer l'adoption de Claude au sein du dynamique écosystème startup français et sud-européen. Il s'agit d'une opportunité de création pure — vous concevrez et mettrez en œuvre des programmes innovants permettant aux startups d'accéder à Claude et de construire avec lui, en France d'abord, puis en élargissant la portée vers les marchés d'Europe du Sud (Espagne, Italie, et au-delà).

Vous collaborerez directement avec les principaux VCs, accélérateurs et clients startups français pour amplifier la portée et l'impact d'Anthropic. Vous définirez la manière dont Anthropic s'engage avec l'un des écosystèmes IA à la croissance la plus rapide en Europe, et deviendrez un conseiller IA de référence pour les fondateurs et la communauté des investisseurs. Paris s'est imposée comme un hub IA européen majeur — abritant des laboratoires d'IA de premier plan et une concentration dense de startups IA natives — et ce poste vous placera au cœur de cette effervescence.

Ce poste s'adresse à des bâtisseurs — des personnes que les fondateurs perçoivent comme des pairs et des partenaires techniques de confiance, et non comme des profils partenariats traditionnels. Vous serez directement opérationnel sur les données, construirez vos propres tableaux de bord et façonnerez la stratégie par une analyse rigoureuse.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

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.

Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. 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. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. 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!
