About the role
This is a critical leadership role responsible for building and scaling Anthropic's consulting, GSIs and AI-native boutique partners across Italy . You will own the strategic roadmap, investment prioritization, development plans, and revenue accountability for a portfolio of partnerships that will collectively become critical drivers of Anthropic's enterprise growth. This is a builder role, not a manager role. Given Anthropic's stage, we need someone who has proven they can take partnerships from zero to scaled revenue engines — someone who has built these relationships from the ground up, not just inherited and managed existing ones.

joint proposals submitted
Establish clear success metrics with each partner and drive regular business reviews against targets
Report on partnership health, progress, and commercial outcomes with data-driven insights
Every deal influenced through your partner portfolio 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.
