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 an Enterprise Account Executive at Anthropic, you'll join the foundational team at the forefront of introducing our cutting-edge AI productivity API and SaaS solutions to semiconductor organisations across the Netherlands. You'll drive the adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic deals with semiconductor equipment makers, chip designers and manufacturers, and the specialist suppliers around them. You'll leverage your consultative sales expertise in the semiconductor and high-tech sector to propel revenue growth while becoming a trusted partner to semiconductor stakeholders, helping them embed and deploy AI while uncovering its full range of capabilities across hardware and software engineering, R&D, manufacturing, supply chain and field service. In collaboration with GTM, Product, and Marketing teams, you'll continuously refine our value proposition, sales methodology, and market positioning to resonate with semiconductor decision-makers.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for developing new market segments, pinpointing high-potential opportunities, and executing strategies to capture them. By driving deployment of Anthropic's emerging products, you will help enterprises obtain new capabilities while also advancing the ethical development of AI.

A track record of managing complex sales cycles within semiconductor, high-tech or advanced manufacturing organisations, ideally in the Netherlands or wider Benelux, and securing strategic deals by understanding both technical requirements and engineering use cases
Demonstrated ability to navigate large, global, engineering-led organisations and procurement processes, building consensus among diverse stakeholders including executives, engineering and R&D leadership, and IT departments
Extensive experience negotiating complex agreements within high-tech procurement frameworks, including supplier onboarding, IP protection, security and data governance reviews
Proven experience exceeding revenue targets by effectively managing an evolving pipeline and sales process
Excellent communication skills and the ability to present confidently to various technical and business audiences, from engineering and R&D leads to senior executives
Deep understanding of semiconductor buying cycles, decision-making processes, and key pain points, including the IP sensitivity, export control and supply chain pressures the industry operates within

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.
