Job description

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.

About Anthropic

About the role

We're looking for our founding APAC Field Marketing Leader, someone strategy-strong who can autonomously own a regional function end to end — set the strategy, build the operating system, carry the number, and represent marketing credibly to regional sales leadership and to global marketing leadership at the same time. Not a program manager who executes a plan set elsewhere.

The essential tension to screen for: this person needs the seniority and judgment to lead an org, and the willingness to be a team of one for a while. Regional expansion is planned but the timing isn't fixed, which means for some meaningful period they are writing the doc, running the roundtable, and negotiating with the agency themselves. Scrappy, low-ego, and hands-on — but senior enough to see the whole picture without the support systems a mature regional marketing org would provide.

Regional judgment matters more here than in most field marketing roles. One person cannot serve five sub-regions equally, so the job is fundamentally about sequencing: which markets get real first-party investment, which get partner-led coverage, and which wait. They need to make those calls, defend them to sales leaders in each market, and revisit them as signal comes in.

Partner fluency is not a nice-to-have in this region — it's the primary distribution mechanism. Someone who has only run first-party programs will find the leverage model unfamiliar.

What a successful candidate looks like: a leader who landed in a new region with nothing, picked the right two markets to prove out, used partner and agency capacity to punch well above their headcount, and can point to the pipeline, the operating system, and the team plan they left behind.

Ideal Profiles

The first-in-region builder who then scaled it. Was the founding field or regional marketing hire for APAC at an enterprise software company and grew it into a team. Brings direct experience with both halves of this job. Pressure-test whether they built a durable function or just ran events, and whether they're still willing to be hands-on at the start.
The partner-led regional leader. Led co-marketing and demand programs through cloud providers, resellers, and distributors across APAC markets. Strongest on leverage and ecosystem motion. Pressure-test whether they can also build direct enterprise ABM and own a pipeline number independent of partners.
The multi-market APAC field marketing leader. Owned field marketing across several APAC sub-regions at a scaled tech company. Brings market fluency, local vendor and event relationships, and cultural range. Pressure-test appetite for building infrastructure from scratch rather than operating within an existing system, and for the period before they have a team.

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.
