Applied AI Strategist, EMEA

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.

As an Applied AI Strategist for EMEA, you will be Anthropic's senior strategic voice with EMEA’s most strategic customers. You'll engage C-suite executives and senior business leaders at Europe's and the Middle East's largest enterprises to understand their challenges, shape their vision for how AI transforms their strategy, and build alignment toward bold, high-impact AI adoption.

This is not a hands-on engineering role. Your job is to walk into a boardroom in cities like London, Paris, Frankfurt or Milan, quickly read the competitive landscape, regulatory context and organizational dynamics, and help leaders see a compelling future centered on Claude. You'll lead our Executive Briefings (EBCs), own strategic positioning and proposals for top-tier EMEA accounts, and build the content, value frameworks and templates that let the wider team operate credibly at the executive level.

You’ll bring deep enterprise technology experience and a track record at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution in European markets. Whether you've been a CTO, Field CTO, consulting partner or a world‑class senior technical seller, what matters is that you know how large European organizations make technology decisions (regulators, procurement and works councils included) and can meet executives where they are with credibility, clarity and conviction.

• Turn the European regulatory landscape (EU AI Act, GDPR, DORA, EU AML regulations, data residency and sovereignty) from a perceived blocker into part of the case for Claude.
• Partner with Sales and Applied AI before and after engagements to align, debrief and carry the vision through to execution; stay close to high-momentum accounts as a trusted advisor and sustain deal momentum.
• Travel regularly across EMEA for executive engagements, workshops and strategic account meetings.

• 15+ years in enterprise technology or management consulting, with significant time at executive level in core EMEA markets (UK&I, France, DACH, Nordics, Benelux, Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa).
• A track record of influencing C-suite leaders at large European enterprises, and the cultural range to do it differently in Paris, Munich and Milan.
• Deep understanding of how large, often regulated, organizations evaluate, adopt and scale technology.
• The ability to connect AI capabilities to strategic outcomes through clear value frameworks and business cases.
• Experience producing executive-grade content others reuse: industry perspectives, strategic proposals, success plans.

• Comfort with ambiguity and pace in…
