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 the Sales Manager for Life Sciences at Anthropic, you’ll lead the foundational team introducing our frontier AI platform to the pharma and biotech ecosystem, spanning large pharma, mid-size and emerging biotech, and the organizations that support drug development. You’ll build and develop a team of Strategic Account Executives who drive adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic deals with pharmaceutical and biotech companies. You’ll bring deep domain fluency in how drugs are discovered, developed, approved, and launched to coach your team’s consultative sales approach, while becoming a trusted advisor yourself to senior pharma and biotech stakeholders, helping them embed and deploy AI across the drug lifecycle from target discovery through commercialization. In collaboration with Product and Marketing, you’ll continuously refine the team’s value proposition, sales methodology, and market positioning to resonate with decision-makers across large pharma and biotech.

The ideal candidate has a passion for developing new market segments within pharma and biotech, pinpointing high-potential opportunities across discovery, preclinical, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, and commercial functions, and building a team that can execute strategies to capture them. By driving deployment of Anthropic’s emerging products across pharma and biotech organizations, you’ll help them accelerate the path from science to patients while advancing the ethical development of AI.

Key responsibilities

Build and lead a specialized team of Strategic Account Executives covering large pharma and biotech accounts, setting growth targets by segment and coaching reps through the full sales cycle from outbound to close
Design and oversee sales strategies tailored to the distinct procurement cycles of pharma and biotech, including R&D and discovery budgets, clinical development and operations, regulatory and CMC investment, commercial budgeting, and enterprise IT and digital transformation programs, translating market and trend analysis into account plans and campaigns that meet and exceed team revenue targets
Identify and prioritize high-potential opportunities across target identification and drug discovery, preclinical development, clinical trial design and operations, regulatory affairs and submissions, medical affairs, manufacturing and quality (GxP), pharmacovigilance and drug safety, and commercial functions, partnering cross-functionally to differentiate Anthropic’s offering for pharma and biotech use cases
Run a disciplined pipeline and forecasting cadence across the team, managing an evolving sales process to deliver predictable, coachable performance against quota
Serve as Anthropic’s domain expert across the pharma and biotech value chain, including discovery research, IND-enabling studies, clinical trial operations, NDA/BLA regulatory submissions, tech transfer and manufacturing, post-market safety, and commercial launch, and translate that expertise into repeatable playbooks, frameworks, and go-to-market strategies your team and the broader field organization can scale
Partner directly with C-suite and senior R&D leaders (CEOs, CIOs, CDOs, CSOs, CMOs, Heads of R&D, Heads of Clinical Development, Heads of Regulatory, CCOs) across pharma and biotech organizations to design multi-year AI transformation roadmaps and build long-term trusted advisor relationships
Partner closely with Product and Applied AI to translate feedback from discovery scientists, clinical operations teams, regulatory and quality leaders, and commercial teams into product and roadmap input, strengthening Anthropic’s value proposition across the segment
Build strategic relationships with life sciences-focused system integrators, technology vendors, CROs, CDMOs, and industry organizations to scale go-to-market capabilities
Establish Anthropic’s position as the AI partner of choice across pharma and biotech through conference presentations, white papers, case studies, and participation in industry forums
Codify learnings into playbooks, templates, and best practices, partnering with Marketing and Enablement to scale winning use cases and proof points across pharma and biotech accounts

Minimum qualifications

10+ years of experience in life sciences, with at least 5 years specifically selling into or working within pharma or biotech organizations (R&D, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, or commercial functions, or related consulting)
Experience in leadership roles managing or coaching enterprise sales teams, with a track record of driving measurable revenue outcomes in pharma, biotech, or adjacent life sciences settings
Deep understanding of business models, operations, and economics across pharma and/or biotech, including the drug development lifecycle, the regulatory environment (FDA, EMA, GxP, 21 CFR Part 11), and competitive dynamics
A track record of managing or overseeing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles within pharma or biotech organizations, securing strategic deals by understanding both technical requirements and scientific, regulatory, and commercial use cases
Proven experience exceeding revenue targets by effectively managing a team’s pipeline and an evolving sales process
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present confidently across pharma and biotech audiences, from discovery scientists and clinical leaders to C-suite executives
A genuine interest in deploying AI responsibly and motivation to advance Anthropic’s mission of building safe, beneficial AI

Preferred qualifications

Deep understanding of buying cycles, decision-making processes, and key pain points across both large pharma and biotech, and across multiple functions (R&D, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, commercial)
A strategic, analytical approach to assessing the pharma and biotech market, paired with creative, tactical execution to capture opportunities and a willingness to roll up sleeves on deals alongside the team
Experience developing and refining AI use cases in collaboration with customers and channel partners, spanning drug discovery, clinical development, regulatory and quality, pharmacovigilance, manufacturing, or commercial functions
Experience building or scaling a specialized sales team from an early stage
Passion for and/or experience with advanced AI systems and their applications in drug discovery and development, with strong conviction around safe, ethical development of AI in these contexts

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.
