Partnership Strategy & Operations Lead, International

Anthropic Anthropic · AI Frontier · London, United Kingdom · Sales

This role is for a Partnership Strategy & Operations Lead for Anthropic's International business, focusing on regional Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, targets, forecasts, and operational architecture. The role involves setting the strategic agenda for the region, shaping GTM across diverse markets, and establishing an operating system to translate ambition into a funded plan. It also includes leading cross-regional initiatives to improve the global Partnerships function's operations. The role is described as a 'builder's seat' focused on execution and accountability.

What you'd actually do

  1. Author the International Partnership GTM strategy and the commercial thesis for how the region contributes to the global plan
  2. Own the regional plan end-to-end: partner coverage, quota design, capacity modelling, and target-setting across markets
  3. Own the regional forecast -stage definitions, conversion economics, and forecast accuracy you stand behind
  4. Run the regional operating rhythm — weekly reviews, MBRs, QBRs, executive readouts — calibrated across time zones
  5. Codify the regional operating handbook: SOPs, runbooks, and escalation playbooks localized to market realities

Skills

Required

  • Experience in GTM Strategy & Operations, Revenue Operations, or Partner Operations at the regional or business-unit level
  • Track record of building and owning regional GTM plans end-to-end across international markets, with direct experience in at least two of UKI, EMEA, India, Japan, or broader APAC
  • Proficiency with the RevOps stack end-to-end — SQL, Looker or Tableau, and Salesforce or a comparable PRM
  • Demonstrated ability to lead horizontal strategic initiatives across a commercial organization (e.g., OKR frameworks, investment cases, executive narrative)

Nice to have

  • 7+ years of experience in GTM Strategy & Operations, Revenue Operations, or Partner Strategy & Operations
  • Experience as the partner to a regional or international sales or partnerships leader — trusted to carry the number, shape the agenda, and work through the hardest conversations
  • Deep fluency in consumption or usage-based revenue businesses
  • Strong grasp of the cross-geographic realities that break single-market playbooks: regulatory divergence, data residency, channel maturity, and partner economics by region
  • Comfort adapting style and pace across business cultures, and building credibility with stakeholders in very different markets
  • Strategy and operations experience inside a high-growth technology company
  • A Startup or strategy consulting background paired with meaningful operating experience
  • Experience preparing materials for Boards or other senior governance forums
  • Working understanding of how indirect revenue models operate at scale — commercial mechanics, measurement challenges, and organizational dynamics
  • Time spent in the enterprise AI, cloud, or developer infrastructure markets
  • A bias for execution — hands-on, driven to ship, and energized by building rather than deliberating
