## About the role

We're seeking a business development lead to own Anthropic's BD partnership footprint with a small number of the world's largest and most consequential technology companies. These are not single-threaded accounts. Each relationship spans many businesses at once — consumer products, devices and operating systems, productivity and collaboration software, cloud and developer platforms, commerce, and enterprise distribution. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Direct experience owning a large, multi-business partner relationship, where you were responsible for the whole relationship rather than a single deal or product line
- Experience personally leading complex, multi-stakeholder negotiations with senior executives, including deals with interlocking terms, competitive sensitivities, and multi-year commitments
- Demonstrated ability to manage several significant negotiations at the same time without losing the thread on any of them
- Experience coordinating cross-functional execution (e.g., Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance) to bring a complex agreement from structuring through signature and delivery
