Partner Marketing Lead, APAC

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 We are seeking a Partner Marketing Lead, APAC, reporting to the Global Head of Partner Marketing, to own partner marketing end to end across a region where partners are central to how Claude reaches enterprises. As our founding APAC Partner Marketing leader, you'll set the plan for the region rather than execute one set elsewhere: you'll build the operating model, carry partner pipeline goals, and turn our work with hyperscale cloud providers, global and regional systems integrators, resellers, and technology partners into a regional go-to-market motion that creates pipeline and drives adoption of Claude. The central challenge is sequencing: ANZ, ASEAN, India, Japan, and Korea differ in their partner ecosystems, buyers, languages, and maturity. In some, local partners are the main route to enterprise customers, and India's systems integrators also deliver for customers worldwide. You'll decide where to invest first, where a global or partner-led program is enough for now, and where to wait. This role calls for the seniority to lead a regional organization and the willingness to start hands-on with a very small team, defining the regional team plan and then hiring and managing the team as headcount opens. The role covers the whole region, including Japan, where you'll build on an established Partner Marketing presence, so that partners and sales teams experience one connected regional approach.
