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 the Private Equity Partnerships Manager at Anthropic, you will own day-to-day relationships with top-tier PE sponsors and drive Claude adoption across their portfolio companies. You’ll operate at the intersection of private equity, AI technology, and enterprise transformation—structuring partnership terms, managing FDE deployments at portfolio companies, and ensuring Claude products and AI agent engagements deliver measurable value.
This role requires someone who is fluent in PE sponsor economics, comfortable navigating multi-stakeholder environments, and capable of managing complex deal cycles from term sheet through operational execution. You’ll work closely with the Head of Private Equity to shape strategy while owning execution across multiple sponsor relationships simultaneously.
Your success will be measured by your ability to activate partnerships into live deployments and hit revenue milestones across your assigned sponsors. You’ll be a critical contributor to Anthropic’s initiative to support the massive opportunity in PE-backed mid-market enterprises.
Own the structuring, negotiation, and execution of PE partnership agreements across multiple engagement models. Draft and iterate on term sheets, revenue commitments, preferred partner status, and engagement economics. Manage deal cycles through internal approvals (Legal, Finance) and external stakeholder sign-off (GP leadership, operating partners, portfolio company CEOs).
Serve as Anthropic’s primary day-to-day point of contact for multiple PE sponsors. Build deep relationships with operating partners, deal teams, and portfolio company leadership. Run recurring cadences (QBRs, pipeline reviews, executive check-ins) to maintain momentum and surface new deployment opportunities.
Drive portfolio company activation by identifying high-value use cases, supporting engagement scoping, and overseeing deployment cycles. Coordinate with FDEs, product, and research to ensure engagements hit quality and timeline gates. Track deployment metrics and communicate progress to sponsor stakeholders.
Own pipeline development and revenue targets for assigned sponsors. Build and maintain a rolling forecast of deployment opportunities across portfolio companies. Drive upsell and expansion within activated accounts.
Partner with Legal, Finance, Research, Product, and the broader Sales organization to move deals forward and ensure deployment learnings feed back into Anthropic’s product roadmap. Coordinate with SI and implementation partners on engagements that involve joint solution delivery.

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.

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.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
