In the posting’s own words

As a Strategic Pursuits Lead at Anthropic, you will operate as an elite individual contributor running our largest and most complex enterprise pursuits end-to-end. You will serve as the strategic quarterback for high-stakes engagements with Fortune 100 companies and global institutions, owning the C-suite relationships and discussions each pursuit demands while working hand in hand with the account team and field leadership who own the account. That ownership is an and, not an or, and the pursuit only works when both are true. You will coordinate across product, research, partnerships, legal, and executive leadership, and architect bespoke solutions that unlock transformational business value. When the agreement is signed, you will hand the account back in a healthy state, with the account team positioned to execute what was signed and a playbook behind you. This role reports directly to the Head of Strategic Pursuits.
