About this role

The Applied AI Strategist position in London at Anthropic is a senior strategic leadership role designed to guide major European and Middle Eastern enterprises through transformative AI adoption centered on Claude.

The focus centers on shaping a corporate vision for AI transformation, leading Executive Briefings, and defining strategic proposals.

Transform complex European regulatory frameworks, including the EU AI Act, GDPR, DORA, and data sovereignty requirements, into strategic advantages for Claude adoption.
Collaborate closely with Sales and Applied AI teams before and after client engagements to maintain deal momentum and act as a trusted advisor.
Travel regularly across the EMEA region to conduct executive workshops, strategic account meetings, and client presentations.

Requirements

Minimum of 15 years of professional experience in enterprise technology or management consulting, featuring significant leadership time within core EMEA markets.
Proven track record of successfully influencing C-suite leaders at large European enterprises with distinct cultural adaptability across regions like Paris, Munich, and Milan.
Deep understanding of how regulated organizations evaluate, adopt, and scale enterprise technology.
Demonstrated ability to link advanced AI capabilities directly to strategic business outcomes through clear value frameworks and business cases.
