Key Responsibilities

• Own a book of strategic, high-value accounts across retail banking, commercial banking, and consumer finance organizations, carrying and exceeding an individual revenue target.

• Identify and prioritize high-potential opportunities within your accounts, building and executing account plans that turn strategic relationships into committed revenue.
• Run a disciplined pipeline and forecasting cadence — accurate deal inspection, clear next steps, and predictable, coachable execution across a high-value, long-cycle book of business.
• Partner closely with Applied AI, Solutions Architecture, and Product to design solutions, prove value quickly, and translate retail and commercial banking needs — customer service, underwriting, risk, operations — into product and roadmap input.
• Codify winning use cases, proof points, and reference stories from your deals, partnering with Marketing and Enablement to help scale them across the broader FSI motion.
• Orchestrate cross-functional and partner motions with Customer Success, Legal, Partnerships, and cloud partners to deliver a seamless customer experience, and represent Anthropic as a visible, trusted voice with customers and at industry events.

• Experience winning and growing strategic enterprise accounts, including building C-suite relationships, within retail and commercial banking.
• Operational rigor across complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles — balancing velocity with deal quality and forecasting accurately in fast-changing environments.
