Strategic Partner Development – Semiconductor Product Partnerships

About the role

Anthropic is seeking a senior leader to drive product partnerships within the semiconductor ecosystem. This role is not a sales position; you will work closely with product, research, engineering, legal, and go‑to‑market teams to shape platform strategy, source partners, and negotiate commercial and technical agreements.

Key responsibilities

• Research, source, structure, negotiate, and close strategic collaborations across the semiconductor stack.
• Serve as the internal expert on semiconductor partnerships, translating industry realities to Anthropic’s roadmap.
• Navigate complex counterparty organizations to finalize non‑standard contracts and research agreements.
• Structure commercial software, IP, and technology‑access agreements that preserve optionality for both parties.
• Coordinate cross‑functionally with research, product, engineering, corporate development, policy, finance, and legal to scope, evaluate, approve, and implement partnerships end‑to‑end.
• Support executive‑level engagements, preparing briefings, deal frameworks, and negotiation strategies.
• Flex into other product‑partnership verticals as company priorities shift, owning high‑leverage commercial deals outside semiconductors when needed.

Required profile

• 8+ years in strategic partnerships, business development, technology licensing, or corporate development, with significant experience in or adjacent to the semiconductor industry.
• Proven ability to close deals across multiple industries or deal types and quickly ramp on new domains.
• Strong track record of navigating complex organizational structures and negotiating non‑standard agreements.
• Comfort working in a fast‑moving, senior‑level team at the intersection of frontier AI research and commercial deal‑making.
