About the role

EMEA sales leadership role focused on Beneficial Deployments, driving Claude adoption among mission-driven organizations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Player-coach position requiring hands-on deal closure and building a regional team, with autonomy across time zones and close alignment with global strategy.

Responsibilities

  • Win new business and drive revenue for Anthropic within EMEA mission-driven organisations. Navigate complex multi-stakeholder ecosystems to reach decision-makers, educate them about Claude, and help them succeed with Anthropic
  • Build and lead a regional team supporting EMEA customers, both inbound and outbound. Establish team structure, hiring priorities, and operational processes for scaling—while rolling up your sleeves to close deals yourself
  • Design and execute innovative sales strategies tailored to diverse EMEA contexts: nonprofit budget cycles and grant timelines, foundation giving patterns, and varying regulatory environments across jurisdictions
  • Navigate complex stakeholder ecosystems including INGO executive teams, foundation programme officers, trustees, executive directors, and IT departments to build consensus
  • Develop and maintain relationships with key EMEA ecosystem players: nonprofit networks (Bond, NCVO, European Foundation Centre), education networks, and implementation partners
  • Inform product roadmaps by gathering feedback from EMEA nonprofit and education users. Provide insights on regional requirements including data sovereignty, language support, and compliance needs
  • Continuously refine the EMEA sales methodology by incorporating learnings into playbooks, templates, and best practices. Adapt global processes for regional contexts while contributing insights back to the global team
  • Ensure all sales activities comply with relevant data protection regulations (GDPR, UK GDPR) and address customer concerns about data sovereignty, AI ethics, and responsible deployment
  • Partner effectively with SF-based teams across time zones, maintaining regular cadence with the Beneficial Deployments Lead and cross-functional stakeholders while operating with significant regional autonomy
  • Help shape team processes and culture as we scale from 1 to N

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of B2B sales experience in nonprofit technology, EdTech, or social impact sectors, preferably in EMEA SaaS or emerging technologies
  • Track record of managing complex sales cycles within nonprofits, INGOs, foundations, or educational institutions, securing strategic deals by understanding both mission requirements and technical needs
  • Experience building and scaling sales teams, with proven ability to recruit, develop, and retain top talent while operating across multiple time zones and cultural contexts
  • Deep understanding of nonprofit or education sector operations, including INGO federated structures, European foundation giving, UK charity sector dynamics, and/or higher education procurement
  • Demonstrated ability to navigate diverse stakeholder ecosystems including trustees, executive directors, programme officers, and procurement committees
  • A scrappy mentality—comfortable wearing multiple hats, building from scratch, driving clarity in ambiguous situations, and doing whatever it takes to further the mission
  • Strong understanding of GDPR and UK data protection, with ability to address customer concerns about AI ethics and responsible deployment
  • Proven experience exceeding revenue targets while operating autonomously, managing an evolving pipeline across multiple market segments and time zones
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to adapt style across cultural contexts
  • Fluency in English required; proficiency in French valued given Francophone Africa coverage; additional European languages a plus
  • A genuine passion for social impact and experience with or commitment to advancing mission-driven work through technology
