About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

As a Channel Account Manager for South Korea, you will be responsible for building, managing, and scaling strategic partnerships with both System Integrators (SIs) and resellers to accelerate the adoption of our solutions in the South Korean enterprise market. You will work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and South Korea's unique business ecosystem, helping partners integrate our products into their solution portfolios and joint go-to-market strategies.

As a Channel Account Manager, you will focus on growing reseller business in South Korea and achieving quarterly revenue targets through new customers and upsells. The position involves direct collaboration with partners and internal teams to overcome obstacles and implement growth strategies. Responsibilities include designing partner recruitment, enablement, and go-to-market plans, using a test-and-learn approach in ambiguous situations. Strong business creation skills are needed to identify joint value propositions and explore co-selling models. While revenue contribution is the key metric, building scalable partner engagement and executing joint initiatives are crucial for consistent growth.

This role is critical to establishing and expanding our presence in South Korea through the partner ecosystem, enabling us to serve South Korean enterprises at scale. You will be instrumental in building our channel strategy from the ground up in one of the world's most sophisticated technology markets.

Responsibilities:

Strategic Partner Management

• Develop and execute comprehensive business plans with System Integrators (NTT Data, Fujitsu, NEC, Hitachi, etc.) and key resellers to drive mutual growth and revenue targets
• Build and maintain executive-level relationships within South Korean partner organizations, navigating complex organizational structures and decision-making processes
• Own the full partner lifecycle from initial engagement through long-term strategic alignment, including regular business reviews and QBRs
• Plan and deliver partner-facing activities, such as training sessions, email campaigns, webinars, and joint events
• Negotiate and structure partnership agreements including technical integration terms, resale agreements, and revenue-sharing models

Business Development & Revenue Generation

• Build and maintain relationships with reseller and distributor partners to drive new customer acquisition and upsell revenue
• Collaborate with SI partners and resellers to identify, qualify, and close enterprise opportunities in key verticals (manufacturing, financial services, retail, telecommunications, life sciences)
• Drive joint sales activities including customer workshops, seminars, proof-of-concepts, and strategic account planning
• Track pipeline development, forecast revenue, and report on partnership performance metrics with detailed accuracy
• Manage channel conflict and ensure healthy ecosystem dynamics between direct sales, SI partners, and resellers

Enablement & Solution Development

• Lead comprehensive enablement programs including technical training, certification development, and sales methodology alignment
• Work closely with partner practices to develop joint solutions and industry-specific offerings tailored to South Korean market requirements
• Coordinate with global product and engineering teams to ensure South Korean partner requirements and customer feedback influence our roadmap
• Develop and maintain South Korean-language sales tools, technical documentation, and partner portals
• Facilitate knowledge transfer between Anthropic and South Korean partner technical teams

Go-to-Market Leadership

• Design and execute joint marketing campaigns
• Develop customer success stories and case studies that resonate with South Korean enterprise buyers
• Partner with internal teams to localize global GTM strategies for the South Korean market
• Represent the company at partner events, customer engagements, and industry conferences (CEATEC, South Korea IT Week, etc.)
• Identify and remove bottlenecks proactively by working with internal teams including Marketing, Sales, and Legal
• Foster alignment across departments to ensure successful partner execution and performance

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in channel management, strategic alliances, or business development within the South Korean technology market
• Proven track record managing relationships with South Korean System Integrators and/or technology resellers
• Deep understanding of South Korean enterprise sales cycles, decision-making processes, and business etiquette
• Native or business-level South Korean language skills
• Strong understanding of the South Korean IT landscape including cloud adoption trends, digital transformation initiatives, and regulatory requirements
• Demonstrated ability to navigate complex partner ecosystems and manage channel conflict
• Experience with enterprise software, cloud services, or AI/ML technologies in the South Korean market
• Exceptional relationship-building skills with ability to establish trust and credibility with executives
• Strong analytical skills with experience in business planning, forecasting, and performance measurement

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
