You'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing, working with senior leaders to help them modernize the Telecommunications industry and operations with Anthropic's AI solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Own and exceed revenue targets by winning new major Telecommunications accounts and expanding existing relationships across Japan's government entities and Telecommunications
  • Build and execute territory plans, identifying high-value opportunities across national government ministries, prefectural and municipal governments, and quasi-governmental organizations

  • Demonstrated ability to navigate Telecommunications stakeholder ecosystems, building consensus across multiple departments, budget authorities, and approval layers
  • Proven experience exceeding revenue targets by effectively managing pipeline across different government fiscal timelines
  • A knack for bringing order to chaos and an enthusiastic "roll up your sleeves" mentality. You are a true team player who thrives in ambiguous, startup-like environments
  • A strategic, analytical approach to identifying opportunities within Japan's Telecommunications sector combined with patient, relationship-focused execution
  • A passion for and/or experience with advanced AI systems. You feel strongly about ensuring frontier AI systems are developed safely and responsibly for public benefit
