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 an Enterprise Account Executive based in Seoul, you’ll drive adoption of safe, frontier AI technology across Korea’s manufacturing industry — semiconductors and electronics, automotive and mobility, batteries, shipbuilding and heavy industry, and steel and chemicals. You’ll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing, working with senior leaders to help them modernize R&D and engineering, production and quality, supply chain, and corporate functions with Anthropic’s AI solutions.
Key responsibilities
- Own and exceed revenue targets by winning new accounts and expanding relationships across Korea’s manufacturing companies
- Build and execute territory plans, identifying opportunities across semiconductors and electronics, automotive and mobility, batteries and energy, shipbuilding and heavy industry, and materials and chemicals
- Lead consultative sales processes with senior stakeholders — including heads of digital/AI transformation (DX/AX), R&D and engineering leaders, manufacturing and quality executives, CIOs/CISOs, and business-line executives
- Navigate Korea’s manufacturing technology environment, including industrial technology and National Core Technology protection requirements, trade secret and IP safeguards, export control considerations, and strict information security review
- Work across group structures, including holding companies, affiliates, and group IT service companies that shape technology procurement and deployment
- Work with internal teams (Product, Engineering, Applied AI, Partnerships, Legal) to tailor solutions that meet manufacturing-sector security and IP protection standards
- Stay informed on trends shaping Korean manufacturing, including AI in engineering and design, smart factory and autonomous manufacturing initiatives, and supply chain resilience
Preferred qualifications
- 8+ years of enterprise sales experience in Korea, with significant exposure to manufacturing
- A genuine understanding of how Korean manufacturers make technology decisions, including the role of group-level governance, IT affiliates, information security functions, and R&D leadership
- Direct experience navigating security and IP protection reviews in manufacturing environments, including requirements tied to protected industrial technology and restricted data environments
- A track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles typical of large manufacturers, including group-wide rollouts and rigorous security review

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.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit directly for confirmed position openings.
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.
