Customer Success Manager, Commercial

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. Join Anthropic's Customer Success team in a high-impact role driving AI adoption across our Commercial segment. As one of the first CSMs for our Commercial segment, you’ll be a thought partner both for our customers and for your cross-functional partners, helping define how Customer Success can play the most meaningful role in helping our customers harness the full potential of our products, move toward the frontier, and ultimately realize value. You'll work with organizations that move fast and push the boundaries of what's possible with AI, helping them harness the full potential of all of our Claude capabilities: from Claude Code and Cowork to the API. Drawing on both your business acumen and technical expertise, you’ll gain a deep understanding of customers’ business objectives, strategic direction, AI vision, and technical needs to serve as a strategic advisor throughout their journey. In partnership with the broader account team, you will help customers identify the right Claude capabilities for their specific business objectives, providing best practices and guidance while supporting your customers as their usage grows and evolves. Your role focuses on helping customers both scale and optimize their usage, implement change management strategies, and maximize the value of their investment through expanded use cases and value realization measurements. The insights you gather from your customers will directly inform our product development and go-to-market strategies — making you a key voice in shaping how we build and deliver ongoing value as a Commercial segment and broader business.
