Enterprise Account Executive - Retail/CPG

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, Retail/CPG based in Seoul, you'll drive the adoption of safe, frontier AI technology across Korea's retail, consumer goods, and consumer commerce organizations. You'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closing, working with senior leaders to help them optimize operations, personalize customer experiences at scale, and strengthen their competitive position with Anthropic's AI solutions.

Key responsibilities

• Own and exceed revenue targets by winning new major retail and CPG accounts and expanding existing relationships across Korea's department store and hypermarket groups, convenience store chains, e-commerce platforms, consumer goods manufacturers, and omnichannel brands
• Build and execute territory plans, identifying high-value opportunities across retail conglomerates, specialty and duty-free retailers, beauty and fashion brands, food and beverage companies, and marketplace platforms
• Lead consultative sales processes with senior executives, including CIOs, CDOs, CMOs, and heads of supply chain and e-commerce, positioning AI as a driver for demand forecasting, personalization, inventory optimization, and enhanced customer experience
• Orchestrate internal teams (Product, Engineering, Applied AI, Partnerships) to deliver solutions that integrate with existing retail and CPG technology stacks while meeting Korea's data privacy requirements under PIPA

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 8+ years of enterprise sales experience in Korea with significant exposure to retail and consumer goods accounts, driving adoption of emerging technologies with a consultative, solutions-oriented approach
• A track record of managing complex sales processes and securing strategic deals with large-scale retailers and CPG companies by understanding the operational and technology challenges unique to Korea's retail landscape
• Demonstrated ability to navigate retail and CPG stakeholder ecosystems, building alignment across merchandising, supply chain, digital, brand marketing, and customer experience teams with multiple budget authorities and approval layers
• Proven experience exceeding revenue targets by effectively managing pipeline across seasonal retail cycles and the rapid decision-making cadence of consumer-facing businesses
• 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 Korea's retail and CPG 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 broad benefit
• Excellent communication skills in both Korean and English

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 anthropic.com/careers 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.
