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.\nÀ propos du rôle\nAnthropic construit l’équipe Applied AI pour aider les organisations les plus ambitieuses du monde à adopter Claude de manière transformatrice, sûre et durable. Nos Forward Deployed Engineers s’intègrent directement auprès de clients stratégiques pour déployer des applications d’IA en production qui résolvent de véritables problèmes métier. À mesure que cette pratique se développe, nous avons besoin d’une personne leader pour construire et développer cette équipe.\nEn tant que premier Forward Deployed Manager en Europe du Sud, vous piloterez l’équipe qui se situe à la frontière du déploiement d’IA en entreprise. Vous recruterez et développerez une équipe performante de Forward Deployed Engineers, fixerez le standard technique et opérationnel pour les engagements clients, et construirez les playbooks qui transforment les succès ponctuels en modèles reproductibles. Vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec les Engagement Managers qui gèrent la logistique de livraison et les relations avec les parties prenantes, tout en veillant à ce que votre équipe livre du code de qualité, se développe techniquement, et représente Anthropic au plus haut niveau dans les environnements clients.\nCe rôle est un rôle de meneur-contributeur avec une forte orientation leadership. Vous resterez assez impliqué dans le travail technique pour examiner les architectures, déboguer les problèmes en production, et vous associer à votre équipe quand cela compte - mais votre impact principal viendra des personnes que vous recruterez, des standards que vous fixerez, et de la culture que vous créerez. Vous collaborerez de manière transversale avec les équipes Ventes, Produit et Ingénierie pour façonner la manière dont Anthropic sert ses clients les plus stratégiques, et les insights de terrain de votre équipe influenceront directement la direction produit.\nCe rôle nécessite quelqu’un qui s’épanouit dans l’ambiguïté et qui est énergisé par la création à partir de zéro. Vous définirez ce que l’excellence ressemble pour la gestion d’une équipe FDE chez Anthropic - il n’existe pas de playbook existant à suivre.\nResponsabilités\nRecruter, développer et fidéliser une équipe de classe mondiale de Forward Deployed Engineers. Fixer un haut standard pour le talent technique et l’instinct client.\nMener des entretiens individuels réguliers, fournir du mentorat technique, et investir dans la progression de carrière de chaque membre de l’équipe. Créer un environnement où les Forward Deployed Engineers accomplissent leur meilleur travail.\nStaffier et superviser les engagements clients dans le portefeuille de votre équipe, en prenant des décisions d’allocation des ressources qui équilibrent les besoins clients, le développement de l’équipe, et les priorités métier.\nCollaborer avec les équipes de compte et les Engagement Managers pendant le processus de pré-vente pour qualifier les engagements, définir le périmètre du travail, et informer les demandes de travail.\nExaminer les architectures techniques et le code produit par vos Forward Deployed Engineers, en veillant à ce que l’équipe livre des solutions production de haute qualité qui résolvent de véritables problèmes clients.\nRester assez impliqué pour diriger des sessions de découverte technique, prototyper des solutions, et déboguer des problèmes complexes aux côtés de votre équipe quand cela est nécessaire.\nConstruire des playbooks reproductibles, des dépôts de démarrage, des modèles d’intégration, et une base de connaissances interne qui capture ce que votre équipe apprend sur le terrain.\nDéfinir les OKRs de l’équipe liés aux résultats de succès client et aux objectifs d’adoption produit. Créer des cadences opérationnelles - standups, rétros, revues d’engagement - qui maintiennent l’équipe alignée.\nCollaborer avec Produit et Ingénierie pour traduire les insights de terrain en améliorations produit. Servir comme voix du client dans la planification interne.\nVoyager sur les sites des clients selon les besoins (25-50%), particulièrement lors des lancements d’engagement et pour les comptes prioritaires de votre équipe.\nVous pourriez être un bon fit si vous avez\n10+ ans d’expérience en ingénierie logicielle, architecture de solutions, ou dans un rôle technique orienté client comme l’ingénierie forward deployed ou le conseil.\n2+ ans d’expérience en gestion de personnes au sein d’une organisation de services/post-vente/FDE avec un palmarès de recrutement, développement et fidélisation d’ingénieurs performants.\nDe l’expérience dans la construction d’organisations de zéro à un, pas seulement l’héritage d’une organisation existante.\nDe l’expérience de travail direct avec des clients d’entreprise sur des mises en œuvre techniques, y compris l’aisance à naviguer dans les dynamiques organisationnelles complexes.\nUne présence de cadre avec la capacité à naviguer fluidement entre les conversations stratégiques avec les parties prenantes senior et les sessions de débogage pratiques avec les ingénieurs.\nDes compétences fortes en communication écrite et verbale. Vous pouvez traduire la complexité technique en narratifs clairs pour des audiences diverses.\nUn enthousiasme sincère pour la construction de quelque chose de nouveau et la définition de l’excellence pour une équipe qui n’existe pas encore.\nPourquoi ce rôle compte\nVous serez une personne leader fondatrice d’une équipe qui définit comment les entreprises adoptent et déploient l’IA. Votre travail influencera directement la direction produit d’Anthropic, créera des modèles réutilisables pour la base clients plus large, et établira Anthropic comme le partenaire de confiance pour la transformation de l’IA - tout en promouvant le développement responsable des systèmes d’IA de pointe.\nAbout the role\nAnthropic is building the Applied AI team to help the world's most ambitious organizations adopt Claude in ways that are transformative, safe, and lasting. Our Forward Deployed Engineers embed directly with strategic customers to ship production AI applications that solve real business problems. As this practice grows, we need a founding leader to build and scale it.\nAs the first FDE Manager in Southern Europe, you'll own the team that sits at the frontier of enterprise AI deployment. You'll hire and develop a high-performing team of FDEs, set the technical and operational bar for customer engagements, and build the playbooks that turn one-off successes into repeatable patterns. You'll work hand-in-hand with Engagement Managers who own delivery logistics and stakeholder management, while you ensure your team is shipping quality code, growing technically, and representing Anthropic at the highest level in customer environments.\nThis is a player-coach role with a strong bias toward leadership. You'll stay close enough to the technical work to review architectures, debug production issues, and pair with your team when it matters - but your primary impact will come from the people you hire, the standards you set, and the culture you create. You'll partner cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Engineering to shape how Anthropic serves its most strategic customers, and your team's field insights will directly influence product direction.\nThis role requires someone who thrives in ambiguity and is energized by building from zero to one. You'll be defining what good looks like for FDE management at Anthropic - there is no existing playbook to follow.\nResponsibilities\nHire, develop, and retain a world-class team of Forward Deployed Engineers. Set a high bar for technical talent and customer instincts.\n\nConduct regular 1:1s, provide technical mentorship, and invest in the career growth of each team member. Create an environment where FDEs do the best work of their careers.\n\nStaff and oversee customer engagements across your team's portfolio, making resource allocation decisions that balance customer needs, team development, and business priorities.\n\nCollaborate with account teams and Engagement Managers during the pre-sales process to qualify engagements, scope work, and inform statements of work.\n\nReview technical architectures and code produced by your FDEs, ensuring the team ships high-quality, production-ready solutions that solve real customer problems.\n\nStay hands-on enough to lead technical discovery sessions, prototype solutions, and debug complex issues alongside your team when needed.\n\nBuild repeatable playbooks, starter repositories, integration templates, and an internal knowledge base that captures what your team learns in the field.\n\nDefine team OKRs that tie to customer success outcomes and product adoption goals. Create operational cadences - standups, retros, engagement reviews - that keep the team aligned.\n\nPartner with Product and Engineering to translate field insights into product improvements. Serve as the voice of the customer in internal planning.\n\nTravel to customer sites as needed (25-50%), particularly during engagement kickoffs and for your team's highest-priority accounts.\n\nYou may be a good fit if you have\n10+ years of experience in software engineering, solutions architecture, or a technical customer-facing role such as forward deployed engineering or consulting.\n\n2+ years of people management experience within a services/post-sales/FDE organization with a track record of hiring, developing, and retaining strong engineers.\n\nExperience building organizations from 0->1, not just inheriting an existing one.\n\nExperience working directly with enterprise customers on technical implementations, including comfort navigating complex organizational dynamics.\n\nExecutive presence with the ability to move fluidly between strategic conversations with senior stakeholders and hands-on debugging sessions with engineers.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills. You can translate technical complexity into clear narratives for diverse audiences.\n\nGenuine excitement about building something new and defining what great looks like for a team that doesn't yet exist.\n\nWhy this role matters\nYou'll be a founding leader of a team that defines how enterprises adopt and scale AI. Your work will directly influence Anthropic's product direction, create reusable patterns for the broader customer base, and establish Anthropic as the trusted partner for AI transformation - all while advancing the responsible development of frontier AI systems.\nThe annual compensation range for this role is listed below. \nFor sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (\"OTE\") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.\nAnnual Salary:\n€235.000—€295.000 EUR\nLogistics\nMinimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience\nRequired field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience\nMinimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position\nLocation-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time.
