Manager of Technical Deployment

Join Anthropic, a leading AI safety and research company, as the Manager of Technical Deployment in EMEA. In this player-coach role, you will lead a team of Technical Deployment Leads (TDLs) embedded with strategic customers, own engagement portfolio health, and define the delivery strategy for your portfolio. You will also directly manage each TDL, own customer outcomes, and lead the most complex engagements yourself. This position is based in London and requires travel to customer sites across EMEA.

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

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

About Anthropic

Know the EMEA enterprise landscape: how buying and procurement differ across markets, and how regulatory requirements affect what customers can deploy

Responsibilities

• Lead a team of Technical Deployment Leads (TDLs) and Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to ensure successful delivery of AI applications to strategic customers.
• Own engagement portfolio health across the team, set the bar for delivery quality, and define customer and use case priorities.
• Build, develop, and retain a high-performing team of TDLs, providing regular feedback, clear expectations, and growth plans.
• Have delivered AI/ML or LLM-based agentic solutions into production. You understand solution patterns, integration approaches, and what breaks in real environments
• Bring depth in at least one industry (e.g., financial services, healthcare and life sciences). You understand how security, compliance, and regulatory review shape what ships, and you can speak credibly with a CIO, a chief risk officer, and a head of engineering
• Have a track record of building and leading technical delivery teams in enterprise environments across more than one EMEA market, ideally including embedded or forward-deployed teams working at client sites
• Have executive presence: polished, credible, and concise with senior leaders in high-stakes settings, and just as effective in a hands-on engagement review with your team

Requirements

• Can navigate architecture discussions with engineering stakeholders, evaluate technical trade-offs, and judge whether a proposed agent design is realistic
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills. You can translate technical complexity into clear narratives for diverse audiences. Working proficiency in a second European language such as German or French is a plus
• Have experience with value-based scoping, including TCO/ROI quantification and post-deployment impact measurement
• Have 8+ years leading enterprise AI/ML delivery, whether you came up as a founder, engineer, data scientist, or researcher and moved into deployments, with at least 3 years directly managing people who owned delivery outcomes
• Thrive in ambiguity and bring structure where none exists. You have built a team, practice, or function from an early stage
• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
