About the role

We are seeking a Public Sector Account Executive to drive the adoption of safe, frontier AI across governments in Southeast Asia, establishing and growing Anthropic's presence in this strategic region.

  • Own the full sales cycle for public sector opportunities across ASEAN, from initial outreach through to successful deployment, with a focus on building long-term strategic partnerships
  • Navigate the procurement requirements, security standards, and compliance frameworks specific to government technology adoption in each market—including GeBIZ procurement and IM8 security requirements in Singapore—and prioritise markets based on opportunity and readiness
  • Collaborate with policy teams to ensure alignment with national AI strategies and digital government initiatives across the region, such as Singapore's National AI Strategy and Smart Nation programme and the ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics

🎯 Candidate Preparation Guide For Anthropic Applicants

Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights

Key Role Focus:

Evaluating candidates on extreme intellectual humility combined with rigorous mechanical safety, specifically testing how well you navigate high-ambiguity AI alignment and scaling challenges.

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):
  • 1. Using hype-driven buzzwords like 'AGI in 6 months' or dismissing safety guardrails as bureaucratic slow-downs.
  • 2. Exhibiting arrogance or defensiveness when an interviewer pushes back on a system architecture design.
  • 3. Lacking foundational systems-level debugging experience in distributed compute or large-scale data pipelines.
✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I build robust, interpretable AI systems by treating safety and capability as deeply coupled engineering challenges rather than competing constraints.
