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
Anthropic is hiring a Field Marketing Manager dedicated to the Public Sector Industry — one of the fastest-growing customer segments we serve, and one we believe will define how the next generation of AI-native companies adopts and builds with Claude. You will own the field marketing strategy and end-to-end execution for Public Sector audiences in the US, partnering closely with our Public Sector Sales teams.

This is a builder role. Field Marketing at Anthropic is a small, scrappy team and the Public Sector is an area of growth for the business — there is no existing playbook for you to inherit. You will design the event calendar, build the integrated digital programs, develop the necessary partnerships, and create the playbooks that scale across our Public Sector motion.

Key responsibilities

Develop and activate the US Public Sector field marketing strategy end-to-end — planning, calendar, execution, and measurement.

Design and run public-sector-appropriate event formats — agency roundtables, mission-focused briefings, tech demo days, industry days, and executive breakfasts — that comply with government ethics and gift rules while building trusted relationships with program and procurement stakeholders.

Plan the field calendar around the government fiscal year — building demand programs that peak ahead of federal year-end and state budget cycles, and capitalize on use‑it‑or‑lose‑it spending windows.

Own presence at anchor public sector events — from sponsorship strategy to speaker placement and on‑site execution.

Build co‑marketing programs with the public sector channel ecosystem — distributors, resellers, systems integrators, and contract‑vehicle holders — including joint events, teaming‑oriented content, and partner‑sourced pipeline.

Partner closely with Public Sector Sales and BDRs on pre‑event targeting, during‑event engagement, and post‑event follow‑up to convert attention into pipeline.

Build operational playbooks (Demo Day activation kit, hackathon kit) that the Field Marketing team can scale across regions and segments.

Establish baseline metrics, dashboards, and ROI reporting for all Public Sector field programs.

Be the face of Anthropic in the Public Sector ecosystem — credible with strategic partners and agencies.

You may be a good fit if you:

Have direct Public Sector‑segment experience — you have built and run programs targeting the Public Sector as your primary audience.

Own end‑to‑end field marketing events and programs, hands‑on in both strategy and execution.

Have a track record of repeat success across multiple companies, scaling field or demand‑generation programs.

Possess 0‑to‑1 builder DNA — you have built a field marketing motion from scratch or rebuilt one, and you also have scaled‑company tenure that grounds you operationally.

Align closely with sales — you have worked shoulder‑to‑shoulder with AEs and BDRs on account targeting, pre‑event outreach, and post‑event follow‑up.

Show operational rigor — you can stand up vendor management, registration, follow‑up workflows, and ROI dashboards without being asked.

Show technical credibility — you can review technical event content, brief technical speakers, and hold your own with founder/CTO audiences.

Strong candidates may have:

10+ years across Field Marketing, Demand Generation, ABM, and Events at B2B technology companies.

Experience working inside a Public Sector organization that went through a rapid growth phase, or a blend of Public Sectors and scaled technology companies.

AI/ML field marketing experience.

Existing relationships with public sector associations and research institutions.

Visible thought leadership in the Public Sector ecosystem or developer ecosystem.
