- Partner closely with segment leads and senior partner leadership to understand requirements and shape high-impact engagements.
- Design cohort-based accelerators, Claude Code enablement programs, and other scalable mechanisms to multiply impact across many organizations.
- Identify patterns across partners to inform ecosystem-level work (MCPs, evals, reference implementations, shared infrastructure).
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering to surface partner needs, influence roadmap, and ensure field learnings shape Claude's evolution.
