Anthropic BDR Enablement Lead at Anthropic owning onboarding curriculum and skill development for business development representatives. Build AI-native prospecting workflows and coaching infrastructure to improve pipeline generation.
Responsibilities
We're looking for a BDR Enablement Lead to own the curriculum and craft development of Anthropic's business development organization.
Our BDRs are the front door to the pipeline and, for many of them, this is the first serious sales role of their career. What they learn here shapes how they sell for the next decade. This role owns that formation: the onboarding curriculum, sales foundations, the ongoing skill development, and the pipeline generation playbooks that turn effort into meetings.
It is also a role with an unusual opportunity. Anthropic's BDRs should be the most AI-native prospecting team in the industry. You will build the workflows that make that true — using plugins, account research skills, and agentic tooling to change what a BDR can accomplish in a day. Doing this well requires someone who is genuinely excited about the craft of prospecting and about rebuilding it around what AI now makes possible.
Own the BDR onboarding curriculum, taking new hires from day one to first meeting booked as quickly as we responsibly can
Enable BDRs on AI-native prospecting workflows, including plugins, account research skills, and agentic tooling that meaningfully change BDR productivity
Develop and maintain pipeline generation playbooks across segments, personas, and motions
Run ongoing skill development on sales fundamentals: cold calling, written outreach, objection handling, discovery, and qualification
Certify BDRs on our products, our qualification criteria, and our messaging
Partner with BDR leadership to identify where skill gaps are constraining pipeline, and build focused interventions
Build the coaching and call-review infrastructure that gives BDRs specific, frequent feedback
Measure enablement impact on ramp time, activity quality, meeting conversion, and pipeline contribution
Create a clear development path from BDR into the next role, in partnership with sales leadership
