• Bring 7+ years of experience in enterprise security, cloud architecture, or technical pre-sales, with significant exposure to regulated industries in EMEA (financial services, insurance, healthcare). • Have deep technical knowledge of enterprise security concepts: network security, identity and access management, encryption (at rest and in transit), API security, and audit/logging requirements. • Have deep working knowledge of GDPR (data residency, data retention, Zero Data Retention, international transfers, DPIAs) and strong familiarity with the EU AI Act as it applies to foundation models. • Have experience navigating compliance frameworks relevant to European financial services and insurance (DORA, NIS2, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and national regulators' guidance on AI/ML such as FCA/PRA, BaFin, ACPR, FINMA). • Demonstrate a track record of leading complex, high-stakes engagements with CISOs, security teams, and compliance officers at large European enterprises. • Have a strong understanding of cloud architecture and deployment models (AWS, Azure, GCP), including VPCs, private endpoints, hybrid connectivity, and the European sovereign cloud landscape. • Communicate excellently, explaining complex security topics to both technical and non-technical audiences. • Be fluent in English. • Navigate ambiguity and move fast in a rapidly evolving market.

• Speak additional European languages beyond English. • Have a good understanding of the EMEA enterprise AI market and competitive landscape. • Have experience with AI-specific security considerations such as MCP, autonomous agents, and RBAC in the context of LLM deployments. • Have previously worked as a Security Architect, Field CTO, or senior pre-sales engineer at a cloud or AI vendor.

• Serve as the primary security and compliance expert in customer engagements, addressing technical questions about Claude's architecture, data flows, encryption, access controls, and deployment models. • Partner with CISOs, security architects, compliance teams, and DPOs to understand their security requirements and design solutions that meet European regulatory standards (GDPR, EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, SOC 2, PCI-DSS). • Lead technical deep dives on network architecture, EU data residency, data retention and Zero Data Retention policies, cross-border data transfers, API security, authentication/authorisation, audit logging, and integration patterns for regulated environments. • Support enterprise security reviews, vendor assessments, and due diligence with detailed technical documentation and expert guidance. • Guide customers through EU AI Act readiness, DORA, and NIS2, and position Anthropic within the European competitive landscape. • Collaborate with Sales and Applied AI teams from initial conversations through deployment. • Partner closely with Anthropic's product and engineering teams to understand Claude's security capabilities, relay customer feedback, and influence the roadmap. • Develop security-focused collateral, reference architectures, and best practices for regulated industries. • Travel regularly across EMEA for security workshops, architecture reviews, and strategic account meetings.
