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

We are seeking a Strategic Finance leader to manage the “machines” finance function covering the chips and accelerators that run our models.

Key responsibilities
  • Own the economics of chip and accelerator capacity: cost per chip-hour and TCO across chip generations
  • Evaluate capacity offers and hardware commitments with the Compute deal team: pricing across chip types, counterparties, and structures
  • Partner with Capacity Planning and Hardware Engineering on the financial analysis influencing machine strategy
  • Own the hardware forecast: delivery volumes by chip over time, expenses, and cash flows
  • Build and manage the Machines finance team; set the operating cadence with central FP&A and Accounting
  • Serve as the accountable owner for machines FP&A into forecast and close cycles
  • Coordinate with Accounting, Treasury, and Infra FP&A on accounting treatment and forecast inputs
Minimum qualifications
  • Owned hardware, semiconductor, or hyperscaler capacity economics
  • Experience managing or mentoring finance talent
  • Strong analytical skills and the judgment to turn an ambiguous structure into a clear financial recommendation
  • Comfort partnering closely with engineering and commercial teams under deal-timeline pressure
  • Passion for Anthropic's mission to build safe, transformative AI systems
Preferred qualifications
  • 8+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, or capacity/infrastructure finance
  • Capacity planning or infrastructure finance experience at a hyperscaler or major chip maker
  • Experience standing up a new finance function
  • MBA, CFA, or equivalent

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.  Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses. In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day. If you're ever unsure about a communication, don't click any links—visit anthropic.com/careers directly for confirmed position openings.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.

Come work with us!

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
