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.

• 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

• 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
