Finance & Strategy, Compute (Central)

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

We are seeking a Strategic Finance Lead to own the consolidated financial view across Anthropic's compute infrastructure organization. Compute finance spans across accelerators, cloud spend, direct infrastructure, datacenters and data partnerships. This role sits at the center: owning the consolidation, the operating cadence, the cost allocation methodology, and the executive-facing narrative that ties them together.

What it asks for · 8

• Experience in FP&A, strategic finance, finance operations, consulting, or investment banking, preferably in a multi-business-unit or infrastructure-heavy environment
• Built or run a consolidation, allocation, or planning process across multiple finance owners
• Exceptional analytical skills and the ability to reconcile complex models into a single defensible view
• Strong process design and operating-cadence instincts
• Excellent written communication; comfortable producing board- and executive-level materials
• Comfort working cross-functionally and communicating complex financial information to non-finance audiences
• Bias towards action, strong work ethic, and experience driving outcomes under tight timelines
• Passion for Anthropic's mission to build safe, transformative AI systems

Also a plus

• 7+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, finance operations, consulting, or investment banking
• Experience with cost allocation / chargeback methodologies in a cloud or infrastructure context
• Background in AI, ML, cloud service provider economics, or large-scale computing infrastructure
• Proficiency with SQL, Python, and Excel
• Prior chief-of-staff, BizOps, or finance-systems experience in a high-growth environment
