We are seeking a Finance & Strategy partner focused on Public Benefit and Public Policy, working closely with our Global Affairs and Public Benefit teams. You will be the finance lead for how Anthropic plans, funds, and reports its giving and policy work: a category of spend that spans grants, philanthropy, direct programs, and policy engagement around the world. Anthropic is setting the standard for what a public benefit corporation can be at a scale no one has attempted before.

What it asks for · 7

Experience in FP&A or strategic finance, ideally at a high-growth company or foundation, with meaningful time supporting philanthropy, social impact, or policy work
Experience in grants, philanthropy, or impact-investing finance
Advanced financial modeling skills in spreadsheets, with experience building budgets, forecasts, and multi-year plans where few exist yet
Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining complex financial concepts to program leaders, policy staff, external partners, and executives
Ability to push back constructively with data and clear reasoning
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action, including building processes while the work is still being defined
A commitment to Anthropic's mission to build safe, beneficial AI systems

Also a plus

10+ years of experience in FP&A or strategic finance,
Experience building stage-gated or milestone-based funding frameworks
Fluency in ERP, procurement, or finance systems

What the job covers

Serve as the primary finance partner to Public Benefit and Global Affairs leaders, working with program teams and partner functions on every financial aspect of their work
Lead annual planning, in-year forecasting, and multi-year planning across the giving and policy portfolio, translating strategy into clear priorities, tradeoffs, and resource-allocation decisions
Design and run stage-gated funding: tranche releases, graduation criteria, and tracking against them
Lead the financial planning of large or strategic commitments, such as grants, loans, foundation funding, and in-kind contributions, with Legal, Tax, Corp Development and Accounting, including how each structure is accounted for and put into practice
Bring funding recommendations and tradeoffs to executive leadership.
Work with program leaders to define how outcomes are measured where revenue is not the yardstick.
Set up spend categorization and reporting, including project codes, workflows, and external reporting, and build the processes and tools so reporting scales with the program
