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. 

In this role, you will be a key partner to our hardware infrastructure teams, providing financial expertise and guidance to drive hardware decisions. You will own the near and long-term forecasts for hardware, support deal teams, and our engineering teams on hardware ROI decisions.

 

Machines Capacity Economics & Investment

• 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

 

Machines FP&A & Team Leadership

• 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

 

You may be a good fit if you have:

• 8+ years in strategic finance, FP&A, or capacity/infrastructure finance
• 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
