Get Access To All JobsAbout Anthropic
Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. 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 Lead to own the operating P&L for Anthropic's datacenter infrastructure partnerships. This role will be the finance owner for every site covering lease, power and operations.
In this role, you will be a key partner to our infrastructure teams, providing financial expertise and guidance to keep our sites on budget, drive operating costs down, and de-risk our largest infrastructure exposures. You will own the near-term forecast for datacenter spend, run budget-vs-actual on projects, and serve as the primary finance counterpart to our datacenter operating partners.
Responsibilities:
Datacenter Financial Planning & Analysis
- Own FP&A for all live-site datacenter operating costs including lease/rent, power, hardware ops, facility/DC ops, physical security, warehousing, and operator fees
- Build and maintain per-site cost forecasts; refresh on a cadence that supports monthly reviews and board reporting
- Run budget-vs-actual on datacenter developer spend and site build budgets, tracking expected eventual spend against approved commitments
- Own the in-year power cost model across pass-through and direct costs
- Reconcile operating partner invoices to forecast and lead the finance operating cadence with datacenter partners
- Partner with Accounting on contract operationalization, lease accounting, and close
Strategic Projects
- Lead financial analysis for site-level optimization initiatives and operating model decisions
- Handle operational finance asks tied to datacenter partners and live sites
- Partner with the Datacenter Expansion lead on deal-to-operations handoffs, ensuring budgets set at signing are operationalized at commissioning
You may be a good fit if you have:
- 7+ years of experience in strategic finance, infrastructure investment, FP&A, private equity, consulting, or investment banking, preferably with datacenter, energy, real estate, telco, or managed-services infrastructure experience
- Owned an infrastructure operating P&L and driven cost-out programs against it
- Exceptional analytical skills with an ability to synthesize data into compelling insights and develop complex financial operating models
- Comfort being the finance person in the partner/vendor room and partnering with technical operating teams
- A bias towards action, strong work ethic, and experience driving operational outcomes under tight timelines
- Strong relationship building, business judgment, process management, and communication skills
- Passion for Anthropic's mission to build safe, transformative AI systems
Strong candidates may also have:
- Direct experience with datacenter, colocation, or power (PPA / energy procurement) economics and contract structures
- Experience managing finance cadence with a third-party operator or managed-services provider
- Background in AI, ML, or high-performance, large-scale computing infrastructure
- Proficiency with financial modeling tools and languages (SQL, Python, Excel)
- MBA or other advanced degree in finance, economics, or business
The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
Annual Salary:
$235,000 - $310,000 USD
Logistics
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
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.

Frame Your Experience Around AI Strategy
Anthropic hires strategy professionals who can think rigorously about frontier AI development, not just general corporate planning. Tailor your resume and portfolio to show experience with technology strategy, research commercialization, or policy in science-intensive industries.
Target Roles That Align With Your Visa Type
If you hold an E-3 or H-1B1, confirm the specific Strategy role requires a specialized degree field before applying. Anthropic files across multiple visa categories, so identifying which classification fits your background sharpens your approach before the offer stage.
Research Anthropic's Strategic Priorities Before Interviews
Anthropic's strategy function is deeply tied to responsible AI deployment and safety research. Demonstrating fluency in their published research agenda and policy positions signals you can operate in a science-led environment, which hiring managers weight heavily for Strategy roles.
Prepare Your Specialty Occupation Documentation Early
USCIS scrutinizes H-1B petitions for Strategy roles more closely than for technical positions. Gather evidence that your specific role requires a relevant bachelor's degree or higher, including job descriptions, your degree transcripts, and any credential evaluations for non-U.S. qualifications.
Use Migrate Mate to Find Open Strategy Roles at Anthropic
Anthropic posts Strategy openings across multiple job boards, making it hard to track which roles actively support visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate filters verified sponsoring employers so you can surface current Anthropic Strategy listings without manually screening each posting.
Align Your Start Date With H-1B Cap Timing
If you need a cap-subject H-1B, USCIS accepts petitions in April for an October 1 start date. Coordinate your offer and negotiations with Anthropic's recruiting team early enough that your petition can be filed in the relevant registration window without delaying your start.

Find Strategy at Anthropic JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Anthropic sponsor H-1B visas for Strategys?
Yes, Anthropic sponsors H-1B visas for Strategy roles. The company has a consistent record of filing H-1B petitions across corporate functions, including strategy and business operations. If you're in the H-1B lottery pool or need a transfer from an existing H-1B, Anthropic's recruiting team handles sponsorship through the standard USCIS petition process.
Which visa types does Anthropic sponsor for Strategy roles?
Anthropic sponsors H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visas for Strategy positions. H-1B is available to most nationalities, while H-1B1 is reserved for Chilean and Singaporean nationals and E-3 for Australian citizens. All three require the role to qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS guidelines, which Strategy roles at a research-intensive company like Anthropic typically satisfy.
What qualifications does Anthropic expect for Strategy roles?
Anthropic generally looks for candidates with a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field such as economics, business, public policy, or a technical discipline. For senior Strategy roles, prior experience in management consulting, venture capital, or technology policy is common. Roles tied to AI safety or research strategy may also value familiarity with machine learning research environments.
How do I apply for Strategy jobs at Anthropic?
Applications go through Anthropic's careers page, where Strategy roles are listed under business and operations functions. You can also browse verified sponsoring employers and filter for open Anthropic Strategy positions on Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles confirmed to support visa sponsorship. Tailor your application to highlight experience relevant to AI-driven industries rather than general strategic planning.
How do I manage the timeline between an offer and my visa filing?
Once Anthropic extends an offer, your employer typically initiates the H-1B or E-3 petition process, which includes filing a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before USCIS receives the I-129 petition. For cap-subject H-1B cases, registration opens in March and work authorization begins October 1 at the earliest, so build that gap into your start date discussions with the hiring team.
