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.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Strategic Finance Lead
Align your credentials to Accountant classification
TN sponsorship for Strategic Finance Lead roles depends on the Accountant category, which requires a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related field. Gather transcripts and any CPA or CFA documentation before outreach begins.
Target companies with recurring FP&A hiring patterns
Search for employers that consistently post Strategic Finance, FP&A, or corporate planning roles. Repeated hiring in these functions signals an internal finance organization that understands TN-category sponsorship and won't treat your application as an edge case.
Use Migrate Mate to filter roles by TN eligibility
Not every Strategic Finance Lead posting comes from an employer familiar with TN sponsorship. Migrate Mate surfaces roles from employers with documented sponsorship history, so your search focuses on realistic opportunities rather than cold outreach to uninformed HR teams.
Prepare a support letter that maps duties to the Accountant definition
Your employer's support letter must connect specific job duties like budgeting, financial modeling, and variance analysis to the TN Accountant occupation definition. Generic offer letters are the leading cause of TN denials at the port of entry for finance roles.
Understand the Mexican TN consular process timeline
Mexican nationals apply for TN status at a U.S. consulate and face appointment wait times that vary by location and season. Build at least six to eight weeks into your start date negotiation to account for scheduling and document review at the consulate.

Find Strategic Finance Lead JobsStrategic Finance Lead TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Strategic Finance Lead role qualify for TN visa sponsorship?
Yes, Strategic Finance Lead positions typically qualify under the TN Accountant category when the role requires a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance and the core duties involve financial analysis, planning, or reporting. The job title alone does not determine eligibility; the actual duties and degree requirement documented in the offer must align with the Accountant occupation definition that USCIS and CBP apply.
How does TN visa sponsorship compare to H-1B for Strategic Finance Lead roles?
TN is generally faster and more predictable for this role than H-1B. There is no annual lottery for Canadians, no cap, and Canadian applicants can receive TN status at a port of entry the same day the employer's support letter and offer are ready. H-1B requires lottery selection, a petition filed months in advance, and an October 1 start date. For Strategic Finance Lead roles that fit the Accountant category, TN removes most of that uncertainty.
What documents does my employer need to prepare for my TN sponsorship?
Your employer needs to prepare a support letter on company letterhead that describes your specific job duties, confirms the position requires a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, states your salary and employment terms, and explains why the role fits the TN Accountant category. You provide your own degree transcripts and passport. Canadian applicants bring these documents to the border; Mexican nationals submit them as part of the consular application package.
Where can I find Strategic Finance Lead jobs that already support TN visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals searching for roles with TN visa sponsorship. Rather than filtering through postings where sponsorship is unconfirmed, Migrate Mate focuses on employers with documented sponsorship history, which is especially useful for Strategic Finance Lead roles where the Accountant TN category is not always understood by every recruiting team.
Can I switch employers on TN status if I accept a new Strategic Finance Lead offer?
Yes, but TN status is employer-specific. When you accept a new offer, your new employer must prepare a fresh support letter and you must obtain a new TN authorization before your first day with the new company. Canadian professionals can do this at a port of entry without advance USCIS filing. The process resets fully with each employer change, so plan your transition timeline around the documentation and, for Mexicans, consular appointment availability.
