Anthropic Strategic Finance Lead at Anthropic owns the consolidated financial view across compute infrastructure and manages reporting, operating cadence, and cost allocation. The role partners with Corporate FP&A, Accounting, and Finance Systems to ensure integration and reconciliation of compute financials.

Responsibilities

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.
Consolidation & Reporting
Own consolidation and workback of the financial review cadences across all compute finance pillars into a single narrative for finance and compute leadership
Manage the compute finance contribution to board materials and executive reviews
Own and maintain team dashboards, recurring content, and reporting infrastructure — keeping them live, accurate, and reconciled
Drive integration of financial models across the compute finance team into a coherent, full three-statement view
Operating Rhythm & Systems
Own the calendar and cadence between Compute Finance and Corporate FP&A — close, forecast, budget, and long-range plan handoffs
Run team operating rhythm: meeting agendas, sprint cadence, recurring deliverable tracking, and cross-pillar coordination
Own compute finance's planning-system footprint — datasets, sources of truth, and pipeline into corporate systems
Drive model hygiene, version control, and central organization of team financial models
