About 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
Our Corporate Finance & Strategy team serves as a strategic partner to Anthropic's leadership, driving data-informed decisions that shape our company's future. We are seeking a professional for our Corporate Finance team to support Anthropic's financial planning and reporting capabilities. In this role, you will build and own Anthropic's balance sheet and cash flow forecast, providing leadership a reliable, driver-based view of free cash flow and liquidity.
You’ll own and scale Anthropic's balance sheet and cash flow forecast, taking what exists today and building it into a rigorous, driver-based model. You'll design its architecture and define a robust forecasting methodology and cadence that can scale with the complexity of the business. You'll partner closely with Finance & Strategy, Accounting, and Treasury to turn the forecast into a shared view of cash and liquidity that informs capital and investment decisions. This role offers a unique opportunity to build foundational financial reporting and forecasting processes at Anthropic, using Claude to define what workflows look like when AI is a core part of the toolkit.
Key responsibilities
- Own the balance sheet and cash flow forecast: design the model architecture, choose the tooling, and develop forecasting methodologies for cash-impacting items including working capital, capex, leases, debt and interest, equity and stock-based compensation, and cash taxes
- Partner with Finance & Strategy on the forecast inputs and hand-offs the model depends on, with Accounting to ensure the forecast maps to and reconciles with reported financials, and with Treasury to align the cash flow forecast with their direct cash view
- Deliver free cash flow reporting, a driver-based cash bridge, and scenarios and sensitivities on cash and liquidity that inform capital and investment decisions
- Integrate the balance sheet and cash flow into the forecast calendar and reporting package, and raise the bar over time by automating actuals loads, tie-outs, and process rigor
Minimum qualifications
- Have designed and built an integrated three-statement forecast, not just maintained one
- Have partnered closely with Accounting and Treasury to align forecasts with the close and cash processes
- Are highly proficient in Excel/Google Sheets, with expertise in modern financial planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive)
- Demonstrate excellent communication and storytelling abilities
- Thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and can navigate ambiguity with confidence
- Possess strong collaboration skills and can build effective partnerships across functions and levels
- Are passionate about Anthropic's mission to build safe, beneficial AI systems
Preferred qualifications
- Have 5+ years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, controllership, or a mix, with hands-on ownership of balance sheet and cash flow forecasting at a company of meaningful scale
- A CPA, or a Big 4 audit / technical accounting background before moving into finance
- Experience operating within public-company reporting and SOX control environments
- Experience with capital-intensive businesses (large compute, infrastructure, or lease portfolios) where financing structures materially drive cash
- SQL or scripting skills and a track record of automating actuals loads and tie-outs

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.

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.
