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
Anthropic is seeking a Head of FX & Risk to join our Treasury team. In this foundational role, you will design and implement our financial risk management program from the ground up – quantifying exposures, setting risk tolerance thresholds, and executing on strategy – while building the frameworks that govern our long-term risk management objectives.
This is a rare opportunity to shape critical Treasury functions at a high-growth AI company. You will own FX, interest rate, commodity, and counterparty risk end-to-end. You will protect earnings and cash from volatility so the company can plan with confidence. This role reports directly to the Treasurer and partners closely with Finance leadership, Accounting, Legal, and cross-functional teams to align Treasury operations with broader financial strategies and business objectives.
Key responsibilities
- Build an integrated financial risk management framework spanning FX, commodity, rates, and counterparty risk
- Design, implement, and execute Anthropic's FX program, including exposure quantification, risk tolerance thresholds, policy development, and instrument selection
- Establish a commodity exposure strategy to support our growing compute portfolio
- Manage interest rate risk across the investment portfolio and any debt
- Design and operationalize a counterparty risk framework with documented limits and regular monitoring across a growing bank and asset manager footprint
- Run scenario planning and stress testing to understand how exposures evolve as the business scales
- Develop Treasury policies and controls, and deliver integrated financial risk reporting to the CFO
Minimum qualifications
- Deep expertise in FX hedging program design and execution, developed in Treasury or financial risk management
- A track record of implementing an FX hedging program, not just operating within an established one
- Strong command of derivative instruments — forwards, options, and swaps — and hedge accounting considerations
- Experience with commodity or energy hedging and interest rate risk management
- Experience designing counterparty risk frameworks and Treasury policies and controls
Preferred qualifications
- 8+ years of relevant experience in Treasury or financial risk management
- Experience implementing an FX hedging program at a multinational technology company
- Experience supporting multi-entity, multi-currency billing rollouts
- Exposure to energy or compute-adjacent commodity risk, such as power markets and PPAs
- Experience implementing a Treasury risk management system

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.

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.
