Corporate Finance & Strategy, Public Benefit

Key responsibilities

• Serve as the primary finance partner to Public Benefit and Global Affairs leaders, working with program teams and partner functions on every financial aspect of their work.
• Lead annual planning, in-year forecasting, and multi-year planning across the giving and policy portfolio, translating strategy into clear priorities, tradeoffs, and resource-allocation decisions.
• Design and run stage-gated funding: tranche releases, graduation criteria, and tracking against them.
• Lead the financial planning of large or strategic commitments, such as grants, loans, foundation funding, and in-kind contributions, with Legal, Tax, Corp Development and Accounting, including how each structure is accounted for and put into practice.
• Bring funding recommendations and tradeoffs to executive leadership. Work with program leaders to define how outcomes are measured where revenue is not the yardstick.
• Set up spend categorization and reporting, including project codes, workflows, and external reporting, and build the processes and tools so reporting scales with the program.

Minimum qualifications

• Experience in FP&A or strategic finance, ideally at a high-growth company or foundation, with meaningful time supporting philanthropy, social impact, or policy work.
• Experience in grants, philanthropy, or impact-investing finance.
• Advanced financial modeling skills in spreadsheets, with experience building budgets, forecasts, and multi-year plans where few exist yet.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining complex financial concepts to program leaders, policy staff, external partners, and executives.
• Ability to push back constructively with data and clear reasoning.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action, including building processes while the work is still being defined.
• A commitment to Anthropic's mission to build safe, beneficial AI systems.

Preferred qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in FP&A or strategic finance.
• Experience building stage-gated or milestone-based funding frameworks.
• Fluency in ERP, procurement, or finance systems.

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.
