Head of FX & Risk

About the role

Anthropic is seeking a Head of FX & Risk to join our Treasury team.

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.

• 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

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.

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.
