Head of Compute Supply Chain

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. Head of Compute Supply Chain [San Francisco / remote-friendly US] Anthropic's compute depends on supply chains that can't keep up with demand. Foundry capacity, memory, processors and networking are allocated to the customers suppliers consider strategic, and so are the transformers, chillers and turbines that power and cool our data centers. We are hiring a Head of Compute Supply Chain to own how Anthropic secures that supply. You will oversee sourcing across semiconductors and IT hardware, data center equipment, and energy equipment. You will hold our executive supplier relationships, and identify gaps before they bite us. A very small team brought this function from zero to hyperscale in a matter of months. Your job is to grow it into a high-performing, talent-dense organization while solving supply challenges the industry has never seen before. Responsibilities Own sourcing strategy across semiconductors and hardware, data center equipment, and energy equipment. Build the organization: develop the category leads and set how the teams operate as they grow. Secure supply ahead of demand through capacity reservations, wafer commitments and long-term agreements, working with the rest of the Compute team as well as domain experts in Finance and Legal. Hold executive relationships with hardware suppliers and power and infrastructure OEMs. Own supply risk, including single-source exposure, geography, tariffs and export controls. Identify supply gaps before they impact the business. We may have a good fit if you have 15+ years in strategic sourcing or supply chain for semiconductors, hardware, or datacenter infrastructure, and have led a function rather than a single category. Have built a sourcing organization through rapid growth, including managers who lead teams. Have negotiated capacity or long-term supply agreements at multibillion-dollar scale with executive counterparts. Have deep experience in either semiconductor supply (foundry, memory or hardware) or data center and power infrastructure equipment, and the judgment to lead the other. Can make hard allocation calls and explain the trade-offs to executives. Have strong written communication and executive presence. Strong candidates may also have Built a sourcing function from scratch. Sourced for other kinds of hardware, such as robotics or manufacturing equipment. Sourced across the US, Europe and Asia, including for an international data center portfolio. Annual Compensation The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

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.
