Head of Compute Supply Chain

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

You will oversee sourcing across semiconductors and IT hardware, data center equipment, and energy equipment.

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.

You may be 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.

The annual compensation range for this role is $1-$2 USD.
