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 making significant, sustained investment in compute infrastructure to support our AI safety mission. We are looking for an Infrastructure Tax Lead to own tax end-to-end across that portfolio — sitting at the point of deal flow, embedded with the Infrastructure team, and coordinating across Legal, Technical Accounting, FP&A, International Tax, Transfer Pricing, Provision, and Incentives.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as the embedded tax partner to Infrastructure team on deal intake: gather facts on site specs, counterparty structure, review and own commercial contracting for tax clauses; provide structure review and term-sheet input early enough to shape the deal
Work with regional tax teams to create and operationalize datacenter entity structures across jurisdictions: entity formation, operationalization with local teams, contemporaneous documentation, withholding on cross-border financing, permanent establishment risk
Partner with Incentives lead on state and local incentives, sales and use exemptions, property tax incentives, and site selection tax input; ensure incentive commitments and compliance obligations are reflected in the integrated tax position for each site
Coordinate with Infrastructure Accounting and tax accounting team on lease-versus-purchase treatment, consolidation questions, capitalization policy, and book-tax differences across a range of deal structures
Partner with transfer pricing on policy for the infrastructure footprint: intercompany compute pricing, benchmarking, and documentation that will withstand scrutiny as intercompany flows scale
Partner with the tax provision
