The opportunity
We are hiring a Power Supply & PPA Lead to own front-of-meter energy supply for Anthropic's non-cloud data center portfolio: the power purchase agreements and the wholesale and retail supply contracts that serve our grid-connected sites. As those sites energize, their load needs…
What you'll do
Own the front-of-meter supply plan for the United States: for each grid-connected site and market, how much load to contract, from whom, for how long, at what price structure, and by when, set against the site's ramp and the portfolio view of energy need.
Take that plan to market. Build and keep relationships with generation: owners, developers, independent power producers, and retail and wholesale suppliers; run competitive solicitations and bilateral negotiations; and compare offers on a like-for-like basis.
Structure and negotiate PPAs, tolls, capacity agreements, and other long-term: supply agreements from term sheet to signature, with legal and outside counsel: price and shape, delivery point and basis, congestion and curtailment, commercial operation dates and delay remedies for new-build projects, credit support, change in law, assignment, and termination.
Make supply work under each market's rules: through retail providers and load-serving entities in competitive markets, and through utility tariffs, sleeved arrangements, and customer-sourced generation programs in regulated, cooperative, and public power territories. Work with the teammates who hold the utility relationship so the utility service agreement and the supply contract fit together.
Design the supply portfolio to deliver Anthropic's ratepayer-protection: commitment, and be able to show that it does: work with policy and outside analysts on how the effect on other customers is measured, and bring that test into deal selection and contract terms.
Collaborate with Energy Finance on deal valuation and the risk view behind: it: forward curves, shape and basis risk, capacity and ancillary costs, counterparty credit, and development risk.
What they're looking for
- Carry commitments through internal approval: write the deal memo, state the price, the exposure, and the alternatives plainly, and answer questions from executives who do not work in energy.
- After signature, track new-build counterparties to commercial operation,: manage amendments and disputes, and hand each contract to energy scheduling and portfolio in a form that can be operated.
- Support negotiation of utility service agreements and large-load tariff terms: for grid-connected sites, manage the interconnection and load-study process, and represent Anthropic in tariff proceedings and ISO/RTO rule changes alongside policy and industry coalitions.
- Have 10+ years in power origination, structuring, or energy procurement,: including PPAs or long-term supply contracts that you led from term sheet to signature.
