The opportunity
We are hiring a Gas Supply & Transport Lead to own natural gas supply for Anthropic's non-cloud data center portfolio in the United States and Canada. Some of our campuses will run on gas-fired, behind-the-meter generation.
What you'll do
Own the fuel plan for each gas-fired site in the United States and Canada:: volume and ramp, hourly swing, pressure and gas quality, supply basin and hub, the path from receipt point to plant, how firm each piece must be, and by when, set against the generation design and the site's schedule.
Test gas deliverability early in site selection and diligence: available and expandable pipeline capacity, operating pressure, constraint and curtailment history, single-pipeline exposure, and realistic timelines for new capacity. Tell site origination which sites have a real fuel path and which do not.
Structure and negotiate gas supply agreements with producers, marketers, and: midstream companies, from term sheet through internal approval to signature, with legal and outside counsel: index and basis, volume flexibility, delivery point, firmness and force majeure, credit support, and term.
Secure transportation and storage: firm service on interstate, intrastate, and Canadian pipelines, open seasons and precedent agreements for expansions, capacity release, balancing and no-notice services, storage, and local distribution service where that is the only path.
Work with our project and power delivery teams, who own building the delivery: infrastructure, to make sure the plans and schedules for taps, meter stations, laterals, compression, and pressure regulation are sufficient and viable for each site's fuel plan. Flag gaps early, and line up the interconnect terms with the supply and transportation agreements.
Make the fuel contracts and the power contracts fit. Work with the energy: commercial leads so that fuel supply obligations, heat rate and fuel cost pass-through, force majeure, and curtailment terms in energy services and tolling agreements line up with the gas agreements behind them.
What they're looking for
- Design for fuel reliability at sites where an interruption means lost: compute: second pipeline feeds, storage, backup fuel, cold-weather performance, and curtailment priority, with a plan for critical days and operational flow orders.
- Collaborate with Energy Finance on price and basis exposure, and with energy: scheduling and portfolio on operations. Financial hedging sits with Finance, and nominations and balancing sit with scheduling. You supply the physical position and the market view, and hand over contracts in a form that can be operated.
