Gas Supply and Transport Lead, US and Canada

Anthropic•San Francisco, NY

7d•Hybrid

About The Position

Anthropic is hiring a Gas Supply and Transport Lead to own natural gas supply for its non-cloud data center portfolio in the United States and Canada. Some campuses will use gas-fired, behind-the-meter generation, making reliable delivery of gas at the required volumes and pressure essential to keeping compute running. The Lead will set the fuel plan for each site, contract for supply and firm transportation, coordinate with project teams on delivery infrastructure and schedules, and carry agreements through internal approval to signature. This is the first dedicated owner of this function. The role works alongside teams responsible for site origination and behind-the-meter generation, front-of-meter power contracting, project and power delivery, energy commercial activities, finance, scheduling, and portfolio operations. It requires assessing fuel deliverability, negotiating commercial agreements, aligning gas and power contract terms, and designing for reliability at sites where interruptions could result in lost compute.

Requirements

At least 8 years of experience in natural gas midstream, pipeline commercial work, gas marketing and origination, or fuel procurement for power generation, including leading firm transportation or long-term supply deals from term sheet to signature.
Experience buying gas and capacity for gas-fired generation or another large load, or selling to those buyers with knowledge of their commercial needs.
Commercial knowledge of pipeline rate schedules, nomination cycles, imbalance and penalty provisions, operational flow orders, capacity release, and differences among interstate, intrastate, and Canadian regimes.
Knowledge of major producing basins and trading hubs in the United States and Western Canada sufficient to price basis, compare delivery paths, and assess supply risk.
Knowledge of the process and schedule drivers for obtaining a pipeline interconnect, meter station, or lateral from initial request through in-service.
Ability to read and mark up a base contract, precedent agreement, and firm transportation service agreement, using counsel while retaining commercial judgment.
Ability to build and assess a delivered cost of gas model.
Ability to communicate plainly about large commitments to people outside the energy field and coordinate across teams without direct reporting relationships.
Experience building a book, program, or function from zero and comfort moving quickly with incomplete information.
Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
A field of study relevant to the role, demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience.

Nice To Haves

Experience supplying behind-the-meter, islanded, or peaking generation where takes are not ratable and hourly flexibility matters.
Commercial experience in both the United States and Canada.
Experience on the pipeline side of an expansion or greenfield lateral, including required federal, state, or provincial approvals.
Experience with trucked LNG or CNG, on-site storage, or other bridging and backup fuel arrangements.
Experience on or alongside a physical gas trading or scheduling desk.
Experience with certified low-methane gas, renewable natural gas, or emissions accounting for fuel supply.

Responsibilities

Own the fuel plan for each gas-fired site in the United States and Canada, including volumes and ramp, hourly swing, pressure and gas quality, supply basin and hub, delivery path, firmness requirements, and schedule.
Evaluate gas deliverability during site selection and diligence, including pipeline capacity, pressure, constraints, curtailment history, single-pipeline exposure, and timelines for new capacity; advise site origination whether a viable fuel path exists.
Structure and negotiate gas supply agreements with producers, marketers, and midstream companies from term sheet through internal approval and signature, working with legal counsel.
Secure transportation and storage, including firm service on interstate, intrastate, and Canadian pipelines; expansion agreements; capacity release; balancing and no-notice services; storage; and local distribution service where needed.
Coordinate with project and power delivery teams to ensure plans and schedules for taps, meter stations, laterals, compression, and pressure regulation are viable for each site's fuel plan; flag gaps and align interconnect terms with supply and transportation agreements.
Align fuel contracts with power contracts by coordinating fuel obligations, heat-rate and fuel-cost pass-through, force majeure, and curtailment terms in energy services and tolling agreements.
Design fuel reliability plans for sites where interruptions could cause lost compute, considering second pipeline feeds, storage, backup fuel, cold-weather performance, curtailment priority, critical days, and operational flow orders.
Collaborate with Energy Finance on price and basis exposure and with energy scheduling and portfolio teams on operations; provide the physical position and market view and hand over operable contracts.
