Gas Supply and Transport Lead, US and Canada

Anthropic•San Francisco, CA

8d•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 gas delivery essential to operating the compute. This person will develop each site's fuel plan, contract gas supply and firm transportation, coordinate with project teams on interconnect and lateral schedules, and carry agreements through internal approval to signature. The role is the first dedicated owner of this function and works alongside teams responsible for site origination, behind-the-meter generation, front-of-meter power contracting, and portfolio scheduling. The position requires assessing deliverability and supply risk at prospective sites, negotiating supply and transportation arrangements, and aligning fuel contracts with power agreements and infrastructure plans. It also includes designing reliability measures for interruption-sensitive sites and coordinating with Energy Finance and scheduling teams on market exposure and operational handoffs.

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 operations, including 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 paths, and assess supply risk.
Knowledge of the process and schedule drivers for 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, applying independent commercial judgment while working effectively with counsel.
Ability to build and analyze a delivered cost of gas model.
Ability to communicate clearly about large commitments with people outside the energy field and coordinate across teams without direct reporting relationships.
Experience building a book, program, or function from zero and comfort working quickly with incomplete information.
Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience.
Relevant field of study 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 volume and ramp, hourly swing, pressure and gas quality, supply basin and hub, delivery path, firmness, and schedule.
Evaluate gas deliverability during site selection and diligence, including pipeline capacity, operating pressure, constraint and curtailment history, pipeline exposure, and timelines for new capacity; advise site origination on viable fuel paths.
Structure and negotiate gas supply agreements with producers, marketers, and midstream companies, taking agreements from term sheet through internal approval to signature in coordination with legal and outside 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 and sufficient for each site's fuel plan; flag gaps and align interconnect terms with supply and transportation agreements.
Coordinate with energy commercial leads to align fuel supply obligations, heat rate and fuel cost pass-through, force majeure, and curtailment terms in energy services and tolling agreements with the underlying gas agreements.
Design fuel reliability measures for sites where interruption would mean lost compute, including second pipeline feeds, storage, backup fuel, cold-weather performance, curtailment priority, and plans for 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.
