> The Tokyo-based role spans site selection, leasing, energy, financing, government relations, construction and operations, with functional specialists managed from San Francisco.

Anthropic is hiring a Tokyo-based Compute Country Lead, Japan, to coordinate Japan’s compute strategy with a remit to scale from initial sites to multiple gigawatts.

The role covers site selection and leasing, energy, financing, government relations, construction and operations. Functional specialists would be hired and managed by teams in San Francisco, while the Japan lead coordinates the work and represents Anthropic with Japanese government officials, utilities and energy providers.

The position calls for a background in energy, infrastructure or a related field. Anthropic strongly prefers a Japanese national with existing ties to the government and energy industries. One gigawatt equals 1,000 megawatts.

The role’s multi-gigawatt remit names no specific site or partner and does not confirm a construction project. Anthropic opened its Tokyo office in October 2025 as its first in Asia-Pacific.
