Accountant Jobs at Anthropic with Visa Sponsorship

About Anthropic

Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

About the role

We are seeking a Director, Revenue Accounting Operations - Program Management to build and lead a team focused on modernizing how Revenue Accounting operates at Anthropic. You'll own three interrelated mandates: scaling AI-driven workflows across the order-to-cash lifecycle, running the transformation PMO for Revenue Accounting, and leading NPI program management for product launches for Revenue Accounting. You'll sequence priorities across the Revenue Accounting org, serve as its external face in cross-functional forums, and drive programs from intake through delivery with a wide range of cross-functional stakeholders including Finance System, Internal Audit, GTM Systems, Billing Engineering, Product Operations and GTM.

This is a critical leadership role that will directly shape how Revenue Accounting scales alongside Anthropic's rapid growth.

Responsibilities

• Claudification Strategy and Execution: Define and drive the roadmap for applying Claude and AI-native workflows across Revenue Accounting and Order to Cash — identifying highest-leverage opportunities, partnering with FinSys on prototypes, and scaling what works into durable operational change. Enable the team to adopt and extend these workflows.

• Transformation PMO: Own the end-to-end portfolio of Revenue Accounting and Order to Cash transformation initiatives — intake, prioritization, resource allocation, project management, status reporting, and risk management.

• NPI Program Leadership: Lead a team of NPI Program Managers responsible for the financial coordination of every product launch — ensuring Revenue Accounting is engaged early with Product Ops, revenue recognition treatment and order management operationalization are locked before launch, UAT and system configuration are complete, and post-launch monitoring catches issues fast. Establish the intake, readiness, and escalation frameworks that make NPI predictable at scale.

• Internal Alignment: Serve as the forum where Revenue Accounting priorities get sequenced and trade-offs get made, ensuring the team speaks with one voice on what matters most.

• External Representation: Represent Revenue Accounting in cross-functional venues — SteerCos, planning cycles, program reviews, launch readiness reviews — and influence partners across cross-functional stakeholders to drive projects to completion.

• Cross-Functional Partnership: Build tight relationships and operating models with partner teams.

• Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, executive-ready updates on program health, launch readiness, risks, and trade-offs to finance leadership.

• Team Building: Hire, develop, and lead a team of transformation leads and program managers; establish the operating rhythms and frameworks that let the team scale.

You may be a good fit if you

• Have 12+ years of progressive experience spanning revenue accounting, finance transformation, and/or program leadership in high-growth technology environments.

• Have led large, multi-quarter cross-functional transformation programs with stakeholders across finance, engineering, and GTM.

• Have deep working knowledge of ASC 606 and the quote-to-cash lifecycle, with the credibility to engage substantively on technical revenue topics even if not personally drafting memos.

• Have experience leading or closely supporting NPI / product launch accounting, with a point of view on what "launch readiness" means from a Revenue Accounting lens.

• Are a strong operator — comfortable designing governance frameworks, running program intake, and establishing reporting rhythms that create visibility without creating overhead.

• Have a track record of influencing cross-functional partners without direct authority, and can translate between accounting, engineering, and GTM audiences.

• Are energized by applying AI to transform how work gets done, and have a point of view on where the highest-leverage opportunities are in finance and accounting.

• Have built and developed teams, and think carefully about role design, operating rhythms, and career growth.

• Thrive in ambiguity and have strong judgment on when to standardize versus iterate.

Strong candidates may have

• Experience preparing a finance organization for public company readiness, including SOX readiness and audit support.

• Background scaling NPI or product launch accounting at a high-growth software company.

• Hands-on experience with modern close automation, revenue recognition, order-to-cash, and billing platforms.

• CPA and/or Big 4 background.

• Prior experience at a company going through hypergrowth in a fast-paced environment.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.

The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
