Director, Global Accounts Payable

12+ years of accounts payable experience at a high-growth technology company, including 5+ years in a leadership role owning end-to-end AP operations

Demonstrated experience leading AP through a major ERP migration (NetSuite to Workday, SAP, Oracle, or equivalent)—including data migration, UAT, cutover, and stabilization

Track record of designing and documenting SOX-compliant AP internal controls in a pre-IPO or public company environment, with direct exposure to external auditor walkthroughs

Proven ability to reduce late payments and improve AP cycle times through process redesign, automation, and root cause analysis—with specific, quantified outcomes

Multi-entity, multi-currency AP experience across US and international jurisdictions, including VAT/GST compliance and cross-border payment operations

Strong cross-functional instincts: proven ability to partner across Procurement, Treasury, Corporate Accounting, Tax, Legal, and Finance Systems teams

As Director, Accounts Payable, you will oversee end-to-end global AP operations at Anthropic: vendor inquiries, invoice processing, vendor payment execution, vendor master data management, month-end close deliverables, and AP internal controls.

You will report to the Head of Finance Operations and lead a lean team, with a mandate to transform AP from a high-performing operations function into a strategic, SOX-ready, AI-native pillar of Finance.

This role requires a builder who can stabilize a post-migration ERP environment, architect controls from scratch, and drive improvements to key metrics—all while championing Claude-powered automation consistent with Anthropic’s AI-first culture.
