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

Anthropic is seeking a Senior Manager, Infrastructure Accounting to join our Infrastructure Accounting team. In this role, you will execute day-to-day accounting for a portion of Anthropic's infrastructure portfolio — the leased and owned assets underpinning our recently announced $50bn investment in American computing infrastructure. As we continue our rapid growth, you will help ensure the operational scalability and financial accuracy of the core functions that enable Anthropic's research and commercial success.

This is an opportunity to be at the heart of one of the fastest-scaling companies in the industry, and to shape how Anthropic's growing infrastructure portfolio is accounted for and understood across the business.

You will own end-to-end accounting for either Anthropic's lease portfolio or its capex and fixed asset portfolio, working closely with cross-functional partners across Data Center Operations, Real Estate, Finance, and Legal. You'll apply deep technical accounting expertise under ASC 842 (leases) and/or ASC 360 (fixed assets), and help build the processes, controls, and systems that let this function scale.
