Head of Consolidations & Intercompany

Anthropic Anthropic · AI Frontier · San Francisco, CA · Finance

This role is for a Head of Consolidations & Intercompany at Anthropic, an AI safety and research company. The position involves owning and expanding the consolidation program and intercompany framework, designing processes, documenting flows, and building a team. It requires personal, end-to-end ownership of multi-entity consolidations and building an intercompany framework from scratch. The role is described as a 'builder's role' and a 'player-coach'.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the consolidation program. Design and run the multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation process in our system of record (Workday), driving a repeatable, scalable close.
  2. Expand the intercompany framework. Architect a group-level intercompany framework — elimination logic, transaction-flow documentation, and sources of truth — designed to absorb new entities and acquisitions.
  3. Scale Allocations framework - design and implement a scalable allocation model across the organization
  4. Advise and consult on corporate structure. Partner with the business, tax, and legal on org structures and transaction flows; advise on optimal structuring that serves close and reporting needs, and bring clarity where ambiguity exists through flow diagrams and a single source of truth.
  5. Streamline intercompany operations. Rationalize pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of structures; redesign and automate the cost-allocation process.
