About The Position

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.

Built and developed teams, and think carefully about role design, operating rhythms, and career growth

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

Responsibilities

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Build tight relationships and operating models with partner teams.
Provide clear, executive-ready updates on program health, launch readiness, risks, and trade-offs to finance leadership.
Hire, develop, and lead a team of transformation leads and program managers; establish the operating rhythms and frameworks that let the team scale.
