Head of Consolidations & Intercompany

About the role

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. As we scale, our corporate structure and the flows between our entities are growing more complex. We are looking for a Head of Consolidations & Intercompany to own and expand the consolidation program and the group-level intercompany framework — partnering closely with the Head of Corporate Accounting on the strategic direction of this pillar.

This is a builder's role. You will come in, get your hands dirty, design the process, document the flows, and then codify and scale it — building out a team to run it consistently. You will be a player-coach first: doing the work, then writing the operating procedures and hiring against them.

Key responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• Scale Allocations framework - design and implement a scalable allocation model across the organization
• 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.
• Streamline intercompany operations. Rationalize pay-on-behalf-of and collect-on-behalf-of structures; redesign and automate the cost-allocation process.
• Partner with tax and treasury. Work with tax on transfer-pricing operationalization; co-own FX policy and operating procedures and partner with treasury to optimize payment flows and reduce FX exposure.
• Set the vision and build the team. Partner with the Head of Corporate Accounting on strategic direction for the pillar, and build out the consolidation and intercompany team to run efficiently and consistently.

Minimum qualifications

• Personal, end-to-end ownership of a multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation close in a system of record, at real entity scale.
• Demonstrated experience building a repeatable intercompany framework from scratch — not maintaining an inherited one.
• Track record of building structure where none existed; comfortable operating lean and resolving ambiguity into sources of truth.
• The seniority and confidence to own pillar-level direction, operate as a player-coach, and codify and hand off via SOP while hiring a team.

Preferred qualifications

• Workday Financial Consolidation experience, or strong ERP implementation and design experience transferable across platforms.
• Substantive partnership with tax on transfer pricing and with treasury on FX policy and payment-flow optimization.
• Experience through an acquisition-heavy period, integrating acquired entities into a group framework.
• System-specific Workday configuration (transferable from any major consolidation platform).
