Director, Infrastructure Supply Chain Accounting

Director, Infrastructure Supply Chain Accounting

About the role

Anthropic is seeking a Director, Infrastructure Supply Chain Accounting to lead accounting for the components and integrated systems flowing through Anthropic's compute stack — from chips and networking hardware through racks and data center buildouts — underpinning our $50B+ 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 fixed asset base is accounted for and understood across the business.

You will own end-to-end accounting and set the strategy for scaling the supply chain accounting function, working closely with cross-functional partners across Data Center Operations, Real Estate, Finance, and Legal. You'll apply deep technical accounting expertise under ASC 360 — combined with cost accounting judgment on components that behave like inventory — and build the processes, controls, and systems that let this function scale.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end accounting for the components flowing through Anthropic's compute stack — including cost accumulation, existence and obsolescence reserves, monthly close, reconciliations, roll-forwards, flux analysis, and transition to fixed asset status upon deployment

Apply technical accounting expertise under ASC 360 (capitalization, useful lives, impairment, disposals) and cost accounting, including standard vs. actual costing, variance analysis, bill-of-materials (BOM) cost accumulation, and landed cost

Partner with Real Estate, Legal, and Finance teams during contract negotiation and execution to ensure accounting implications are understood before commitments are made

Serve as a trusted finance partner to non-finance stakeholders — explaining the financial statement impact of their decisions in clear, simple terms they can act on

Collaborate cross-functionally to improve upstream data pipelines and component tracking — from purchase order through ship, receipt, build, and deployment — including serial-number-level tracking and existence controls for high-value components

Design and scale systems, processes, and controls to support a rapidly growing fixed asset portfolio

Lead and mentor a team of accounting professionals focused on your portfolio

Serve as a key point of contact with external auditors on fixed asset accounting matters

Drive process improvements and automation, including leveraging AI tooling, to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of financial reporting

You may be a good fit if you

Have 12+ years of progressive experience in accounting, with operational experience at technology, manufacturing, or infrastructure-heavy companies

Hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or equivalent preferred

Possess strong technical accounting knowledge of ASC 360 (capitalization, useful lives, impairment, disposals), plus applied experience with cost accounting concepts — BOM-based costing, standard vs. actual, obsolescence and NRV analysis — in a supply chain context

Have experience managing a significant fixed asset or component / inventory portfolio in a high-growth environment

Demonstrate strong analytical abilities and comfort working with large, complex datasets

Have a track record of improving scalable financial processes in fast-moving environments

Have experience leading and developing teams of accounting professionals

Are adept at translating technical accounting concepts into financial implications for non-finance stakeholders

Communicate clearly and influence effectively across cross-functional partners

Have experience partnering with engineering, infrastructure, operations, and supply chain teams to improve financial reporting and cost transparency

Strong candidates may have

Experience at semiconductor companies, hardware OEMs / ODMs, contract manufacturers, or hyperscalers with exposure to complex BOM-based assemblies and infrastructure asset structures

Experience with fixed asset subledger and component / inventory management systems at scale (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, SAP)

SQL proficiency for querying and analyzing large infrastructure and accounting datasets

Background in Big 4 accounting or advisory services combined with industry experience

Experience with complex data center buildouts or hybrid cloud / on-premise environments

Knowledge of AI/ML infrastructure and associated cost structures

Experience applying AI tooling (including Claude) to accounting processes, memo drafting, or close automation

Proven ability to navigate ambiguity and drive results in rapidly changing environments
