About the role

Anthropic is seeking a Manager, Infrastructure Capex Accounting to join our Infrastructure Accounting team. In this role, you will execute day-to-day accounting for Anthropic's owned infrastructure assets - the GPUs, networking equipment, and data center buildouts 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 fixed asset base is accounted for and understood across the business.

You will own end-to-end accounting for Anthropic's capex and fixed asset portfolio, working closely with cross-functional partners across Data Center Operations, Finance, and Legal. You'll apply deep technical accounting expertise under ASC 360, and help build the processes, controls, and systems that let this function scale.
Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end accounting for Anthropic's AI infrastructure capex and fixed asset portfolio, including monthly close, construction-in-progress (CIP) tracking, reconciliations, roll-forwards, and flux analysis
• Apply technical accounting expertise to complex infrastructure arrangements under ASC 360 (capitalization, useful lives, impairment, disposals, and asset retirement obligations)
• Partner with Data Center Operations, 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 the quality of upstream data pipelines from operational and contract systems, particularly around asset receipt, deployment, and in-service dates
• Help design and scale systems, processes, and controls to support a rapidly growing fixed asset portfolio
• Collaborate with and mentor junior accounting professionals across the Infrastructure Accounting team
• Serve as a key point of contact with external auditors on fixed asset and capex 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 7+ years of progressive experience in accounting, with operational experience at technology 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, particularly as applied to infrastructure, data center, or compute-related assets
• Have hands-on experience with a significant fixed asset 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 mentoring junior 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, or operations teams to improve financial reporting and cost transparency

Strong candidates may have

• Experience at hyperscalers, large compute consumers, or data center operators with exposure to infrastructure asset structures (including GPU clusters, networking equipment, and data center buildouts)
• Experience with fixed asset subledger systems at scale
• 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
