About the role
Anthropic is seeking a Director, Revenue Controls to be the Accounting owner of the control environment over our order-to-cash cycle. Revenue at Anthropic includes subscription and consumption, self-serve and enterprise motions, 1P and 3P channels, and a metering pipeline that feeds billing and revenue recognition.
You will report to the Revenue Controller and partner closely with Accounting, Systems, and Internal Audit stakeholders as we build toward SOX 404 compliance. You will be expected to understand the systems and processes impacting revenue and own/influence the design and implementation of sufficient internal controls, including obtaining relevant SOC reports from service-providers, as well as be the face of the revenue team with external auditors.
This is not a greenfield solo build. You will be joining an established Revenue team with functional leads across order management, collections, and revenue accounting, alongside dedicated engineering and systems partners. Your job is to bring senior judgment, sequencing, and control discipline to a group that is already moving fast - leading through a team and across functions rather than doing it all yourself.
Key responsibilities
• Serve as the accountable first-line control owner for order-to-cash and revenue business process controls, including control design, documentation, execution, and related evidence
• Maintain the order-to-cash process narratives, SOPs, and process maps as the institutional standard, and keep them accurate through system and business changes
• Partner with functional leads across Billing, AR & Collections, Deal Desk, and Revenue Accounting to keep process definitions current and consistently executed
• Design and influence the implementation of controls over usage capture and rating, contract-to-billing accuracy, invoice completeness, cash application, credit and adjustment approvals
• Own the identification and control treatment of key reports and Information Produced by the Entity (IPE) within the revenue cycle, including completeness and accuracy validation for reports used in controls and in the close
• Partner with Revenue Technology and Internal Audit on IT-dependent and automated controls in the revenue stack - including interface and reconciliation controls, configuration change governance. Embed control requirements into new system implementations and process changes at design time
• Partner with third-party service providers to understand their processes, identify relevant risks, and secure commitment for relevant SOC 1 reports
• Work with the Internal Audit on scoping, walkthroughs,
