Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
Anthropic is building the world’s most capable and safest AI — and our accounting team has a front-row seat to deploy it. We are seeking a visionary and strategic Head of AI & Innovation to lead the transformation of Anthropic’s accounting function through pioneering Claude AI deployment. In this role, you will set the strategic vision, build and coach a high-performing team, and partner with Finance, Engineering, and Anthropic’s own product and research teams to create a Claude-powered Finance ecosystem that serves as an industry-defining model for AI-enabled operations.
This is a rare opportunity to build at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and enterprise finance — not just adopting AI, but pioneering what Finance AI looks like at scale with unprecedented access to the teams that build the models. You will own the accounting AI program end-to-end: from roadmap to production deployment, from governance frameworks to community building, and from employee enablement to enterprise scale. The ideal candidate brings deep accounting and advisory experience and is a recognized thought leader in the industry — someone who shapes how the profession thinks about AI adoption, not just someone who follows it.
Key Responsibilities:
Vision & Strategic Leadership
Team Leadership & Development
Product Development & Roadmap
Data Foundation & Infrastructure
Enablement, Governance & Community

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
Your safety matters to us. To protect yourself from potential scams, remember that Anthropic recruiters only contact you from @anthropic.com email addresses.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
