About the role
- As a Senior Analyst, Travel & Expense, you will run the day-to-day financial controls, audit program, and executive reporting behind Anthropic's T&E function.
- T&E touches every employee, every legal entity, and every executive, and it runs on Navan, Brex, and negotiated supplier agreements.
- Spend and transaction volume have grown several-fold in the past six quarters, and the controls need to scale to meet a public-company standard.
Responsibilities
- Own the day-to-day operation of key T&E controls, including approvals, card issuance and spend limits, segregation of duties, and policy exceptions, within the control framework set by the Head of T&E, who owns the overall T&E process
- Maintain the T&E process narratives and risk and control matrix, and keep them current as systems and policies change
- Ensure correct GL coding and complete, accurate month-end reconciliations across Navan, Brex, and Workday, and support close, flux analysis, and accruals
- Act as the preparer for T&E controls and the day-to-day contact for internal and external auditors: gather and retain evidence, support walkthroughs and sample requests, and track remediation, escalating significant issues to the Head of T&E
- Set up and maintain entity-level coding and approval flows in Brex and Navan as new legal entities and countries come online
- Partner with Tax, Payroll, and Global Mobility to ensure compliance
- Support accurate intercompany treatment of T&E costs across entities
- Help design, build, and run a risk-based audit program covering sampling, anomaly detection, misuse escalation, and remediation tracking
- Build dashboards and reporting on policy compliance, exceptions, and control performance for Finance leadership
- Partner with the Head of T&E to deploy Claude to review transactions, flag policy exceptions, and automate recurring reporting
Requirements
- Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
Nice to have
- 7+ years of experience in travel and expense, corporate accounting, internal audit, or finance operations, ideally at a high-growth technology company
- Hands-on SOX or internal-controls experience: writing process narratives, testing or operating key controls, and working with external auditors
- Deep platform expertise in Navan and/or comparable TMC platforms, plus Brex or equivalent expense management tools, and working knowledge of ERP integrations (Workday preferred)
- Strong analytical skills: comfort with large transaction datasets, sampling methods, and anomaly detection
- An AI-curious, builder mindset: experience automating finance workflows with AI tools, or real enthusiasm for doing so, and comfort creating structure where none exists
Skills
- Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain a control or an exception to Finance leaders, auditors, and employees
- CPA, CIA, or equivalent certification
- Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency environments, including per diem rules, VAT reclaim, and cross-border tax considerations
- Experience with pre-IPO or newly public company readiness
- M&A integration experience a huge plus
- comfort with large transaction datasets, sampling methods, and anomaly detection
- Annual Salary:
- $190,000 - $230,000 USD
- Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
- Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience
