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
  • Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position
  • However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Compensation
