About Anthropic

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.

About the Role

We are looking for an Accounts Receivable Specialist to join our Invoice to Cash (I2C) team within Revenue Accounting.

Anthropic is growing quickly, and our I2C function is scaling with it.

• Maintain accurate, detailed notes of all customer interactions, commitments, and dispute status in our ERP and in Tesorio

• Support cash application research, payment discrepancy resolution, and account reconciliations as needed
• Contribute to month end close activities, including aging analysis and collection forecasts
• Share learnings and best practices across the I2C team, and bring forward recommendations to improve our processes, controls, and automation tooling
• Partner with Finance Systems and I2C leadership on testing, rollout, and adoption of new collections tools and workflow enhancements

• Have a track record of meeting or exceeding collections KPIs such as cash targets, DSO, aging, and CSAT
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage customers professionally across email, phone, and video
• Are comfortable navigating cross functional stakeholders to drive dispute resolution with appropriate urgency
• Have experience with ERP platforms (for example NetSuite, Workday, or similar)
• Are proficient in Excel or Google Sheets, including pivot tables and lookups

How We're Different

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.
