Senior Manager, Accounts Receivable, Credit & Collections

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. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.

Senior Manager, Accounts Receivable, Credit & Collections (Americas)

About the role

Anthropic is scaling rapidly, and so is our customer base. As our commercial business grows across the Americas, we need a senior leader to own credit and collections for the region. You will join our Invoice to Cash (I2C) team and be responsible for the end-to-end credit and collections lifecycle for Americas customers, from onboarding credit reviews through dispute resolution and cash recovery.

 

This is a senior people leadership role with meaningful strategic scope and a strong automation mandate. Anthropic expects its finance function to operate at the frontier of what AI and modern tooling make possible, and credit and collections is a natural place to lead from the front. You will manage a team of managers and analysts, set the credit and collections strategy for the region, and own the automation roadmap that lets us scale cash collection without linearly scaling headcount. You will partner closely with Sales, Legal, Deal Desk, and Customer Success leadership, and help shape the processes, policies, and systems that allow us to extend credit responsibly and collect efficiently at enterprise scale. You will report into the Accounts Receivable Lead and work alongside regional counterparts in EMEA and APAC to drive consistency in how we manage customer credit risk globally.

 

If you enjoy building operational rigor in a fast-moving environment, have a track record of scaling credit and collections functions through automation and AI, and care about doing right by customers while protecting the business, we would love to hear from you.

  Drive timely resolution of material customer disputes in partnership with Billing Operations, Cash Application, and Customer Success.

  Develop and refine credit and collections policies, playbooks, and escalation paths suited to a rapidly scaling enterprise SaaS business, with automation embedded by default rather than bolted on.

  Lead the Americas rollout and continued optimization of our AR automation platform, including workflow design, integrations with ERP and billing systems, and reporting.



• 
  

  Partner with Finance Systems and internal AI tooling teams to identify and deploy agentic and LLM-based solutions that reduce manual work and improve decision quality across the credit and collections lifecycle.



• 
  

  Deliver regular reporting and insights on receivables health, bad debt reserves, collections performance, and automation metrics to senior finance leadership.

• 
  

  Hands-on experience with ERP and AR systems (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle, SAP) and AR automation platforms (e.g., Tesorio, HighRadius, Billtrust), including shaping workflow and integration design rather than just using them.

  Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets for portfolio analysis, reporting, and ad hoc modeling.



• 
  

  Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to navigate sensitive customer and executive-level internal conversations diplomatically.

Preferred qualifications

• 
  

  10+ years of progressive experience in accounts receivable, credit, or collections, including significant time leading teams and managing people managers.



• 
  

  Hands-on experience deploying AI or LLM-based solutions in a finance or AR context, whether through vendor tooling, custom workflows, or agentic systems.

  Experience supporting a company through rapid scaling, including process build-out, systems implementation, and org design.

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.

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.
