Senior Analyst, Travel & Expense

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

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.

• 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)
• Sound judgment and discretion with sensitive information, and the ability to work credibly with senior executives and their support teams
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain a control or an exception to Finance leaders, auditors, and employees
• Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency environments, including per diem rules, VAT reclaim, and cross-border tax considerations
