Vendor Admin Lead

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

We are looking for a Vendor Admin Lead to own vendor master data for our global Finance Operations team. Reporting to the Director of Global Accounts Payable, you will be the single point of accountability for who our vendors are and get paid: onboarding, bank-detail verification, supporting documentation vetting, data quality and the controls around all of it. Anthropic's vendor base is growing quickly across the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific, and a clean, verified vendor data is what keeps a fast-growing company scale with the necessary controls.

What it asks for · 8

• 7+ years in vendor master or AP operations with 3+ years of ownership
• Owned a vendor master in an ERP end to end — process, controls and data — across multiple entities and countries
• Hands-on experience verifying bank details and preventing payment fraud: bank letters, independent callbacks, BEC red flags, international bank formats
• Experience with vendor tax documentation: W-9/W-8 validation, TIN matching, VAT/GST IDs, 1099 flagging
• Working knowledge of procure-to-pay controls — segregation of duties, maker-checker, change logs, audit evidence — and have performed or owned a SOX control
• Led a vendor data cleanup, consolidation or ERP migration and can show the outcome
• The confidence to hold the line with requesters, vendors and senior stakeholders under time pressure while staying clear and helpful
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills with large datasets (dedupe, lookups, reconciliations) and exceptional attention to detail
