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 quickly growing and is committed to building beneficial AI systems.
About the role We are seeking an experienced Senior Business Systems Analyst to join our Finance Systems team. In this role, you will serve as the internal functional lead for our Workday Financials implementation, owning the design and configuration of the Financial Data Model (FDM), Chart of Accounts, and dimensional structures that will serve as the source of truth for financial reporting. You will develop Prism Analytics and Accounting Center solutions, gather requirements and build reporting capabilities, and collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams to drive the successful adoption of our new ERP platform.
This is a critical role that will directly shape how Anthropic's finance organization operates as we scale toward public‑company readiness. You will work at the intersection of finance domain expertise and technical implementation, partnering with the implementation partner, engineering teams, and finance stakeholders to build a world‑class financial systems foundation.
In this role, you will:
Serve as internal functional lead for Workday Financials implementation, partnering with consultants to drive configuration decisions, validate designs, and ensure business requirements are met.
Own the design and configuration of the Chart of Accounts, Worktags, dimensional hierarchies, and Accounting Books that will serve as the source of truth for all financial reporting, ensuring support for both GAAP and Management reporting requirements.
Develop and maintain Prism/Accounting Center solutions from source analysis and ingestion design through build, testing, cutover, and hypercare, including integration with external data sources like BigQuery and Pigment.
Gather business requirements from Finance, Accounting, and FP&A stakeholders and translate them into hands‑on development of executive reporting, dashboards, and analytics solutions.
Participate in implementation workshops, challenge requirements, and translate business needs into buildable designs and testable acceptance criteria; manage defects and data quality issues throughout the project lifecycle.
Collaborate with Integrations, Security, and Financials configuration teams to align master data, journals, controls, and performance SLAs; partner with Data Infrastructure and BizTech teams on system integrations.
Prepare cutover plans, data migration strategies, reconciliation frameworks, and hypercare plans; document data lineage, controls, and audit artifacts to support SOX compliance requirements.
Work closely with engineering teams and business stakeholders to drive ongoing expansion and adoption of the Workday platform, identifying opportunities for process improvement and automation.
Qualifications
8+ years of experience in finance systems, ERP implementation, or business systems analysis roles, with at least 5 years of hands‑on Workday Financials experience.
Deep expertise in Workday Financial Data Model (FDM), including Chart of Accounts design, Worktags configuration, dimensional hierarchies, and Accounting Books setup.
Strong experience with Workday Prism Analytics, including data modeling, source integration, calculated fields, and report development.
Ability to translate complex business requirements into technical solutions and bridge the gap between finance stakeholders and technical implementation teams.
Experience with full ERP implementation lifecycles—requirements gathering, configuration, testing, data migration, cutover planning, and hypercare.
Strong understanding of financial accounting processes, including General Ledger, multi‑entity consolidation, intercompany accounting, and management reporting.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with finance leadership, accounting teams, and technical partners.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail and a commitment to data accuracy and integrity.
Comfortable working in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments with evolving requirements and tight timelines.
Strong candidates may also have:
Background in accounting, finance, or CPA certification with understanding of GAAP/IFRS reporting requirements.
Experience with Workday Accounting Center for complex journal automation and subledger accounting.
Technical proficiency with SQL, Python, or scripting languages for data analysis and integration support.
Experience integrating Workday with external data platforms such as BigQuery or cloud data warehouses.
Knowledge of SOX compliance requirements and internal controls for financial systems.
Experience with EPM/FP&A systems such as Pigment, Anaplan, or Adaptive Planning and their integration with ERP.
Prior experience at high‑growth technology companies scaling toward IPO readiness.
Familiarity with Workday HCM and understanding of HCM‑Financials integration points.
Experience with data migration tools, ETL processes, and reconciliation frameworks for ERP implementations.
Compensation The expected base compensation for this position is below. Our total compensation package for full‑time employees includes equity, benefits, and may include incentive compensation.
$205,000 – $265,000 USD
Logistics Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.
Location‑based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. Some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren’t able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. If we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa.
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement As set forth in Anthropic’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.
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. We value impact—advancing our long‑term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI—over 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 are an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure we are pursuing the highest‑impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space where to collaborate with colleagues.
