Anthropic is seeking a Senior Manager, Infrastructure Lease Accounting to lead end-to-end accounting for the company's rapidly expanding infrastructure lease portfolio, which underpins a $50bn investment in American computing infrastructure. This role sits at the intersection of finance, operations, and strategy, requiring deep technical expertise in ASC 842 lease accounting applied to complex data center and AI infrastructure arrangements.
You will own the complete accounting lifecycle for Anthropic's infrastructure leases—from monthly close and reconciliations to complex lease classifications, modifications, and reassessments. You'll partner closely with Data Center Operations, Real Estate, Finance, and Legal teams during contract negotiation to ensure accounting implications are understood upfront. A key responsibility is translating technical accounting concepts into clear financial implications for non-finance stakeholders, helping them make informed decisions.
You'll design and scale systems, processes, and controls to support a rapidly growing lease portfolio, collaborating with the Infrastructure Accounting team to improve data pipelines from operational and contract systems. You'll mentor accounting professionals, serve as the primary contact with external auditors on lease accounting matters, and drive process improvements and automation—including leveraging AI tooling to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, ideally at hyperscalers, large compute consumers, or data center operators. You should have deep familiarity with infrastructure lease structures (colocation, dark fiber IRUs, compute/equipment leases) and experience managing significant lease portfolios in high-growth environments. Technical skills include SQL proficiency, experience with lease accounting software at scale, and comfort working with large, complex datasets. Big 4 accounting or advisory background combined with industry experience is valued. Knowledge of AI/ML infrastructure cost structures and experience applying AI tooling to accounting processes is a plus.
