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

About the role

We are seeking an International Accounting Manager to join our international accounting team in Dublin. This second-in-seat role reports to our Head of International Accounting. In this pivotal role, you will build and implement the framework for local compliance across our international entities with an initial focus on EMEA and APAC regions while flexibly adapting to our evolving needs as we scale. As a key contributor to establishing our regional accounting operations, you'll partner closely with our global teams while taking ownership of the processes and systems you help create. If you're looking for an opportunity to make a significant impact on the financial infrastructure of an innovative AI company at the forefront of safety, come join us in our mission to build cutting-edge, safe AI.

Responsibilities:

• Build and implement frameworks for local compliance across regional entities, ensuring alignment with both local statutory requirements and global standards
• Establish and maintain frameworks for local financial statement review on a monthly basis, including local flux analysis and variance explanations
• Participate in the development and implementation of international finance policies, adapting existing global policies for regional requirements and establishing local approval workflows
• Execute monthly consolidation processes and eliminations across international entities, including journal entry preparation and booking, intercompany eliminations, and reconciliations, to ensure timely and accurate group-level reporting
• Manage intercompany transactions and develop frameworks to support global scaling, including transfer pricing documentation and compliance
• Handle foreign exchange (FX) transactions and develop monthly processes for currency consolidation and risk management
• Perform comprehensive reconciliations of balance sheet accounts, ensuring accuracy and completeness of financial records
• Support local audits of regional entities, coordinating with external auditors and preparing comprehensive audit schedules and documentation
• Support tax compliance framework development and implementation across international jurisdictions
• Partner with US-based teams to ensure seamless integration of international operations with global financial processes
• Leverage technology and tools to drive continuous improvement, automation, and operational excellence across international accounting processes, with a focus on finance transformation

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 7+ years of accounting experience, preferably in high-growth environments with international exposure
• Have a bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance, or equivalent practical experience
• Are a qualified accountant with professional certification (CIMA, ACCA, ACA, or equivalent)
• Possess deep knowledge of both US GAAP and IFRS, with strong understanding of statutory reporting requirements
• Are proficient in NetSuite or similar ERP systems, with experience building and optimizing accounting workflows
• Have experience with consolidations, eliminations, and intercompany accounting processes
• Demonstrate curiosity and initiative, with a strong drive to independently identify and solve problems”
• Are highly collaborative and able to build strong relationships across time zones and cultures
• Ability to effectively communicate and influence in a globally distributed team
• Take high ownership of your work and have the flexibility to adapt to changing needs and priorities
• Exhibit strong organizational and time-management abilities with exceptional attention to detail

Strong candidates may also:

• Have prior experience at a high-growth technology company, particularly in international operations
• Bring FX experience including hedging strategies and currency risk management
• Have worked with complex group structures and multi-jurisdictional consolidations
• Demonstrate comfort with ambiguity and building processes from the ground up
• Possess experience working across different time zones and cultural contexts
• Have knowledge of AI/ML company dynamics and business models
• Show passion for Anthropic's mission to develop safe and ethical AI systems

The expected salary range for this position is:

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. However, 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. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

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. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

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.

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 in which to collaborate with colleagues.
