Description
As Head of Travel & Expense, you will be responsible for designing and owning Anthropic's multi-year T&E strategy, evolving the function from operationally sound to best-in-class across policy, cost management, employee experience, and compliance.
You will lead a cross-functional T&E governance structure with Finance, Security, Legal, HR, and Executive Assistants, and design and enforce jurisdiction-specific T&E policy frameworks for international entities (EMEA, APAC).
You will also own the corporate travel supplier program, driving material savings through hotel RFPs, airline corporate agreements, and preferred rate programs, and manage strategic relationships with our T&E travel and expense systems.
Additionally, you will serve as the subject matter expert for all executive travel needs, vendor selection, and utilization governance, and partner with Legal and Finance on executive travel tax implications, business purpose documentation, and audit-ready recordkeeping.
You will own and optimize Anthropic's T&E-related systems and platforms, and champion AI-powered automation across T&E, deploying Claude to audit transactions, flag policy exceptions, and automate reporting.
This is a rare opportunity to come in as a true builder, inheriting solid operational foundations and a Claude-first culture pioneering AI-powered automation across Finance, and architect a T&E program worthy of a company shaping the future of AI.
