Revenue Systems Solution Architect

About the role:

We are seeking a Revenue Systems Solution Architect to join our Finance team at Anthropic. In this role, you will own the design, implementation, and optimization of our revenue recognition and billing systems infrastructure. As we continue to scale our consumption-based business model, you will be instrumental in building the systems foundation that enables accurate revenue recognition, streamlined quote-to-cash processes, and efficient month-end close.

This is a hands-on role where you'll architect solutions, configure systems, and solve complex technical challenges directly. You'll work at the intersection of Finance, Accounting, and Sales Operations, ensuring our revenue systems accurately reflect the complexities of ASC 606 compliance while supporting Anthropic's growth trajectory. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy building scalable financial infrastructure from the ground up, come join us in our mission to build safe, transformative AI.

Responsibilities:

• Own the architecture, implementation, and administration of revenue recognition systems (such as Zuora Revenue, Salesforce Revenue Cloud, or similar platforms), ensuring ASC 606 compliance for consumption-based business models

• Lead month-end close processes related to revenue recognition, identifying and resolving reconciliation issues, automation opportunities, and process bottlenecks

• Architect integrations between CPQ, billing, revenue recognition, and ERP systems to create a cohesive quote-to-cash technology stack

• Develop and maintain technical documentation, data flow diagrams, and system configuration guides

• Partner with Accounting, FP&A, and Sales Operations teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions

• Troubleshoot complex revenue recognition scenarios, particularly those unique to consumption and usage-based pricing models

• Drive continuous improvement of revenue systems, identifying opportunities for automation and enhanced accuracy

• Support audit readiness by maintaining clear system controls, documentation, and data integrity

• Have deep knowledge of CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) systems architecture, including Salesforce CPQ, Nue.io, or equivalent platforms, and drive seamless integration with downstream billing and revenue systems

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have 10+ years of experience implementing and administering revenue recognition systems such as Zuora Revenue, Salesforce Revenue Cloud, RevPro, or similar platforms

• Have deep expertise in ASC 606 revenue recognition standards, particularly as applied to consumption-based and usage-based business models

• Have working knowledge of CPQ platforms (Salesforce CPQ, Nue.io, DealHub, or similar) and their integration with billing and revenue systems

• Have a track record of solving complex month-end close issues and optimizing revenue accounting processes

• Are comfortable working directly in systems—configuring, troubleshooting, and building solutions yourself rather than solely managing vendors

• Possess strong understanding of quote-to-cash processes and the technical architecture that supports them

• Can communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Thrive in unstructured environments and are energized by building processes and systems from the ground up

Strong candidates may also:

• Have experience with
