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

About the Role

Anthropic’s Global Safety, Intelligence, and Security (GSIS) team is responsible for protecting our people, facilities, and operations worldwide. The function spans intelligence, protective services, investigations, travel and event security, security operations, environmental health and safety, and crisis management — and it’s growing quickly as Anthropic’s footprint, public profile, and threat surface all expand.

We are seeking an Enterprise Threat Intelligence Lead to build and lead GSIS’s enterprise Security Intelligence Program. Where our Protective Intelligence team focuses on person-centric threat assessment, individuals and groups who may pose a risk to our people — this role owns the organization-level threat picture: the geopolitical, security, and risk environment in which Anthropic operates globally. You will define the program’s vision and operating model, establish analytic standards and governance, and build the team and vendor ecosystem that keeps Anthropic’s leadership and security functions ahead of a rapidly evolving threat landscape.

This is a player-coach leadership role. You will manage analysts and contractors from day one while remaining hands-on producing strategic assessments, leading crisis intelligence support, and briefing senior executives during fast-moving events. The role sits at the center of how Anthropic understands and anticipates external risk, and your work will directly shape decisions about where and how we operate, travel, convene, and grow.

Brief senior leaders and cross-functional partners with clear, concise, and decision-oriented intelligence; build trusted relationships with Legal, People, Compliance, DnR, SecEng, etc; represent security intelligence in enterprise risk discussions and governance forums

Manage relationships with external intelligence providers, industry peers, law enforcement, and government partners as appropriate; evaluate and oversee intelligence vendors, tools, and subscriptions to ensure quality, relevance, and value

Hire, lead, mentor, and develop intelligence analysts and contractors, fostering high analytical standards and ethical judgment; establish clear expectations, workflows, and quality controls; promote a culture of integrity, discretion, and continuous improvement
