Full Job Description
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.

You’ll need enough domain fluency to earn trust quickly with experienced security practitioners, enough program rigor to stand up new capabilities from zero, and enough pragmatism to know when a fast, imperfect answer beats a slow, polished one. Much of what you build will eventually hand off to operational owners — so a bias toward clean, documented, transferable work matters as much as speed. Responsibilities Develop and maintain the policy and procedure library across GSIS domains, including intelligence, executive protection, investigations, travel and event security, security technology, security operations, and crisis management ensuring coverage is complete, current, and aligned with company-wide frameworks Stand up and own the GSIS metrics and reporting framework: operational health, open initiatives, emerging risks, and portfolio status, delivered in a way that gives leadership reliable visibility without manual assembly each time Stand up net-new capabilities in response to emerging risks or
