About The Position

Anthropic’s Applied AI team helps large organizations put Claude to work. In this security-focused role, you will join an overlay team of domain experts supporting enterprise account teams. You will bring deep security expertise to important customer conversations, help security leaders identify meaningful uses for Claude, and guide customers from early pilots to production workloads. You will support a portfolio of accounts across regulated industries, strategic sectors, digital-native companies, and public sector agencies, each with distinct threat models. You will work alongside account executives, account architects, and generalist Applied AI engineers who own customer relationships and broader technical engagements. Your security expertise and reusable playbooks, reference implementations, and evaluation approaches will support multiple accounts. You will also connect customer needs with Anthropic’s Product, Research, and Engineering teams, and work with ISVs, systems integrators, and managed security providers to enable Claude-powered outcomes. The role includes occasional travel to customer sites for workshops and technical deep dives. Anthropic currently expects staff to work from an office at least 25% of the time, though some roles may require more office time.
