About The Position

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.
