About The Position

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. Anthropic is looking for a Head of Insurance & Business Risk to build this pivotal function from the ground up. You'll own Anthropic's corporate insurance program end-to-end — assessing our risk landscape, designing and placing coverage, and developing the broader risk mitigation strategies that protect the company as we grow. This role presents the opportunity to quickly scale a risk management program while shaping how the insurance industry understands emerging AI risks.

Requirements

Have owned the full corporate insurance program at a company including the full renewal cycle, claims, broker management, and board reporting
Have deep technical insurance depth: you can speak credibly to coverage structure, exclusions, and pricing dynamics across major lines without deferring to a broker
Have built or significantly rebuilt a risk function, rather than only inheriting and maintaining one
Think about risk transfer holistically and can articulate when not to buy a policy
Are comfortable operating at the pace of a fast-growing company and being seen as additive to the business, not a blocker
Have a point of view on how to structure coverage for risks the market hasn't fully priced yet
Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience
Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Nice To Haves

Experience with data center, hyperscaler, or neocloud-specific property and business interruption risk
Captive formation or captive management experience
A background on the broker side that they've since brought in-house at a fast-growing company
Experience engaging directly with regulators or carriers on novel risk categories

Responsibilities

Own the full corporate insurance program across all lines — D&O, cyber, tech E&O, and Property & Casualty — including renewals, claims, and broker relationships
Centralize insurance ownership from stakeholders across Legal, Facilities, Security, Product, Policy, and Research into a single coherent program
Meet regularly with business leaders to surface emerging risks, and design coverage or alternative risk-transfer strategies to address them
Build relationships with carriers, underwriters, and regulators to help shape how the insurance market approaches AI-specific risk
Think about risk transfer holistically — deciding when to insure, self-insure, use captives, transfer contractually, or mitigate operationally
Embed Claude throughout the insurance and risk workflow, from exposure modeling to renewal preparation
