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, executive protection, 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 a Protective Intelligence Analyst to join our GSIS team. In this role, you will play a critical part in identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats to Anthropic's people, facilities, operations, and reputation through intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the program from the ground up, establishing workflows, analytical standards, and stakeholder relationships that will scale as Anthropic grows. This role sits at the intersection of intelligence analysis, behavioral threat assessment, and executive protection. You'll produce actionable intelligence that informs security decisions across the organization and operate across the full intelligence cycle, from collection and processing to analysis, production, and dissemination, in a high-tempo environment where the threat landscape is rapidly evolving. This is an ideal role for someone who thrives on the analytical challenge of connecting disparate data points into a coherent threat picture and translating that picture into clear, actionable guidance for decision-makers. Important Note: In this position, you may be exposed to graphic and explicit content, including material of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature.
