About The Position

Anthropic is seeking a Threat Intel Manager to establish and lead its CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons team within Threat Intelligence. This team is responsible for detecting, investigating, and disrupting attempts to misuse Anthropic's AI systems for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRN-E) threats, as well as for the development of advanced or novel weapons. The role involves maturing this function into a rigorous program by hiring specialized investigators, enhancing detection capabilities beyond general harm screens to threat-specific ones, and personally leading complex cases that require scientific judgment to differentiate between curiosity, legitimate research, and genuine weapons development. This position requires significant engagement with government, biosecurity, and scientific stakeholders. Please note: This role may involve exposure to explicit content of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature, and may require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.

Requirements

Intelligence analyst, policy expert, or researcher with deep domain expertise in biosecurity, chemical defense, weapons non-proliferation, dual-use research of concern (DURC), or related CBRN-E threat domains.
Demonstrated experience leading investigative or analytic teams as a senior domain expert with mentorship and program-building experience.
Experience with threat actor profiling, threat intelligence analysis frameworks, and collection frameworks.
Hands-on experience with large language models and understanding of how AI could be misused for CBRN-E threats.
Excellent stakeholder management skills across researchers, policy experts, legal teams, government, and external partners.
Ability to present analytical work to technical and non-technical audiences, including government stakeholders and senior leadership.
Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience in a field relevant to the role.

Nice To Haves

Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in biological sciences, chemistry, biodefense, biosecurity, or a related field.
Real-world experience countering weapons of mass destruction or other high-risk asymmetric threats in the intelligence community or defense organizations.
Experience working with government agencies, defense/national security organizations, or in regulated environments handling sensitive CBRN-E programs, counterproliferation and threat analysis.
Background in AI safety, machine learning security, or technology abuse investigation.
Experience building and scaling threat detection systems or abuse monitoring programs.
Active Top Secret security clearance.

Responsibilities

Own strategy, priorities, and outcomes for the CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons mission area, maturing it from an emerging function into a rigorous investigative program.
Hire, manage, and develop a team of investigators with deep domain expertise across biological, chemical, and weapons-development threat areas.
Personally lead investigations into attempts to use our systems to develop, enhance, or disseminate CBRN-E weapons, or advanced weapons capabilities.
Evolve detection from broad harm screens toward CBRN-specific signals and methodologies tailored to dual-use research concerns, in partnership with our collections engineers.
Set the analytic quality bar for cross-platform threat analysis grounded in real threat actor behavior, open-source research, and publicly reported weapons programs.
Own escalation and enforcement decisions with policy and enforcement teams for the highest-severity misuse category handled.
Lead external engagement with government agencies, biosecurity and chemical-security research communities, and scientific organizations.
Inform safety-by-design and capability-evaluation strategies by forecasting how threat actors will leverage frontier AI for CBRN-E purposes.
Serve as a liaison to government partners, educating stakeholders on AI-enabled threats through regular reporting and briefings.
