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’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 Intelligence Specialist to join GSIS’s Enterprise Intelligence team as a hands-on investigator and analyst. Where our Protective Intelligence team focuses on executive-centric threat assessment — individuals and groups who may pose a risk to our executives — the Enterprise Intelligence team owns the employee and enterprise-level threat picture: the geopolitical, security, and risk environment in which Anthropic operates globally. Working against priorities set by the team lead, you will investigate specific threats, actors, and events, produce finished assessments, and help keep Anthropic’s employees ahead of a rapidly evolving threat landscape and in a defensible position.
This is an individual contributor role on an established team; you will not be asked to build or manage the program. You will spend most of your time investigating and analyzing threats, producing assessments and briefs, supporting the team during crises, and briefing stakeholders on your findings. The team 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.
- Serve as an investigator and analyst on the Enterprise Intelligence team,
including via conducting investigations and behavior-based threat assessments, producing risk assessments, and intel products
- Work against threat intelligence requirements and priorities set by the team lead, and contribute to the team’s production cycle and quality standards
- Identify, assess, track, and investigate global threats including geopolitical instability, terrorism, crime, activism, nation-state targeting of the AI sector, and emerging security trends, including deep-dive research and OSINT collection on specific threats, actors, and events
- Produce timely threat intelligence products such as risk assessments, threat briefs, travel risk guidance, and executive summaries, and translate intelligence into actionable insights for crisis teams and operational security functions
- Apply the team’s methodologies for intelligence collection, analysis, validation, and dissemination, and hold your own production to the team’s quality standards
- Provide investigative support to crisis management, emergency response, and business continuity efforts; serve as a key supporter during security incidents, elevated threat environments, and high-risk events; coordinate inputs before, during, and after crises to support decision-making and post-incident review
- Brief security leadership and cross-functional partners with clear, concise, and decision-oriented intelligence; build trusted relationships with Legal, People, Compliance, DnR, SecEng, etc; support the team lead in enterprise risk discussions and governance forums as needed
- Work day to day with external intelligence providers, industry peers, law enforcement, and government partners as appropriate; use the team’s intelligence vendors, tools, and subscriptions and give feedback on their quality, relevance, and value
- Document your work in line with team workflows and quality controls, and model integrity, discretion, and continuous improvement in all intelligence work
- Have 7+ years of professional experience in intelligence, security risk analysis, threat assessment, or a related discipline
- Have demonstrated experience investigating threats and producing finished all-source intelligence in a corporate, government, military, or global security environment
- Hold a bachelor’s degree in security studies, international relations, political science, intelligence, psychology, criminology, or a related field
- Want to be a hands-on investigator on a team — this role does not manage people or own the program
- Bring strong analytical skills with the ability to translate complex threat information into clear, actionable guidance
- Have a proven ability to brief senior stakeholders and influence decision-making, with excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Can manage multiple concurrent taskings — strategic products and live incidents — under tight deadlines with limited supervision
- Are comfortable with a flexible schedule, including periodic after-hours availability during crises and elevated threat environments
- A master’s degree in intelligence studies, international affairs, security studies, public policy, or a related field
- CTM certification
- Experience supporting global operations, international travel risk, or crisis management programs
- Familiarity with intelligence tools, OSINT and threat monitoring platforms, and structured analytic frameworks
- Prior experience in highly regulated or high-risk industries (e.g., technology, critical infrastructure, life sciences, finance)
- A background in high-growth technology companies or startups, and specialized knowledge of risks unique to the AI sector
Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be received on a rolling basis.

Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
