About Anthropic
- 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.
About the Role
- We are seeking a Protective Intelligence Analyst to join our growing protective services 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, threat management, 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.
Responsibilities
- Conduct all-source intelligence collection and analysis to identify, assess and prioritize physical security threats to Anthropic and its personnel
- Produce clear, well-sourced analytical products, from quick-turn updates to in-depth analytical reports for executive delivery
- Investigate and triage concerning communications, online threats, and persons of concern using established threat assessment methodologies
- Provide intelligence support for executive protection, travel security, and major events, including pre-travel and event briefs, assessments, and real-time threat monitoring
- Monitor open-source intelligence channels, social media, deep and dark web forums, and web-based intelligence platforms for emerging threats and risks
- Track geopolitical developments and sector-specific threat trends relevant to Anthropic’s global operations and the AI industry
- Build relationships with external intelligence partners, law enforcement agencies, and industry peers working on related issues and to facilitate information sharing
You may be a good fit if you
- Have 8+ years of professional experience in protective intelligence, corporate investigations, threat assessment, or a related discipline
- Hold a bachelor's degree or higher in a relevant field
- Have expertise in Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) tradecraft, including proficiency with specialized intelligence tools and social media analysis platforms
- Have hands-on experience applying established threat assessment methodologies (e.g., TRAP-18, WAVR-21) to analyze and evaluate individuals of concern
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively tailor complex content for various stakeholders, from technical teams to senior leadership
- Can manage multiple tasks simultaneously under tight deadlines with minimal oversight
- Have a strong drive for continuous process improvement and thrive in highly collaborative environments
- Are comfortable with a flexible schedule, including 24/7 on-call rotation and after-hours response, when needed
Strong candidates may also have
- Background in high-growth technology companies or startup
- Specialized knowledge of risks unique to the AI sector
- Professional certifications such as CTM, CPP, PCI, or relevant intelligence community credentials
- Familiarity with privacy law and legal considerations governing intelligence collection in the private sector
- Experience with link analysis, data visualization, or geospatial intelligence tools
- Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be received on a rolling basis.
- The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.
- For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.
How we're different
- 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.
