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
- As part of Anthropic's Global Safety, Intelligence, and Security (GSIS) team, the Security Development Project Specialist will lead security infrastructure development for Anthropic's extensive global office expansion program. This unique position offers the opportunity to shape the physical security foundation for a rapidly growing AI company operating across international locations, from standard office environments to specialized facilities requiring high security complexity.
- You'll serve as the dedicated expert managing security from initial site assessment through operational handoff, coordinating with Real Estate, Facilities, architects, construction teams, and security vendors across multiple countries and facility types. Your work will directly enable Anthropic's global expansion while ensuring appropriate security infrastructure protects our employees, intellectual property, and AI development operations.
Responsibilities:
- Lead comprehensive security assessments for potential office locations during Real Estate evaluation processes across North America, EMEA, and APAC regions
- Design security infrastructure requirements and specifications for new buildouts tailored to ASL compliance levels and facility use cases
- Integrate CPTED principles into architectural planning and site design to optimize security effectiveness through environmental design
- Own coordination with architects, construction teams, and Facilities on security elements for office buildouts in multiple countries with varying building codes and standards
- Direct phased security implementation for complex buildouts including staging, access control development, and infrastructure deployment
- Oversee construction security programs to protect assets and intellectual property during vulnerable development phases
- Drive security vendor selection, contract establishment, and performance standards for new locations
- Lead pre-opening security commissioning and validate all systems meet operational requirements before facility activation
- Execute seamless operational handoff to site security teams with complete documentation and training
- Connect stakeholders across different GSIS functions on shared projects
You may be a good fit if you have
- 8+ years of progressive experience in security project management, with demonstrated expertise owning facility security buildouts from conception through operational handoff
- Experience leading security assessments for potential office locations and developing comprehensive security infrastructure plans for new facilities
- Strong background in driving projects with architects, construction teams, and Facilities to integrate security elements into building design within varying regulatory frameworks
- Proven track record owning complex, multi-phase projects with multiple concurrent workstreams across different locations or time zones
- Excellent stakeholder management skills with ability to influence and coordinate effectively without direct authority across diverse groups
- Deep understanding of security technology systems, construction processes, and facility development timelines
- Strong project management foundation with ability to own schedules, budgets, dependencies, and stakeholder expectations
Strong candidates may have
- Previous experience in technology company security or managing security programs for high-profile corporate environments with complex requirements
- Professional security certifications such as CPP, PSP, or PMP
- Experience with high-security facility standards such as SCIF, ASL, data center security, or controlled environment requirements
- Experience managing security projects in international locations with varying regulatory and construction practices
- Understanding of AI safety considerations and unique security requirements for AI development environments
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.
