Full Job Description
About the Role

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.

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.
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
  • Apply behavioral threat assessment principles to persons-of-concern cases, analyzing patterns of concerning behavior, indicators of escalation toward violence, and mitigating factors to guide case disposition and ongoing threat management
  • 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 5+ 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
  • Understand how targeted violence develops behaviorally and can recognize and weigh warning behaviors, escalation dynamics, and protective factors when assessing whether a subject is on a pathway toward harm
  • 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 BTAM, CPP, PCI, or relevant intelligence community credentials
  • Familiarity with privacy law and legal considerations governing intelligence collection in the private sector

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.

Annual Salary:

$230,000-$280,000 USD

Logistics

Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

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.

In some cases, we may partner with vetted recruiting agencies who will identify themselves as working on behalf of Anthropic. Be cautious of emails from other domains. Legitimate Anthropic recruiters will never ask for money, fees, or banking information before your first day.
