Full Job Description
As Anthropic scales across the Americas, the Regional Safety & Security Manager (RSSM), Americas is the single operational owner of safety and security execution for every Anthropic location in the region. Our global function leaders set the standards - for physical security design, enterprise risk, and environmental health & safety. The RSSM is the leader who employs those standards in the field: directing the campus security managers, the regional systems integration team, the safety practitioners, and the contract guard force that protect our people, facilities, and research every day. This is a senior leadership role with real ownership. You own the region's safety and security posture, its people, and its budget, and you are accountable for outcomes at every site. Responsibilities • Regional operations: Own end-to-end safety and security operations for all Americas sites, protecting employees, visitors, assets, and AI research while maintaining ASL compliance. • Team leadership: Lead the region's safety and security team - campus security managers, the Americas systems integration team, EH&S regional staff, and contracted guard-force partners. Set direction, develop talent, and manage performance. • Incident command: Serve as regional incident commander for critical incidents and emergencies; build and exercise emergency-response plans with local law enforcement and emergency services. • Standards execution: Implement and localize the global standards set by the Physical Security Design, Enterprise Risk, and EH&S global function leaders - consistently across the region, adapted to site and jurisdiction - and feed field intelligence back to keep standards sharp. • Budget and vendors: Own the regional safety and security budget and vendor portfolio; drive cost-effective coverage, guard-post standards, and service quality. • New sites: Collaborate with new-site leadership teams on security risk assessments, security design input, and pre-opening readiness, supporting the transition to steady-state operations. • Partnerships: Build trusted relationships with law enforcement, emergency services, and government partners across the region; represent Anthropic in regional public-safety forums. • Culture: Champion an approachable safety and security culture that enables - rather than restricts - a fast-moving research organization. You may be a good fit if you • Have 10+ years of progressive safety and/or security leadership, including multi-site or regional responsibility and direct people leadership. • Have led sizable teams (staff and vendor/guard forces) of 50 or more and owned meaningful operating budgets in excess of $10M. • Have served as incident commander for complex, high-stakes incidents and built emergency-response capability. • Have delivered the security scope for complex capital facility projects - a new buildout or major renovation - from design through activation. • Have built durable partnerships with law enforcement, emergency services, and government agencies. • Communicate credibly with executives and front-line staff alike, and can influence across a matrixed organization without relying on direct authority. • Are willing to travel regularly across Americas sites and support a 24/7 on-call posture. Strong candidates may have • A public-safety, law-enforcement, or military command background successfully transitioned into corporate security leadership. • Experience managing large teams of 100 or more and multimillion-dollar budgets ($25M and up) across multiple disciplines - safety programs, security technology teams, dispatch function, training and compliance. • Direct delivery of a capital security/facility project (e.g., a new operations center or campus) from design through opening. • A track record building critical-incident and workplace-violence-prevention programs. • Certifications such as CPP or PSP; ICS/FEMA incident-command training; active ASIS/InfraGard engagement. • A bachelor's degree (master's preferred) in a relevant field. • Experience in high-profile technology, research, or otherwise regulated 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. Annual Salary: $280,000-$340,000 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.
