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
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 technology, 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’re looking for a senior operational leader to own the day-to-day resilience of every Anthropic location worldwide. Reporting to the Head of GSIS, you’ll lead three tightly connected functions — physical security operations, environmental health and safety, and event security — across a global office portfolio that includes specialized environments such as research labs. You’ll manage a growing team of practitioners and an existing EHS program, and you’ll be the person leadership turns to when something needs to be safe, secure, and operational, every day, in every location.
This is an unapologetically operational role. You’ll set the standards, run the programs, manage the vendors, own the metrics, and answer for outcomes when something goes wrong at 2am in a different time zone. You’ll partner closely with Real Estate and Workplace, People, Legal, IT, and the rest of the GSIS leadership team — and you’ll work alongside the Head of Protective Services on high-profile events where the threat picture and the operational footprint converge. The right person is equally comfortable writing an OSHA-compliant program from scratch, walking a new office build with a contractor, briefing an executive on event-day security posture, and coaching a guard force supervisor through an incident debrief.
Responsibilities
Lead global physical security operations
Own physical security strategy, standards, and execution across all Anthropic offices globally — including access control, intrusion detection, visitor management, guard force operations, and after-hours response
Manage the contract guard force vendors end-to-end: selection, SLAs, performance management, and renewal — holding partners to a standard worthy of the company they’re protecting
Build and maintain global physical security standards that scale with new office openings, ensuring consistency without ignoring the realities of local jurisdictions, building stock, and threat environments
Partner with Real Estate and Workplace on new site selection, build-outs, and retrofits to ensure security and life-safety requirements are designed in, not bolted on
Own incident response for physical security events and lead after-action reviews that drive concrete program improvements
Run a true Environmental Health and Safety program
Lead Anthropic’s global EHS program, ensuring compliance with OSHA and equivalent international workplace safety regulations across all locations
Oversee EHS for specialized environments including research labs — covering hazard assessment, chemical hygiene where applicable, ergonomics, emergency action plans, and incident reporting and investigation
Manage and develop the existing EHS program, and grow the function as the company’s footprint expands
Own workplace safety training, recordkeeping, and the evidence base needed for audits, insurance renewals, and regulatory inquiries
Own event security globally
Lead security planning and execution for major Anthropic events — both internal (all-hands, offsites, milestone gatherings) and external-facing (launches, recruiting events, public-facing convenings)
Partner closely with the Protective Services team on events involving senior leadership or elevated threat profiles, ensuring clean handoffs and unified command
Build a repeatable event security operating model — site surveys, threat assessments, staffing plans, communications protocols, run-of-show integration — so every event clears the same bar without reinventing the playbook
Manage event security vendors and contracted staff across regions
Lead and grow the team
Manage a growing team of physical security, EHS, and event security professionals — hiring, developing, and retaining practitioners who can operate independently across regions and time zones
Set performance expectations, run a real operating cadence, and create the kind of team where people want to build careers
Sit on the GSIS leadership team alongside peers leading Intelligence/Investigations/Insider Risk, Protective Services, Public Sector Security, and other pillars — contributing to overall function s
