Security Risk & Compliance, Data Centers & Compute

About the Role

As part of the Anthropic security department, the compliance team owns understanding security and AI safety expectations, as established by regulators, customers and (nascent) industry norms. The compliance team uses this understanding to provide direction to internal partners on the priorities of security and safety requirements they must meet. The compliance team assures regulators and customers that those expectations are met by earning security credentials and responding to direct inquiry about Anthropic's security program from auditors, customers, and partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand how Anthropic's security and privacy capabilities across major cloud platforms implement common frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, CSA CCM, and SOC 2).
• Build scalable data center and hyperscaler processes and documentation systems that will support future expansion to additional geographies and compliance frameworks.
• Assess and mitigate security and operational risks, implementing corrective actions, and managing vendor compliance.
• Coordinate engagements with independent assessors to earn security and privacy certifications and attestations important to Anthropic customers and enterprise partnerships, and to meet regulatory obligations.
• Write, update, and enact policies capturing security, privacy, and AI safety requirements.
• Maintain and enhance Anthropic's system of security controls through audit readiness, recordkeeping, and cross-functional communication.

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of progressive experience in audit and compliance roles, with direct ownership of certification/attestation or security compliance implementation projects.
• Experience in cloud-native environments and understanding of security and privacy considerations for multi-cloud and hybrid architectures.
• Ability to translate complex compliance requirements into actionable workstreams for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience integrating with common controls frameworks or GRC systems that scaled with organizational growth.
• Ability to write clear and useful security and privacy documentation for both external and internal audiences.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments building processes from scratch.
• Comfort organizing time-bounded task management of delegated work streams across a diverse organization.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in AI/ML companies with an understanding of unique security considerations for model development and deployment.
• Experience working with cloud companies and understanding cloud security controls and physical security requirements.
• Experience from high-growth technology companies managing rapid compliance expansion.
• Experience implementing automated enforcement of security controls (compliance as code).
