Head of Enterprise Risk

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco, focused on creating reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. The company works as a single cohesive team on large-scale research efforts, valuing impact and collaboration.

Anthropic seeks a Head of Enterprise Risk to lead programs that keep people, operations, and mission resilient as the company scales globally. Reporting to the Head of Resilience Operations, this role owns a portfolio of enterprise-risk disciplines—environmental health & safety, access and life-cycle management, third-party (vendor) risk, and security program management of new facilities—and directly oversees the specialist leaders who run them. The role sets policy, standards, and frameworks for identifying, measuring, and reducing enterprise risk across the company, building programs and teams ahead of need.

• Own Anthropic’s enterprise risk framework—identify, assess, and prioritize enterprise risks; integrate risk governance into business planning.
• Lead and develop a team of programmatic leaders across EH&S, access management, third-party risk, and new-facility security program management.
• Enable global EH&S program leadership, support strategy, policy, and standards development, ensuring regulatory compliance and a strong safety culture.
• Support access and life-cycle management programs—access governance, provisioning standards, and auditing—across facilities.
• Stand up and run a third-party (vendor) risk program—due diligence, security and safety requirements in contracts, and ongoing monitoring of critical suppliers.
• Facilitate development of security program management for new facilities—from risk assessment and design requirements through pre-opening readiness and transition to operations.
• Anticipate emerging enterprise risks tied to rapid growth, new global offices, and frontier research environments; advise leadership on readiness.
• Partner across GSIS, IT, People, Legal, and Compliance to embed risk programs into the business.

• 12+ years in enterprise risk, safety, resilience, or security program leadership, including managing teams and multi-disciplinary programs.
• Built or owned an enterprise risk management framework and integrated it into business planning.
• Led multi-disciplinary programs (e.g., EH&S, access, third-party risk, or facility programs) at organizational scale.
• Effective people leader who develops specialists and holds a high program bar.
• Communicates risk clearly to executives and translates it into operational programs.
• Thinks in systems and time horizons and builds ahead of need.
• Thrives in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments.

Strong candidates may have experience building risk, safety, or resilience programs at hyperscale technology companies or across large multi-site, multinational organizations; a strong EH&S background; third-party/vendor risk management program experience; deep familiarity with enterprise risk frameworks (e.g., ISO 31000); relevant certifications (e.g., CSP, CIH, CPP, ARM, or ERM credentials); and experience in high-profile, regulated, or research environments.

Annual salary range: $280,000—$340,000 USD.
