About the job

Anthropic is a public benefit corporation focused on creating reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We are looking for an analyst to support the team's cyber product policy work, including usage policy language, help-center and enforcement guidance, and launch policy notes that define what Anthropic permits and prohibits for cyber-relevant use.

In this role, you will analyze the constitution and usage policies to ensure enforcement matches them, work with threat intelligence and enforcement teams to maintain safety standards, and coordinate cyber policy inputs to model releases and regulatory requirements alongside the Senior Cyber Policy Lead. You will also help maintain the controlled-access framework and keep cyber-related policy commitments current as standards shift.

Key responsibilities

  • Contribute to cyber product policy artifacts and keep them consistent with the constitution and access tiers
  • Analyze Anthropic's constitution and cyber-related usage policies, check enforcement decisions, maintain a gap log, and propose text fixes
  • Work with threat intelligence and enforcement teams to ensure cyber safety standards are met; review enforcement decisions against policy text and report drift
  • Coordinate cyber policy inputs to model releases and regulatory requirements, preparing policy sections for launch/model-card reviews and regulator pre-briefs
  • Support access-requirements policy and contribute to consolidation of the controlled-access framework
  • Help keep cyber-related policy commitments current with industry and regulatory standards
  • Draft inputs to reporting for partners and regulators
  • Translate technical evaluation and safeguard work into policy positions and internal guidance
  • Engage with technical teams to understand capabilities of probes and classifiers relevant to access policy

Minimum qualifications

  • Demonstrated ability to write clear policy analysis (professional or academic)
  • Familiarity with how AI developers or platforms enforce usage policies, or with cybersecurity policy, standards, or regulatory frameworks (e.g., usage policies/AUPs, trust and safety enforcement, NIST CSF, CVD)
  • Ability to read and interpret technical security material, such as vulnerability reports or threat assessments
  • Ability to work across teams and communicate clearly in writing

Preferred qualifications

  • Experience in cybersecurity policy, including familiarity with coordinated vulnerability disclosure
  • Exposure to government information-sharing and incident-notification frameworks
  • Experience supporting engagement with government agencies, regulators, or standards bodies on cybersecurity or AI matters
  • Experience with legal, technical, or policy aspects of vulnerabilities and disclosure
  • Experience with model-release or product-launch review processes
  • Familiarity with trust-and-safety or product-policy work at a platform

Compensation: Annual salary range $190,000—$285,000 USD.

Logistics: Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience in a relevant field. Years of experience required will correlate with internal job level requirements. Location-based hybrid policy: all staff are expected to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. Visa sponsorship is available with reasonable effort.
