Threat Intel Manager, Model Exploitation & Fraud

Anthropic is hiring a Threat Intel Manager to build and run the Model Exploitation & Fraud team within Threat Intelligence. The team detects, investigates, and disrupts the large-scale exploitation of Anthropic's AI systems, including model distillation, unauthorized access, account farming and reseller abuse, and fraud and scam operations. The manager sets strategy, hires and leads a small team of technical investigators, and builds the systems, processes, and partnerships that let the team scale. The area carries regular U.S. government engagement and requires understanding external black market ecosystems. This position may involve exposure to explicit content and may require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.

• Own strategy, priorities, and outcomes for the Model Exploitation & Fraud mission area.
• Hire, manage, and develop a team of technical threat investigators.
• Design clear lanes between this role and the team's senior individual contributors.
• Direct, prioritize, and resource complex investigations into model distillation, unauthorized AI R&D usage, unauthorized access, coordinated account abuse, and fraud/scam networks.
• Drive the redesign of triage for a very high-volume detection pipeline, building abuse signals, clustering, and agentic investigation workflows.
• Expand the team's coverage into fraud and scams, building detection and investigation playbooks from the ground up.
• Own the external engagement program, including regular intelligence sharing with U.S. government partners and industry peers.
• Anticipate how resellers, proxies, and third-party platforms change the abuse surface.
• Work with policy, enforcement, and engineering to convert findings into bans, product mitigations, and safety-by-design improvements.
• Define and report the team's metrics; brief Safeguards and company leadership.

• Led and managed investigative, fraud, platform integrity, or threat intelligence teams.
• Strong domain fluency in scaled abuse — fraud patterns, account abuse, unauthorized access, or platform exploitation economics.
• Proficient enough in SQL and Python to review data-heavy casework and provide surge capacity.
• Experience overseeing investigations that track threat actors across surface, deep, and dark web environments.
• Working familiarity with large language models and how models can be distilled, extracted, or exploited at scale.
• Built processes, detection systems, or programs from scratch.
• Communicate crisply with executives, engineers, and external partners.

• Experience at a major technology platform on trust and safety, fraud, or abuse investigations at scale.
• Background in financial crime investigation or fraud analytics.
• Experience working directly with U.S. government stakeholders on threat reporting.
• Track record of partnering with, growing, and retaining senior technical specialists.
• Fluency in Mandarin Chinese and/or Russian with nuanced regional and geopolitical context.
• Active Top Secret security clearance.

Annual salary: $375,000—$455,000 USD.

Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience. Location-based hybrid policy: all staff are expected to be in one of Anthropic's offices at least 25% of the time. Visa sponsorship is offered.
