Anthropic is hiring a senior policy lead to own the company's controlled-access framework for cyber-relevant model capabilities — the rules for who may access sensitive systems. The role consolidates access policy across programs, keeps cyber commitments aligned with technical safeguards and shifting regulation, and serves as Anthropic's main interface with government and regulatory stakeholders. It asks for extensive cybersecurity policy experience, including coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and comfort reading technical evaluation material. Preferred: AI-related government engagement, existing regulatory relationships, and an active or obtainable security clearance.
