Regional Safety & Security Manager, Americas

About Anthropic Anthropic’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.About the Role As Anthropic scales across the Americas, the Regional Safety & Security Manager (RSSM), Americas is the single operational owner of safety and security execution for every Anthropic location in the region. Our global function leaders set the standards — for physical security design, enterprise risk, and environmental health & safety. The RSSM is the leader who employs those standards in the field: directing the campus security managers, the regional systems integration team, the safety practitioners, and the contract guard force that protect our people, facilities, and research every day. This is a senior leadership role with real ownership. You own the region’s safety and security posture, its people, and its budget, and you are accountable for outcomes at every site. Responsibilities Regional operations: Own end-to-end safety and security operations for all Americas sites, protecting employees, visitors, assets, and AI research while maintaining ASL compliance. Team leadership: Lead the region’s safety and security team — campus security managers, the Americas systems integration team, EH&S regional staff, and contracted guard-force partners. Set direction, develop talent, and manage performance. Incident command: Serve as regional incident commander for critical incidents and emergencies; build and exercise emergency-response plans with local law enforcement and emergency services. Standards execution: Implement and localize the global standards set by the Physical Security Design, Enterprise Risk, and EH&S global function leaders — consistently across the region, adapted to site and jurisdiction — and feed field intelligence back to keep standards sharp. Budget and vendors: Own the regional safety and security budget and vendor portfolio; drive cost-effective coverage, guard-post standards, and service quality. New sites: Collaborate with new-site leadership teams on security risk assessments, security design input, and pre-opening readiness, supporting the transition to steady-state operations. Partnerships: Build trusted relationships with law enforcement, emergency services, and government partners across the region; represent Anthropic in regional public-safety forums. Culture: Champion an approachable safety and security culture that enables — rather than restricts — a fast-moving research organization.

How we're different We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues.
