Regional Safety & Security Manager, Americas

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.

You may be a good fit if you

Have 10+ years of progressive safety and/or security leadership, including multi-site or regional responsibility and direct people leadership.

Have led sizable teams (staff and vendor/guard forces) of 50 or more and owned meaningful operating budgets in excess of $10M.

Have served as incident commander for complex, high-stakes incidents and built emergency-response capability.

Have delivered the security scope for complex capital facility projects — a new buildout or major renovation — from design through activation.

Have built durable partnerships with law enforcement, emergency services, and government agencies.

Communicate credibly with executives and front-line staff alike, and can influence across a matrixed organization without relying on direct authority.

Are willing to travel regularly across Americas sites and support a 24/7 on-call posture.
