Senior Cyber Policy Lead
About the role
We're looking for a senior policy leader to own how Anthropic governs access to its most sensitive cyber-relevant model capabilities. You'll consolidate our controlled-access framework, keep our cyber-related product policy commitments current as standards shift, and serve as Anthropic's primary point of contact with government and regulatory stakeholders. This role works closely with regulators, partners, and the broader coordinated-vulnerability-disclosure community.
You don't need to write code in this role, but you should be comfortable engaging deeply with technical material — probes, classifiers, and trusted-access programs — and translating it into policy that holds up under scrutiny.
Key responsibilities
Own Anthropic's access-requirements policy and lead consolidation of the controlled-access framework across existing and emerging access programs
Keep Anthropic's cyber-related policy commitments current with shifting industry and regulatory standards, and ensure they map cleanly to our technical safeguards
Serve as Anthropic's primary policy interface with government and regulatory stakeholders
Build and maintain relationships across the coordinated vulnerability disclosure, cybersecurity policy, and national security communities
Author and maintain reporting to partners and regulators
Translate technical evaluation and safeguard work into policy positions and external-facing standards engagement
Engage closely with technical teams to understand the capabilities of probes and classifiers relevant to access policy
Minimum qualifications
Experience engaging directly with the US government and regulatory parties on matters related to cybersecurity
Experience authoring policy positions, formal reporting, or regulatory responses for government audiences
Extensive experience in cybersecurity policy, including coordinated vulnerability disclosure
Preferred qualifications
Experience coordinating sensitive pre-release or pre-publication engagement between a company and government partners (e.g., pre-deployment testing, incident notification, regulatory pre-briefs)
Familiarity with government information-sharing and incident-notification frameworks
Experience engaging directly with government agencies, regulators, or standards bodies on cybersecurity matters, including on AI
Ability to read and interpret technical security material, such as capability evaluations, vulnerability reports, or threat assessments
Established relationships across government and regulatory bodies focused on cybersecurity
A background spanning legal, technical, and policy disciplines related to vulnerabilities and disclosure
Active secret security clearance or higher, or eligibility to obtain one
