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 a Technical Program Manager for Security, you'll drive execution of high-stakes programs that span security engineering, infrastructure, and cross-functional teams across Anthropic. You'll be responsible for the strategy, planning, and execution of technical security programs that enable Anthropic to meet its Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP) commitments while building towards a security posture that scales with our rapid growth.
This role sits at the intersection of Security Engineering, Security Compliance, Infrastructure, Product, Research, Policy, and more. This role demands someone who thrives in ambiguity, makes well-reasoned decisions under pressure, and can translate complex security requirements into executable programs with compressed timelines.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end security program execution for RSP security readiness– Drive security workstreams from requirements interpretation through implementation, coordinating across Security Engineering, Infrastructure, Research, and Compliance teams to ensure we meet RSP commitments on aggressive timelines
Lead infrastructure security programs – Manage programs like cluster hardening, service boundary enforcement, and security observability that protect our most sensitive assets including model weights and training infrastructure
Coordinate complex multi-team deployments – Manage security control rollouts and migrations, like endpoint hardening and egress reduction that require careful change management across engineering organizations
Make real-time technical trade-off decisions – Balance competing constraints between security controls, research velocity, and operational feasibility during fast-moving program cycles
Build program structure for emerging security domains – Create program charters, establish roles and timelines, develop communication strategies, and define success metrics for nascent security initiatives
Partner with third-party partners – Manage security aspects of infrastructure partnerships, including contract requirements, relationship management, and security assurance processes
Lead stakeholder communication and executive reporting – Prepare regular status updates, deliver company-wide communications, lead program reviews, and ensure leadership has visibility into critical security milestones, blockers, and risks
You May Be a Good Fit If You

Have experience leveraging LLMs to automate workflows, improve operational efficiency, and develop novel solutions for complex technical and organizational challenges.
Have experience reporting on complex programs through data-driven benchmarks, including writing SQL queries.
Have strong interpersonal skills that enable you to influence without authority, build cross-organizational support, cooperation and action around security initiatives, policies and procedures.
Have a track record for being able to successfully organize, implement and manage complex programs and projects.
Are used to working through trade-offs, balancing competing priorities, and having your mind changed.
