About the Role

We are seeking a Protective Intelligence Analyst to join our growing protective services team. In this role, you will play a critical part in identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats to Anthropic's people, facilities, operations, and reputation through intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination.

This role sits at the intersection of intelligence analysis, threat management, and executive protection. You'll produce actionable intelligence that informs security decisions across the organization. As one of the first hires on the PI team, you'll have the opportunity to help shape the program from the ground up, establishing workflows, analytical standards, and stakeholder relationships that will scale as Anthropic grows.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on the analytical challenge of connecting disparate data points into a coherent threat picture and translating that picture into clear, actionable guidance for decision-makers. You'll operate across the full intelligence cycle — from collection and processing to analysis, production, and dissemination — in a high-tempo environment where the threat landscape is rapidly evolving.

Important Note: In this position, you may be exposed to graphic and explicit content, including material of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature.
