Head of Enterprise Risk

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 Anthropic seeks a Head of Enterprise Risk to lead the programs that keep our people, operations, and mission resilient as we scale globally. Reporting to the Head of Resilience Operations, you will own a portfolio of enterprise-risk disciplines — environmental health & safety, access and life-cycle management, third-party (vendor) risk, and the security program management of new facilities — and directly oversee the specialist leaders who run them. This is a globally strategic role. You set the policy, standards, and frameworks for how enterprise risk is identified, measured, and reduced across the company, and you build the programs — and the team behind them — ahead of need. It’s a fit for a leader who thinks in systems and time horizons and turns forward-looking risk into durable operational programs. Responsibilities - Enterprise risk management: Own Anthropic’s enterprise risk framework — identify, assess, and prioritize enterprise risks, and integrate risk governance into business planning and decision-making. - Team leadership: Lead and develop a team of programmatic leaders across EH&S, access management, third-party risk, and new-facility security program management; set direction, standards, and accountable outcomes. - EH&S: Enable the global EH&S program leadership and support strategy, policy, and standards development, ensuring regulatory compliance and a strong safety culture across all operations. - Access management: Support the access and life-cycle management leader and their respective programs — access governance, provisioning standards, and auditing — across Anthropic facilities. - Third-party risk: Stand up and run a third-party (vendor) risk program — due diligence, security and safety requirements in contracts, and ongoing monitoring of critical suppliers. - New-facility programs: Facilitate development of the security program management of new facilities — from risk assessment and design requirements through pre-opening readiness and transition to operations — in partnership with regional teams, GSIS, Real Estate, and Facilities. - Horizon scanning: Within the realm of Safety & Security, anticipate emerging enterprise risks tied to rapid growth, new global offices, and frontier research environments, and advise leadership on readiness. - Cross-functional partnership: Partner across GSIS, IT, People, Legal, and Compliance to embed risk programs into the business. You may be a good fit if you - Have 12+ years in enterprise risk, safety, resilience, or security program leadership, including managing teams and multi-disciplinary programs. - Have built or owned an enterprise risk management framework and integrated it into business planning. - Have led multi-disciplinary programs (e.g., EH&S, access, third-party risk, or facility programs) at organizational scale. - Are an effective people leader who develops specialists and holds a high program bar. - Communicate risk clearly to executives and translate it into operational programs. - Think in systems and time horizons and build ahead of need. - Thrive in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments. Strong candidates may have - Considered a leader in your field, with experience building risk, safety, or resilience programs at hyperscale technology companies or across large multi-site, multinational organizations. - A strong EH&S background — program development and oversight in complex or high-risk environments. - Third-party / vendor risk management program experience. - Deep familiarity with enterprise risk frameworks (e.g., ISO 31000) and risk governance. - Relevant certifications (e.g., CSP, CIH, CPP, ARM, or ERM credentials). - Experience in high-profile, regulated, or research environments.
