Anthropic's Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team as a Security Risk & Compliance professional.

About Anthropic

Responsibilities

• In this role, you will be responsible for authoring security policies and standards for AI agent governance, defining review and approval criteria for sensitive data interactions, and monitoring agent behavior over time.
• You will also map agent security and data controls to AI governance frameworks, assess and document agent-related security and compliance risks, and own the policy for agent-related risk acceptances and exceptions.
• Serve as the security policy partner for AI agent governance, authoring the policies and standards for how agents are built, deployed, operated.
• Define review and approval criteria when an agent may interact with sensitive or regulated data, and which actions require human approval as it relates to compliance frameworks.
• Monitor agent behavior over time and adapt governance requirements in partnership with cross-functional security, research and engineering teams.
• Have 8+ years in security governance, risk, and compliance, including ownership of security policies and control standards at a technology company
• Have defined risk-based review or approval criteria within engineering workflows and kept them effective under high change velocity
• Can reason from a threat model to a control and explain the tradeoff to both an engineer and an auditor
• Think about non-human identities as a distinct risk and control category, and can design least-privilege access and accountability controls for systems acting on a person's behalf

Preferred

• Bring familiarity with AI governance frameworks alongside traditional security frameworks
• Have adapted controls from regulated or highly sensitive environments to an open, high-trust engineering culture
• Understand the security properties of LLM agents, whether from an AI, developer-platform, or agent-tooling company, or through comparable experience
