Insider Risk Forensic Investigator Lead
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:
At Anthropic, we are pioneering new frontiers in AI that have the potential to greatly benefit society. However, developing advanced AI also comes with risks if not properly safeguarded. That’s why we are seeking an exceptional Insider Risk Investigations Lead that will be part of the frontline teams. The Insider Risk team works cross-functional to identify, investigate and mitigate emerging risks. In this role, you will have the opportunity to strengthen our security capabilities from the ground up alongside our world-class research and security teams.
Responsibilities:
- Assist in establishing processes, procedures and systems to identify and investigate risks using self-discovery methods.
- Detect, analyze, and mitigate potential insider risks by proactively correlating data from various sources.
- Conduct prompt investigation of allegations regarding civil or criminal acts of fraud, theft, conflict of interest, misuse of confidential information, embezzlement, data breaches, ethics allegations, in-depth background investigations and liaise with legal, HR and other cross-functional teams.
- Develop, maintain, and enhance insider risk indicators and use case scenarios as well as deliver education and awareness programs to promote a robust security culture.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address visibility gaps and improve security measures.
You may be a good fit if you:
- Bachelor’s degree and/or higher education in a related field.
- Possess a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential with understanding of fraud tests and detection strategies.
- 3 + years of experience in insider risk analysis, investigations, cybersecurity or a related domain.
- Board understanding of internal and external investigations, cybersecurity, surveillance, risk assessment and managing strong cross-functional relationships.
- Exceptional communications, collaboration skills and the ability to lead projects with little guidance.
Strong candidates may also:
- Knowledge of DLP, UEBA, SIEM and other insider risk security tools
- Experience working in the technology industry or with AI and machine learning companies
- Experience contributing to a high growth startup environment
- Specialized knowledge of risks unique to the AI sector
Candidates Need Not Have:
- 100% of the skills needed to perform the job
- All certifications or educational credentials listed
- Prior experience working in the AI field
Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
The expected salary range for this position is:
Logistics
Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.
US visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate; operations roles are especially difficult to support. But if we make you an offer, we will make every effort to get you into the United States, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.

How we're different
We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills.
The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences.
