Head of Enterprise Risk

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.

Qualifications

• 12+ years in enterprise risk, safety, resilience, or security program leadership, including managing teams and multi-disciplinary programs.
• Built or owned an enterprise risk management framework and integrated it into business planning.
• Led multi-disciplinary programs (e.g., EH&S, access, third-party risk, or facility programs) at organizational scale.
• 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.

Preferred Experience

• 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.
