Role description

What the team is looking for.

We are looking for a Cyber Policy Lead to lead our work on the cybersecurity dimensions of frontier AI policy. Reporting to the Head of National Security Policy, you will shape and lead Anthropic's external policy posture on cyber issues across the U.S. federal government, allied democracies, and critical infrastructure communities.

As a senior member of the National Security Policy team, you will serve as Anthropic's principal cyber policy voice with the federal government and Congress, sector risk management agencies, and allied government counterparts. You will translate Anthropic's research on frontier model cyber capabilities into concrete policy proposals, partnership opportunities, and meaningful contributions to public debates, and ensure that Anthropic's voice helps tilt the cyber balance toward defense.

Key responsibilities include developing and leading Anthropic's external cyber policy strategy, serving as the day-to-day point of contact for senior cyber policymakers, shaping Anthropic's own policies and approaches to mitigating cyber risks, and developing strategies for AI to strengthen the cyber resilience of the United States, allied democracies, and operators of critical infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will have a track record of effective, information-rich advocacy with cyber regulators, sector risk management agencies, and Congressional committees of jurisdiction, and bring deep familiarity with the institutions and authorities that shape U.S. cyber policy.
