The role involves building a rigorous investigative program, hiring domain experts, developing threat-specific detection methods, and leading high-severity investigations involving scientific judgment, government stakeholders, biosecurity organizations, and scientific communities.

The role may involve exposure to explicit, violent, sexual, or psychologically disturbing content and may require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.

• Mature the emerging function into a rigorous investigative program.
• Hire, manage, and develop investigators with expertise in biological, chemical, and weapons-development threats.
• Lead investigations into attempts to use Anthropic systems to develop, enhance, or disseminate CBRN-E weapons or advanced weapons capabilities.
• Develop CBRN-specific detection signals and methodologies for dual-use research concerns in partnership with collections engineers.
• Establish analytical quality standards using cross-platform threat analysis, threat actor behavior, open-source research, and publicly reported weapons programs.
• Own escalation and enforcement decisions with policy and enforcement teams.
• Lead engagement with government agencies, biosecurity and chemical-security research communities, and scientific organizations.
• Inform safety-by-design and capability-evaluation strategies by forecasting how threat actors may use frontier AI for CBRN-E purposes.
• Liaise with government partners through reporting and briefings on AI-enabled threats.

Requirements

• Deep domain expertise in biosecurity, chemical defense, weapons non-proliferation, dual-use research of concern (DURC), or related CBRN-E threat domains.
• Experience leading investigative or analytical teams, mentoring staff, and building programs as a senior domain expert.
• Experience with threat actor profiling, threat intelligence analysis frameworks, and collection frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with large language models and potential AI misuse for CBRN-E threats.
• Excellent stakeholder management across researchers, policy experts, legal teams, government stakeholders, and external partners.
• Ability to present analytical work to technical and non-technical audiences, including government stakeholders and senior leadership.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience in a relevant field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in biological sciences, chemistry, biodefense, biosecurity, or a related field.
• Experience countering weapons of mass destruction or other high-risk asymmetric threats in intelligence or defense organizations.
• Experience with government agencies, defense or national security organizations, regulated environments, sensitive CBRN-E programs, counterproliferation, or threat analysis.
• Background in AI safety, machine learning security, or technology abuse investigation.
