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.

Anthropic is seeking a Security Audit & Controls professional for its Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team to own the Common Control Framework across every control domain.
The role involves drafting and validating control descriptions, building continuous monitoring of control efficacy, and working with control owners to ensure compliance frameworks are accurate and trusted.
Building with Claude is integrated into the position to automate control mapping, evidence testing, and monitoring while maintaining human judgment in the loop.

Own the Common Control Framework: the canonical control set, its mappings to SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and customer commitments, and the change process for adding, retiring, or rewording controls.
Draft and validate control descriptions and control activities with control owners, so each control states who does what, how often, in which system, and what evidence proves it.
Design and run continuous monitoring of control efficacy: define the metrics and automated tests that show operating effectiveness, tune out false positives, surface failures to owners before an auditor does, and build the controls maturity model.
Verify remediation and carry it into steady state, advising on control design and implementation, confirming fixes, and keeping one source of truth for control and finding status.
Map new frameworks and commitments onto the CCF as we commit to them, and support gap assessments when a new framework, certification, product, or entity comes into scope.
Support the integrated audit and customer audits: readiness checks, walkthrough preparation, evidence request lists, and the readout of external findings back to GRC.
Evaluate evidence reliability, including the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports and AI-generated evidence, and set the standard for what audit-ready evidence looks like.
Build with Claude: automate control mapping, evidence testing, and monitoring, and verify machine-drafted control language before it becomes the record.

Several years in IT audit, security compliance, or controls assurance, including hands-on ownership of a control framework or control library across more than one framework (for example SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA).
Working command of audit mechanics: scoping, walkthroughs, sampling, design versus operating effectiveness, deficiency evaluation, and evidence reliability.
Experience writing control descriptions, control activities, and test procedures that other teams and external auditors relied on.
Experience with continuous controls monitoring or automated evidence collection, whether you built it, ran it, or audited it.
Enough technical fluency to read a runbook, a configuration, or a pipeline definition and judge whether it enforces what the written control claims.
Clear writing, because your control language and status reports are what auditors, engineers, and leadership work from.
Ability to get control owners and partner teams to prioritize and close work without having authority over them.
At least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Have designed or rebuilt a common controls framework and led the remapping of existing frameworks onto it
Have stood up continuous controls monitoring or automated evidence programs and can speak to coverage, false-positive rates, and what changed as a result
Have applied LLMs to assurance work, such as control drafting, framework mapping, evidence testing, or monitoring
Have defined or assessed controls for AI systems or agents operating in production, or for home-built internal systems
Have provided requirements for a homegrown GRC platform and worked with the engineers who build it
