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

As a Business Systems Analyst - Security Workforce on Anthropic's BizTech team, you'll own and evolve how Anthropic manages contractor security, access governance, and technical onboarding. This role sits at the intersection of security operations, workforce management, and employee experience—ensuring that everyone who joins Anthropic, whether as a contractor or full-time employee, has the access they need to do meaningful work while maintaining the security posture our mission demands.

You'll build and run the programs that govern how contingent workers are onboarded, credentialed, and offboarded from a security and access perspective. You'll also own the technical onboarding experience for our engineering and research roles, creating a seamless first-week experience that sets people up for success. This is a role for someone who believes that security and great user experience aren't at odds—they're complementary.

As Anthropic continues to scale rapidly, you'll help ensure our contingent workforce programs and onboarding processes evolve to meet the growing demands of our organization while maintaining the high standards of security, compliance, and experience that Anthropic requires.
