Threat Intel Manager, CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons

Job title: Threat Intel Manager, CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons

About the Role Lead and grow Anthropic's CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons threat intelligence program within Threat Intelligence. Build a rigorous investigative team to detect, investigate, and disrupt misuse of Anthropic's AI in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats and in the development of advanced weapons. You will mature this from a promising start into a rigorous program, hiring investigators with real CBRN-E, weaponization, and counterproliferation expertise, sharpening detection beyond broad harm screens into threat-specific capabilities, and personally leading the cases where scientific judgment determines whether we're seeing curiosity, legitimate research, or a genuine weapons-development attempt. The area carries significant engagement with government, biosecurity, and scientific stakeholders. Important context: In this position you may be exposed to explicit content spanning a range of topics, including those of a sexual, violent, or psychologically disturbing nature. This role may require responding to escalations during weekends and holidays.

What You'll Do

• Own strategy, priorities, and outcomes for the CBRN-E & Advanced Weapons mission area; mature it from an emerging function into a rigorous investigative program
• Hire, manage, and develop a team of investigators with deep domain expertise across biological, chemical, and weapons-development threat areas
• Personally lead investigations into attempts to use our systems to develop, enhance, or disseminate CBRN-E weapons, or advanced weapons capabilities
• Evolve detection from broad harm screens toward CBRN-specific signals and methodologies tailored to dual-use research concerns, in partnership with our collections engineers
• Set the analytic quality bar: cross-platform threat analysis grounded in real threat actor behavior, open-source research, and publicly reported weapons programs
• Own escalation and enforcement decisions with policy and enforcement teams for the highest-severity misuse category we handle
• Lead external 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 will leverage frontier AI for CBRN-E purposes
• Serve as a liaison to government partners, educating stakeholders on AI-enabled threats through regular reporting and briefings.

What We're Looking For

• Experience leading and building a threat intelligence program or equivalent team, with domain expertise across biological, chemical, and weapons-development threat areas.
• Proven ability to hire, develop, and manage investigators.
• Hands-on experience conducting investigations into attempts to misuse AI systems for CBRN-E or advanced weapons purposes.
• Ability to evolve detection strategies from broad harm screens to CBRN-specific signals; foster collaboration with collections engineers.
• Strong analytic capabilities grounded in open-source research and knowledge of threat actor behavior and publicly reported weapons programs.
• Experience engaging with government agencies, biosecurity/chemical-security researchers, and scientific organizations.
• Ability to forecast how threat actors will leverage frontier AI and influence safety-by-design and capability-evaluation strategies.
• Excellent communication skills for regular reporting and briefings to government partners; comfortable handling sensitive content.
