Audit, Security GRC

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 team Anthropic's Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team is the connective tissue that holds the company accountable to its security commitments. We translate regulatory, customer, and voluntary obligations into controls that teams act on, and give leadership a bird's-eye view of how well we're meeting them. We're building toward a fundamentally different kind of GRC: one that directs Claude, with the right humans in the loop, to challenge and evidence the performance of controls continuously rather than through periodic audits. Within Security GRC, Audit & Assurance runs the integrated audit across our frameworks and maintains the Common Control Framework the program hangs off. This role sits in Audit & Assurance and helps run that integrated audit program, plan the audits we add next, and assess the frameworks and scope changes we are considering. About the role You'll help run Anthropic's unified audit program: quarterly audits across SOC 2, HIPAA and the ISO 27000 family including ISO 42001, plus the rest of our certifications, working with our audit firms, our GRC Partners, and control owners across the company. You'll plan new audits as we expand to new frameworks, platforms and regions, and run the gap assessments that tell us what each expansion takes before we commit to it. You'll help build the audit operating model and runbook, and drive automation in the program so evidence is collected once and reused across frameworks, requests reach control owners once, and each audit cycle takes less effort than the last. Building with Claude is a normal part of the job, with you deciding where human judgment stays in the loop. This is an individual contributor role for someone with program management experience who writes clearly, stays calm under deadlines, and likes making a busy program simpler. Key responsibilities • Run the audit program as a program: one integrated plan and calendar across audits and expansions, with milestones, dependencies, risks and decisions tracked, and regular status to GRC leadership and stakeholders • Plan and run the quarterly audits, from scoping through report and findings closeout • Run audit readiness ahead of each fieldwork window: control owner prep, evidence pre-checks and walkthrough dry runs • Scope each audit's boundary with Product and Engineering: which products and deployment paths are in scope, and flag when a launch or new platform changes it • Help build the audit operating model and runbook for a unified audit program, and keep both current as the program grows • Drive automation in the program: evidence collected from source systems, request tracking and audit reporting, with evidence and walkthroughs reused across frameworks • Coordinate audits across frameworks and firms so audit windows line up and control owners are asked for the same evidence once, and drive new ways of automated evidence generation and collection with GRC Engineering • Plan new audits and audit expansions as we commit to them • Run framework and scope expansion evaluations and gap assessments, with a recommendation and an effort estimate leadership can act on • Work closely with control owners and GRC Partners: prepare control owners for audits, get evidence delivered and findings closed, and hand findings that need extended remediation to GRC Partners • Manage day-to-day auditor relationships, and report audit status, findings and program metrics to GRC leadership Minimum qualifications • Several years of program management: running multi-workstream programs with a plan, milestones, dependencies, risk tracking and status reporting to leadership • Several years running external security audits (SOC 2 and ISO 27001 at minimum), on the company side or at an audit firm, including seasons with several frameworks at once • Working knowledge of SOC 2, the ISO 27000 family, ISO 42001 and HIPAA, and where their requirements overlap • Experience leading a gap assessment for a new framework or scope change and presenting the result to leadership • Experience building or improving an audit process: calendars, request tracking, runbooks, roles and responsibilities • Enough technical fluency to understand how evidence is produced in cloud environments and to judge whether a system-generated report is complete and accurate, and to build simple automations with Claude • Clear writing and calm coordination under deadline pressure • Ability to get control owners to deliver on time without authority over them Preferred qualifications • Audit firm experience (Big 4 or a SOC 2 or ISO certification body), especially as a senior or manager on technology clients • Experience adding new frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27701 or 27018, CSA STAR, or international schemes (for example IRAP, ISMAP or C5) • Have automated evidence collection or audit reporting, or use Claude or other LLMs day to day to plan, track and report program work • Experience with a GRC platform or building lightweight internal tooling You don't need to • Have done everything on this list. The combination is running a global audit calendar well, plus the instinct to make it simpler each cycle • Hold every certification. CISA, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor or similar are welcome but not required • Have prior AI industry experience Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be received on a rolling basis.
