Protective Intelligence Analyst

About the Role

We are seeking a Protective Intelligence Analyst to join our growing protective services team. In this role, you will play a critical part in identifying, assessing, and mitigating threats to Anthropic's people, facilities, operations, and reputation through intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination.
